With bizhub's Auto-Refining Developing System, carrier in the black developing unit is premixed in the toner cartridge and supplied as toner is consumed. Deteriorated carrier is expelled with the toner, reducing overall deterioration in the developing unit. This process helps to maintain stable black & white image quality over the long term. This feature is particularly relevant in offices that have high-volume black & white output.

The small size and consistent shape of Simitri HD toner particles ensure sharp reproduction of text as well as line drawings. Its smooth outer surface provides excellent hold and promises high image quality across a diverse media mix. Furthermore, bizhub uses low-temperature fixing to affix the Simitri HD toner. Using less heat saves energy and effectively reduces paper stress.

Induction Heating (IH) Fixing technology only heats the roller's surface, rather than the entire roller. This reduces power consumption during the fixing process and results in shorter warm-up times. In addition, this feature automatically cuts off residual fixing heat when no print jobs are taking place, further contributing to energy savings.
