Mix of AIOs and Printers Reduce Overall Costs and Drive Office Efficiencies

(Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, today announced the availability of the bizhub® 20 Series of A4 Monochrome Printers, designed to reduce overall costs and drive office efficiencies while offering a small footprint. The bizhub 20 all-in-one (AIO) combines printing, copying, faxing and color scanning capabilities, while the bizhub 20P laser printer specializes in easing the print-load of small workgroups.

With the bizhub 20 and bizhub 20P devices, users can focus on reducing the overall cost of running a business by intelligently deploying the right mix of MFPs and printers for their office needs. Using monochrome printers for everyday tasks, while employing an appropriate number of MFPs for jobs that require them, allows for a more efficient use of printing resources. The bizhub 20 and bizhub 20P print at speeds up to 32 pages per minute and come with initial toner capacity of an 8,000 page yield, offering an advantage over competition when comparing total cost of ownership (TCO).

The bizhub 20 AIO is a great fit for many business environments, offering scan-to-FTP, scan-to-Email, and scan-to-SMB to share files more easily. Combining essential business functions in one space-saving design, the device can be centralized for small offices by placing it locally on an individual’s desk, or in small workgroups in mid- and large-sized businesses, while perfectly complementing higher-volume A3 devices. Both devices can be used in many business environments including General Manufacturing, Real Estate, Finance, Religious, Professional, Nonprofit Organizations, Education, Legal, Healthcare, General Office/Corporate environments, and many more.

“The bizhub 20 and 20P help to complete our product range and allow our customers to deploy the right product mix to meet their specific business needs,” said Kevin Kern, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “As peripheral devices, they will meet the needs of our Major Account Business, as well as fit within our fast-growing Optimized Print Services program for businesses of all sizes.”

Konica Minolta Recycling Program

June 10, 2011 by dev_af2uw2 Leave a Comment

A smaller ecological footprint is to everyone’s advantage – and you can count on Konica Minolta to lead the way in making toner cartridge and consumable recycling simple and cost-free. Whether you have a single Konica Minolta desktop printer, an entire fleet of bizhub MFPs, bizhub PRO or bizhub PRESS production print equipment, you’ll be able to recycle toner cartridges and consumables – including waste toner boxes, imaging units, developer or developer units and drums – in a simple way.

For our small and home office customers. Single consumable items can be recycled by printing a postage paid UPS label here. Simply apply it to the new box containing the used consumable item and ship via UPS.

For our mid-sized customers. A recycling box designed to hold 10 – 15 items (consumables only, not shipping materials) can be ordered here. Just assemble the box and the reusable lid and place it in your office. When the box is full, you can print out a UPS label from this site, apply it to the box and ship via UPS. Please note: only Konica Minolta Clean Planet boxes can be accepted.

For high-volume customers. Konica Minolta can arrange for the delivery and pickup of recycling pallets that hold a larger quantity of consumable items (not shipping materials).

For our Optimized Print Service customers. For customers who have devices managed by our OPS program, most models already include a process for printing out postage paid labels. Please continue to use this process to ship back consumables.

For customers who recycle a large volume of Konica Minolta consumables, on an ongoing basis, you may want to consider a pallet sized box to be installed at your location. Please contact your Konica Minolta sales representative for more details regarding this service.

Please recycle efficiently. Since Konica Minolta toner bottles are made of a material designed for recycling in local facilities, Konica Minolta cannot accept shipment of these empty bottles. Please check the rules of your municipality for specific information.

Konica Minolta branded consumables ONLY please! If you have printer/copiers from other manufacturers, we encourage you to take advantage of their recycling programs. We reserve the right to recover costs for unauthorized items returned using our program.
