‘Expect Impact’ is the theme for Konica Minolta’s stand at this year’s IPEX. At the show the company is demonstrating its professional printing solutions for central reprographic departments, commercial printers and the graphic arts industry. Visitors can see, touch and experience the Konica Minolta product line, including brand new innovations, as well as live applications. The demonstrations will show print professionals how to make an impact by means of comprehensive solutions, in terms of growing business, achieving more flexibility and serving customers better.

“Our theme for the IPEX 2010, ‘Expect Impact’, summarises the additional values Konica Minolta’s professional printing solutions offer our customers’ businesses,” says Olaf Lorenz, General Manager, International Marketing Division, at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe. “Our experts at the IPEX stand will show how our technologies and services open up additional business opportunities in the printing and graphic arts sector. Boosting sales and being able to act flexibly in response to customers’ demands and the economic situation are key business capabilities that we are supporting with our hardware and software solutions.”

Visitors will experience Konica Minolta’s core products and applications for the professional printing environment first-hand at a stand with around 1,250 square metres of floor space. Highlights of the production printing line-up are the bizhub PRO C6501 series for highest colour quality as well as the bizhub PRO 1200 series for superior black and white performance. Both printing systems impress with their fast print speed and their flexibility of media handling and finishing options. Konica Minolta will also demonstrate its workflow solutions, for example the Printgroove POD series and the Printgroove Jt series, showing how entire print production processes are managed efficiently, from job submission and shipping to invoice generation.

In cooperation with international processing and finishing companies, Konica Minolta will showcase complete applications, from creative ideas via software processing, printing and finishing to the end product, such as photo books, business reports and mailings. Consequently, visitors will not only see, but also touch and feel the impressive quality, speed and flexibility that can be easily achieved in today’s print workflows. In addition brand new innovations for the professional printing world will be presented at the Konica Minolta booth for the first time.

“At our IPEX stand, we’d like to show printing professionals what they can offer their customers in terms of end products, print quality and services,” adds Olaf Lorenz. “With our extensive experience and broad range of printing solutions, we consider ourselves the ideal partner for all customers seeking to perform at top level. From us, you can really expect impact for your business.”
