High Image Quality

bizhub PRO 1200/1051 delivers monochrome output quality that rivals offset printing, producing consistent quality throughout high-volume jobs
Advanced reproduction of fine text lines

Belt transfer system

The bizhub PRO 1200/1051 uses a belt transfer system that improves the quality of paper feeding and images being transferred. Using an electric charge, the gap between the paper and the belt is eliminated. The pressure of the belt ensures that toner is fixed without unevenness for higher consistency. The incidence of image repellence at the papers edge and nip resistance which can cause inaccurate transfers is also reduced.
LPH (LED Print Head) writing system
The new LPH system employs an LED print head with a beam diameter of only 30 microns, half the size of previous models, making resolutions of 1,200dpi possible. This enables even finer text quality and improved image gradations.

Fixing roller

LED unit Rod lens array

Real 1,200dpi resolution

Documents can be copied at a high-quality resolution of up to 1,200x1,200dpi, resulting in sharp, crisp lettering and fine lines even at small font sizes, as well as smooth gradations and sharp details for images and photos. Additional smoothing processes during printing further enhance the appearance of your output.

Transfer roller Belt

The belt pressure eliminates gaps against the drum

Conventional toner

New Polymerised Toner Smaller uniform particles for better print quality

Wax Pigment

Rich, lifelike gradations and halftone image processing
Tone Curve Utility CIE Colour Space
In cases where colour data is being used, CIE colour space conversion enables the most accurate reproduction in monochrome. This mode produces much richer shadows, detailed highlights and smooth *This reduces output speed 10-20% gradations. The tone curve utility is a standard part of the print controller. This allows image brightness and contrast to be adjusted to prevent blow-out of white or collapse of blacks. No other software is required, making adjustments simple and fast.

New Simitri HD Toner

Konica Minoltas new Simitri HD toner uses smaller, more consistently shaped particles, providing finer, straighter lines and more even halftones with fewer variations in density. Because it uses oil-less fixer, even solid blacks are produced with a natural looking gloss and reduced glare. The end result is beautiful image quality to rival that of offset printers.
Conventional toner New Polymerised Toner

CIE Color OFF

CIE Color ON
Superior image stability ensures accurate, high-quality reproduction

Improved D-Max

To achieve a greater image density, a new developer is being used and the developer settings have been improved. The electric charge between the drum and the developer sleeve has been strengthened, improving the developing quality. By raising the maximum image density (D-max) density fluctuations during large-scale printing have been minimised.

Drum Developing roller

Screen settings
New pre-setting screens (2 types in 3 patterns each) and dot screens were developed for 1,200dpi output, optimised for images, text or mixed data. By choosing the screen that best suits a particular output type, print quality can be maximised.
Photo mode Reproduces low-resolution images with smooth gradations 1,200dpi 120 lpi 170 lpi 212 lpi 600dpi 86 lpi 106 lpi 141 lpi

High coverage mode

This mode controls the image quality of high-coverage output during continuous printing, as this is when unevenness in density is most likely to occur. Output is monitored every 10 seconds or an average of 5 pages and if the output is judged to be a high-coverage document, print speed is automatically adjusted. This controls unevenness in density, ensuring documents maintain a high level of uniformity. You can choose between Image Quality Priority Mode or Speed Priority Mode depending on your needs.
Note: In High-coverage Mode, productivity is reduced to 30-40ppm.
Pre-setting Photo/text mode Suitable for photos and text screens

Text mode

Reproduces fine text lines clearly

Dot screen

Reduces the possibility of moire patterns during overlay printing
This spacing has been optimised for a stronger electric field and improved developing quality
High-quality double-sided printing
Front and back registration
Advanced image position precision

Paper skew sensor

The paper skew sensor prevents gaps in output that can occur when a sheet of paper becomes momentarily stuck or warped. When the amount of bend in the sheet exceeds a pre-determined limit, printing automatically stops to prevent later output from being affected.

New TCR and IDC sensors

The bizhub PRO 1200/1051 uses Image Density Control (IDC) sensor together with the newly developed Toner Carrier Ratio (TCR) sensor to better regulate image density. The TCR sensor controls toner density, while the IDC sensor controls the rotation speed of the developer sleeve. Compared to previous models, which only used the IDC sensor, this new arrangement achieves better prevention of toner spills and more consistent output quality. This means that wide variations in density will be reproduced consistently, even over long print runs.

Improved developing unit agitation
To ensure print quality even at high output speeds, bizhub PRO 1200/1051 features improved developing unit agitation. The longer agitator screw and optimised rotation speed prevent fluctuations in toner density and ensure a consistent balance. This prevents changes in image density during continuous printing or at the ends of each output document.
Using image shift and independent magnification adjustment, high-quality registration between front and back sides is possible. To eliminate small gaps between the two sides, minute adjustments to horizontal and vertical printing positions are automatically made. This level of accuracy is especially important in binding, where pages must be cut to fit together properly.
In-line Finishing & Easy Operation
High-quality finishing capabilities allow a greater range of customer services to be offered, increasing profitability
Perfect Binder Unit PB-502/PB-503

Staple Finisher FS-521

Staple up to 100 sheets at once
By attaching the FS-521 Staple Finisher, up to 100 sheets can be stapled automatically, either by corner stapling or twopoint stapling. The staple cutting and in-line clinch feature produce clean, attractive results even on small jobs. An improved stack alignment function ensures that sheets are never skewed or uneven.
For greater speed and convenience in preparing on-demand jobs, the bizhub PRO 1200/1051 automatically handles page imposition for a wide selection of arrangements, including saddle stitch, perfect binding and centre folding. In addition, This system is also ideal for printing of small-size repeat layouts, such as business cards, tickets and direct mail fliers. Imposition for up to 16 sides can be performed on the same sheet. This feature greatly simplifies the layout process, allowing users to complete jobs faster and more accurately.

Perfect binding

Pages are scanned or prepared for printing in 8-page groups. Final output Pages are then copied or printed 2 pages to a side (4 pages on two sides), on 2 sheets of paper.

Per-page function

This feature allows multiple printing and finishing settings to be applied to separate pages within a single document. For example, individual pages or sets of pages can be stapled, printed single- or double-sided, or printed on different types of paper. This gives customers much greater latitude in choosing how their documents will be produced, and the convenient interface makes it quick and simple for users to set.
