Bizhub PRESS C1085 at PrimeNet’s MN Direct Mail Center is Running Strong!
We’re happy to announce that our
85-ppm Konica Minolta Bizhub PRESS C1085, has been running wonderfully and has proven itself as an excellent addition to our printing equipment lineup here at PrimeNet.
Clearly one of the best production devices in its class, the Bizhub PRESS C1085 has consistently scored highly on all of its quality-test categories when testing was conducted by Buyer’s Lab International (BLI), an independent research and lab services testing company. “Usually we see models that excel in one or two areas, but fall short in others,” says David Sweetnam, head of BLI’s European Research and Lab Services. “With such an impressive all-around performance, the Bizhub PRESS C1085 will be a good fit in mid-volume production environments regardless of whether productivity, image quality, media handling or ease of use is the main concern.” And in PrimeNet’s case, it is a great fit for our customers and our business, mutually.
The Bizhub PRESS C1085 boasts color consistency and is among the best in class and is one of only a few production units to earn BLI’s highest 5-star rating for color consistency. Testing instruments “recorded no drift greater than Delta 2.9 on any of 12 colors on coated or non-coated stock when measured at five intervals over the course of 1,000 impressions. Text and fine lines were equally stellar, also earning 5-star ratings, and the device produced smooth halftone curves across all four colors.” Source: BLI, via keypointintelligence.com
