Konica Minolta’s bizhub PRESS C8000 has become the first toner-based press to receive the IDEAlliance Digital Press Certification. The certification ensures that a toner press can consistently meet the production requirements of IDEAlliance’s GRACoL colour reproduction specifications.
“By being the first in the industry to earn Digital Press Certification from IDEAlliance, the bizhub PRESS C8000 is setting the standard for excellence that will come to be expected by customers looking for the highest quality and superior performance from their digital presses,” said Kevin Kern, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “Having G7 Experts in house and certifying our industry-leading digital presses is just another reason print professionals can count on Konica Minolta to ensure that our technology is not only innovative, but also leading the industry in superior performance certification.”
A program that verifies a toner-based production press’ ability to meet print specifications based on internationally recognized ISO standards, the IDEAlliance Digital Press Certification testing was produced by a team G7 Experts from two separate divisions of the Konica Minolta Group including Russell Doucette from Konica Minolta Sensing Americas and Jeff Collins from Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Dawn Nye, Product Marketing Manager for Production Print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., provided leadership and support on the Konica Minolta Team.
“Our industry benefits greatly from independent system verification and certification. Digital press technologies that meet industry specifications and standards have crossed a new milestone and we thank Konica Minolta for their leadership in supporting this exciting program,” said David Steinhardt, President and CEO, IDEAlliance. “Konica Minolta’s participation in obtaining a Digital Press System Certification will go a long way in helping the industry enhance its understanding and application of digital printing.”
