Nieuwegein, March 2, 2006 - Konica Minolta Printing Solutions Europe announced today the launch of its European-wide customer loyalty program the Konica Minolta PowerPack.

The first of its kind, the PowerPack brings unprecedented value by offering customers an extensive range of services and programs free of charge. It is designed to foster reassurance and enhance printing experience- thereby increasing customer satisfaction. After registration, customers have access to the following benefits:

Extended warranty up to 3 years

Customers can extend their warranty for up to 3 years by returning their original cartridges free of charge via the Clean Planet program, a cartridge return and recycling program provided by Konica Minolta. By rewarding customers for recycling their cartridges, Konica Minolta actively pursues its role as an environmental leader.

Guaranteed return value on their replacement printer

After 3 years of use, customers can trade in their Konica Minolta printer and receive a discount on their replacement printer. This not only allows for significant cost savings, but it provides an attractive way to upgrade to the latest technology.

Discount on bundled options

Providing a discount of up to 75% on bundled options when purchasing a pre-configured model, customers can save on supplementary feeders and duplexers increasing efficiency and flexibility.

Free product training and software

Customers have access to a product tutorial providing in depth information on how to maximize the use of their printer. The software enables them to generate templates for a wide variety of print outs. Both will be available online after registration.

"Konica Minolta is recognized for offering products that provide high quality at an attractive price. Now more than ever, customers are looking for the best option when purchasing a printer. The PowerPack adds value that goes beyond the product by rewarding customers with additional services and programs that they appreciate the most" said Frank Akihary, General Manager, Sales and Marketing EMEA at Konica Minolta.

The PowerPack is offered exclusively to customers who have purchased the magicolor 2450 and 5400 series and will be available in the Spring. Registration is required within 30 days after the date of purchase. Customers can register online at www.konicaminolta-powerpack.com.
