    Konica Minolta Simitri HD Polymerised Toner:
    New version offers image quality and durability that rivals offset printing~ utilises environmentally friendly production process ~
    Staines,
    UK, December  2006 – Konica Minolta Printing Solutions Europe has
    introduced its next-generation polymerised toner, Simitri HD.A pioneer
    in the development of polymerised toner, Konica Minolta revolutionises
    toner technology with the launch of its high definition toner –
    boasting greater versatility, enhanced image output and an
    environmentally friendly production process.

    Brilliant colour in the tiniest detail
    Thanks
    to the fine and uniform shape of its toner particles, Simitri HD can
    print digital images with the finest of gradients, providing
    unsurpassed print quality compared to existing methods using pulverised
    toner. This also means that less toner is needed than before, making
    Simitri HD polymerised toner cost effective. Improved half tones
    provide more naturals prints for documents ranging from photographs to
    illustrations. Combined with the Konica Minolta colour management
    technology, an advanced colour matching system that includes PANTONE®
    tables to give consistent and accurate colour, the new Simitri HD
    polymerised toner offers the highest quality image output.“Konica
    Minolta’s extensive research and development in high definition toner
    and improvements in the capabilities of its polymerised toner,
    strengthens its position as leading toner manufacturer. With the
    introduction of Simitri HD polymerised toner, Konica Minolta has
    brought the quality and versatility of in-house printing to a whole new
    level, which greatly reduces the need for costly outsourced printing.”
    said Hiroyuki Masuda, Manager Product Marketing EMEA. “Due to its
    innovative technology, the quality and durability of documentation
    printed in the office becomes of offset quality. Also, Simitri HD
    polymerised toner supports a wider range of media which gives
    businesses the increased flexibility and cost-effectiveness of printing
    commercial materials on-demand.”

    Print quality that rivals offset printing
    Simitri
    HD provides durable print quality that challenges offset printing.
    Through its unique ability to strengthen the bond of colour pigment
    particles, Simitri HD polymerised toner reduces the effect of chemical
    change and can withstand extended exposure to UV light, which
    dramatically improves fade resistance. A broader colour gamut gives a
    smooth dispersion of colour pigments. This enables a higher
    reproduction quality due to the wider range of colours available.
    Furthermore, Simitri HD polymerised toner provides the additional
    freedom of overprinting on pre-printed documents.Lower temperature
    means less paper jams and energy consumptionCompared to the previous
    version, Simitri HD polymerised toner operates at a much lower
    temperature. This not only saves up to 15% more energy, but it also
    greatly reduces paper curling, a known cause of paper jams.
    Furthermore, it supports a wide variety of media from glossy to thick
    stock.

    Environmental conservation in mind
    Due
    to its technologically advanced manufacturing process, Simitri HD
    polymerised toner emits 40% less CO2, NOx, and SOx than conventional
    pulverised toners. The new Simitri HD polymerised toner cartridges are
    included in the Clean Planet Program (www.cleanplanet.com), the Konica
    Minolta return cartridge recycling program that encourages
    environmental conservation. As a result of the program, 99% of the
    cartridge mass is recycled.Simitri HD polymerised toner will be
    available to use in future Konica Minolta colour laser printers. For
