SUPERB QUALITY & HIGH MEDIA FLEXIBILITY

With high-definition polymerised toner Simitri® HDIn printing, you expect an excellent output quality, but at the same time you want to save costs and avoid any dependence on external printing services. With the ability to produce print products to a professional standard in-house, you and your teams benefit from time savings and enhanced productivity.

To support your public image as a competent business partner, it is essential to produce corporate documents with a professional look and feel. For this purpose, you need equipment that guarantees an excellent print quality at all times. To satisfy even your most stringent quality expectations, you expect outstanding results that are also achieved with an extended range of media flexibility and more resistant, higher durability output. At the same time, you should not disregard the environmental aspects but go for systems and materials with a sound eco performance and minimised carbon footprint.

SIMITRI® HD

BEST IMAGE

QUALITYProduce professional, dependable, durable print products of the highest quality on a fast and daily basis over the short, medium and long term!

The excellent image output quality you expect from Konica Minolta bizhub devices is achieved by the tiny uniformly shaped toner particles that characterise the polymerised toner developed by Konica Minolta. These resin-based particles ensure razor-sharp edges and lines, and produce images that impress with their smooth surface finish and are highly durable, offering unparalleled colourfastness. The colour spectrum of printers is extended thanks to the smoother dispersion of pigments.

ENHANCED

MEDIA FLEXIBILITY

The lower fusing temperature of high-defi nition polymerised toner not only ensures the smooth and trouble-free printing of labels, envelopes, glossy and heavy-weight papers; it also makes your equipment considerably more energy-effi cient.

Benefi t from more durable printed output that does not peel from the paper surface: paper can be folded, enabling you to produce, for example, corporate brochures that usually feature folded edges. At the same time, writing on your prints using various writing implements (ballpoint pens, felt tips etc.) is no longer a problem, for example, on contracts, because Konica Minolta’s polymerised toner development is one of the few toner varieties that do not contain oil.

Your concern is to minimise the environmental footprint of your business, reduce carbon emissions as well as the energy consumption of your output devices, and at the same time reap the benefi ts of attractive cost savings.

The entire production process of polymerised toner is confi gured to be environment-compatible. The impact on the environment is reduced, for example, by the raw materials used in Simitri® HD production, including biomass as one of its ingredients.

Biomass is a plant-based renewable organic resource made up of various biological materials and exclusive of fossil fuels. This is a key forward-looking development in a society increasingly aware of the carbon problem: the use of biomass not only helps reduce the carbon foot-print; emissions of SOX and NOX are also lowered.

SUSTAINABLE AND

ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLYThe reduced energy consumption during the production phase approximately represents a cumulative 40% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared with standard pulverised toner production processes.

Reduced energy consumption and the corresponding cost savings are also what you are looking for in the performance of your output devices. Simitri® HD achieves this with the lower fusing temperature that is one of the physical characteristics of its tiny and uniform particles.

As another ecological advantage, de-inking – which is an essential process during paper recycling – is especially eff ective in the case of Simitri® HD polymerised toner. The International Association of the De-inking Industry (INGEDE) has confi rmed that removing the Konica Minolta polymerised toner is particularly easy.
