Konica Minolta’s authority as the number one printing solution for the creative design industry has yet again been confirmed, by receiving the ‘Best Buy’ accolade from digital creative title Digital Arts for the magicolor 8650DN. This follows Konica Minolta’s prestigious win in the Best Productivity Hardware category earlier this month at the Macworld Awards, where they were nominated alongside OKI, Brother, Lexmark and Xerox.

Since its launch in January 2008, sales have soared reaching 164% against the quarterly target.

Digital Arts Deputy Editor, Neil Bennett has described the magicolor 8650DN as “A colour laser printer with exceptionally high-grade output that would make an ideal proofer…the magicolor 8650DN is a top-notch printer for design studios.”

Mark Lloyd, IT Channel Director for Konica Minolta Business Solutions recently commented on the printer’s influence within the creative design industry, “Konica Minolta Business Solutions are a class above in the A3 market. Our A3 printers are becoming an essential product in the creative design business.”
