Konica adds color MFPs to line

Konica Business Technologies has introduced two new mid-range color multifunction products (MFPs): the Konica 8020 and 8031 Color Imaging Systems.

Featuring copy and print speeds from 20-31 pages per minute (ppm) in color and black and white, the 8020 and 8031 are the first Konica color products

Replacing the 7915 and 7920, both the 8020 and 8031 offer 600 x 600 dpi (dots per inch) copy resolution and up to 600 x 1800 dpi resolution; standard electronic sort in both copy and print mode, scan-to-email and Internet fax capabilities; and an optional hard drive for job storage. Applications include corporate and graphic use in a variety of industries: marketing materials, flyers, direct mail pieces, financial reports, graphs, charts, variable data printing (VDP), CAD/CAM drawings and user and technical manuals.

A four-drum, four-developer LED technology system applies four colors in one pass with a straight paper-path design that supports up to 12 in x 18 in copying and printing on up to 140-lb paper via the bypass tray and universal cassette.

A large touch screen, with a tilt keypad and font display enlargement, guides users step-by-step through the copy process. Modular design allows for an extensive list of options, including a duplexing document feeder, 2,500-sheet large capacity tray, two additional 500-sheet paper trays, a corner-stapler finisher and a saddle-stitch booklet finisher with a two and/or three hole-punch unit.

Two optional print controllers are available for network printing and scanning.
