bizhub C650/C550 Part of Prestigious Environmental Showcase During G8 Summit
July 10, 2008
Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. recently showcased the bizhub C650 and bizhub C550 and their energy conservation fixing technology at the G8 Summit in Toyako, Hokkaido. The Environmental Showcase took place from July 5—10, 2008 and Konica Minolta's demonstration was held within the International Media Centre.
During this year's summit, world leaders met to discuss the world economy, environmental concerns, African development and other international issues.
The Environmental Showcase was a part of efforts by the Japanese government to exhibit the most cutting-edge environmental technologies during the G8 Summit. Media and press from all over the world had a chance to see Japan's latest environmental technologies.
The bizhub C650/C550, a part of the Environmental Showcase, are award-winning colour office systems that provide workgroups with true black-and-white replacement MFPs—without sacrificing black and white print speed or requiring a premium price. Additionally, the bizhubs feature various energy-saving qualities including Simitri™ HD colour polymerised toner, induction heating fixing technology, reduced power consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. For these energy-saving features, the bizhub C650/C550 were given a highly prestigious energy conservation award from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in March 2008. The award—known officially as the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Director-General's Award—is international validation that Konica Minolta continues to produce MFPs and printers that reduce environmental impact.
