This new agreement adds an important high-volume capability to the Konica Minolta range of colour digital solutions, helping to further grow their customer base.

Hiro Kaji, Managing Director Konica Minolta Business Solutions Australia said “Konica Minolta’s driving force is our focus on partnership.

Konica Minolta is a very good fit for NEXPRESS Press technology within their product range. We look forward to increasing our footprint in the Australian digital print market and increasing opportunities for our customers.”
