2007 - The Year of the "Next Generation" |
Introducing the bizhub C203, C253 and C353
 | In April 2007, Konica Minolta introduced its sixth generation colour MFD for the office market, the Konica Minolta bizhub C550. Its technology suite really captured the imagination of our customers, and is selling in record breaking numbers. During the summer, Konica Minolta added the bizhub C451 and bizhub C650 models to the family, thus offering the same high specification, superbly designed systems to support the needs of mid-high volume range users in the colour MFD marketplace |
