Large on-board color display. A large,
easy-to-read 12.1" color touch-panel display

All printing and finishing functions are easily
accessible through clear, intuitive menus, so
operators can handle jobs more quickly – and
temporary personnel can be productive right
from the start.
The bizhub®PRO Color Production Series is designed to get the job done – better and faster, in
color and B&W, with inline finishing, digital productivity and intelligent job management that
provide real value on your production floor. At last, on-demand color printing can be cost-effective.
Color quality and image definition can rival the output of costly offset equipment – with less
setup time and minimum supervision. Variable data printing can fine-tune communications
materials from print to print, adding powerful impact and increasing response rates exponentially.
And scaleable options can create a customized solution for corporate in-plant print facilities,
commercial printers, and print-for-pay services – any production environment that demands
more work at higher speed with lower cost.
