When a burst pipe soaked its color printer, Allegheny College Printing Services added two Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C6000 digital color printers, and a Konica Minolta bizhub PRO 951

"We've got to have two machines," he explains. "We were able to get the two of them cheaper than one of the 8000s, and actually as cheap as the 500 and the 650 Ikon." Printing Service signed a four-year lease on the equipment.

Since adding the printers, the in-plant has been doing a lot more color work, Pritchard says—an average of 65,000 color impressions per month. This work includes color course packs, post cards, brochures, reports and posters for campus events. He's happy with the faster turnaround time the in-plant is now able to provide.
