Flexibility pays off
bizhub PRO C500, Colour Office System
Flexibility is not a luxury
All professionals appreciate the value of flexibility. Quick planning when the unexpected is expected and the ability to get things done right, on time and competently is a central concern. Konica Minolta understands this. And also the needs of companies with large and small printing requirements: Some jobs were just too big or complicated for in-house production. Other jobs were too small for professional printers, and when time and costs are a factor, you don't always want to rely on external providers. Colour systems that could have done the job were just not feasible: Too big, too expensive. Until now! Youll be surprised !

Flexibility pure

The new bizhub PRO C500 is the digital colour device that will change your mind about what a copier-printer can do forever.

Flexibility and quality at

your fingertips

The bizhub PRO C500
offers the ideal combination of technical features important to you.
The high-performance bizhub PRO C500 is big in quality and big in functionality, but it's small enough for your office facilities. It combines precision, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. And thanks to its up-to-date technology, a whole range of services that were previously only available by out-sourcing your print jobs are now possible in a digital colour copier-printer. And it's built to take the pressure of frequent use and high-volume print runs. It has a machine life of 5,000,000 prints or 5 years.

The printing area extends up to 318 x 480 mm. Mixmedia: White and colour sheets from different trays. Mixplex: Single / duplex printing - switch during operations.
Flexible Printing and Copying

You want speed. We'll give you speed. You can print up to 51 A4 pages and up to 27 A3 pages per minute in colour and black-and-white. Production is not only flexible, but also convenient: You don't have to stop printing to refill paper or toner.

Flexible Colour Management
The bizhub PRO C500 is a guarantee for top quality colour printing. Professional colour management gives you the flexibility of design possibilities with increased colour precision and colour consistency from the first print to the last. No matter how large the print run is. Thanks to SimitriTM, Konica Minolta's special polymerised toner, your prints will be second to none.

The flexible road to success
Flexibility has its price. But the price for printing flexibility was never lower. Thanks to improved technologies, operational costs are lower than ever before. The lower price-per-page offered by the bizhub PRO C500 means more flexibility for you: It is now more economical to produce larger print runs of your booklets and other business-oriented printed matter in-house than out-sourcing them.

High-quality results and media flexibility gives you the edge on the road to success.
