The Milton Keynes-headquartered digital press manufacturer launched the 1600P, 2000P and 2500P, which it said would boost its presence in the mono market and challenge the market share of Océ and Xerox.

Clare Revell, head of production print at Konica Minolta, said: "After our recent in-roads into the colour production print market, the Black is Back theme for the Konica Minolta stand at Total Print! Expo reemphasises our continuing commitment to innovation in the mono production print sector."

The company claims the Bizhub Pro 2500P is the world's fastest single-pass printing system offering speeds of up to 15,000 images an hour.

The Bizhub Pro 1600P and 2000P presses can output at speeds of 160 and 200 A4ppm respectively in a single-pass process.

Konica Minolta's new Bizhub machines can print on substrates from 40-300gsm and in resolutions of up to 1,200x600dpi.

The company will also be showcasing the new colour Bizhub PRO C6501e – the successor to the Pro C6500 machine.
