Konica Minolta's range of printers and MFPs utilise the power of contone technology to produce amazing print-outs in life-like colours. The 600 x 600 x 4-bit Photo ART contone resolution ensures colours are consistently vivid and alive, with razor-sharp graphics and text. With Photo ART contone, colour transitions are much finer and photos are more detailed.

Instead of using a halftone the printer has the capability of varying the intensity of the colour printed on an individual pixel. The ability to produce more colours on a single pixel allows the printer to reduce the size of the halftone cell required to print the desired range of colours. This means that the user does not have to sacrifice as much printing detail to maintain the same printable colour range.
