Black-and-white Printing Still Strong

And since the speed of the printer largely determines how much work the in-plant can produce, this has become a very important criterion; it's typically the first specification a prospective buyer wants to know.

At Greenville, Texas-based L-3 Communications Integrated Systems, the in-plant uses an assortment of Konica-Minolta black-and-white systems to produce 500,000 impressions per month—two Di850s, a 7085 and a Di650. For Frank Shrode, supervisor of print, repro and microfilm, throughput was a very important consideration when he signed the lease contract with Konica-Minolta.
