 Greener Toner Leads Market

Konica Minolta South Africa, is committed to greening business and is currently the industry leader, according to Data Supply Inc., with the highest rate of polymerised toner production.

This is a huge leap ahead of the industry average, which is 57.2 percent for colour toners and 13.3 percent for monochrome toners.

Konica Minolta South Africa’s (KMSA’s) digital printing systems, both colour and black & white, in office as well as in production printing, operate with polymerised toner and KMSA are very proud of their achievements in reducing environmental impact throughout their business activities.

The focus on sustainability is not a new one for Konica Minolta and the company is this year celebrating its 10th anniversary of its Simitri toner with biomass, which is the company’s polymerised toner. The toner combines high image quality with reduced impact on the environment through the use of plantbased resources as part of its ingredients.

This is as much an “aging operating system” post as it is an ink & toner post. Trying to stay on top of the “newest” in software is hard enough for individuals and sole proprietors; doing so with 17 employees and as many desktops is infinitely harder. That’s not to mention “big business”, defined as institutions with 10,000 or more PC’s, whose migration to an OS other than XP may never happen.

VeriPic, the SMB on display in Information Week’s article, loaded up on Konica-Minolta Magicolor 2200 Toner Cartridges because buying in large bulk offered the best discount. They did so ostensibly without regard to any particular future need to upgrade their hardware or OS. It’s a choice that has worked out for VeriPic…so far.

Of course, choices like these are affected by countless other factors, including client base and needs, access to capital, network compatibility and even, ahem, factory cleanliness. No two SMB’s are identical nor are their printing or OS needs.

Here at Ink Technologies we recognize that fact and it’s part of the reason we have Konica-Minolta Magicolor 2200 Toner Cartridges, for SMB’s like VeriPic that have to make hard choices like these. Whether your SMB needs to be cutting-edge or whether your model calls for stockpiling ink and toner, we’re here to take care of you.
