　　Colourfast already uses a range of Konica Minolta systems, including the Bizhub Pro C6501e colour press with Creo print controller and Bizhub Pro 1200 mono presses using its JTMan software.

　　With a print speed of up to 80 pages per minute the Bizhub C8000 will be used by Colourfast to output high quality colour documentation for customers in the financial sector.

　　Colourfast specialises in producing reports for annual general meetings, prospectus documents for Initial Public Offerings, and shareholder statements, for example.

　　Colourfast has moved to digital output for this important financial colour work because of easier operation, reliability and consistency.

　　Digital print requires fewer resources, and generates cost savings for better output.

　　Colourfast selected the Bizhub C8000 for its image consistency, definition and quality.

　　The Bizhub C8000 will be used mainly for overnight output on time and mission critical work.

　　The system supplied to Colourfast will have an online booklet finisher and an EFI Fiery print controller.

　　Darren Bacon, director of Colourfast Financial, said: 'Colourfast is an established user of digital print systems, but the Bizhub C8000 takes digital technology to whole new level.

　　The output has the matt finish that is really comparable to litho production, with an excellent colour gamut that is consistent over long print runs.

　　The service and account management we receive from Konica Minolta has been excellent.

　　For the Anton Group, of which Colourfast is a member and where the Bizhub C8000 is to be located, John Knight, the group's chief executive, said: 'We believe digital print has a wonderful future ahead of it and I am looking forward to being part of that.

　　The Konica Minolta technology was the obvious choice and the company is the perfect partner to fulfil our requirements.

　　Konica Minolta's graphic arts product manager, Pauline Brooks, said: 'Colourfast's outstanding reputation for print quality and innovation means that they only select the best of breed from the market.

　　The fact that Colourfast has agreed to offer its Konica Minolta installation as a reference site for our marketing is a terrific endorsement of the quality and reliability of our production print range.

　　Colourfast has benefited from our approach to customer proximity, a key factor in providing outstanding services.

　　Through that policy we understand what customers want and need from production class systems.
