Rhodes State College added Konica Minolta color printers, boosted business

By Bob Neubauer

Adding color printing capabilities can bring a big boost in business for an in-plant. That’s what happened at Rhodes State College, in Lima, Ohio recently. Until last fall, the three-employee in-plant printed only black-and-white jobs. All color printing was outsourced.

But new manager Chuck Brantley saw that the in-plant was missing a big opportunity here. So with the full support of his college president, he swapped his shop’s Xerox Nuvera for a new Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C65hc color printer and a 105-ppm Konica Minolta bizhub PRO 1050 monochrome printer. Brantley was able to negotiate lease payments so the in-plant is paying almost exactly what it was paying for just the Nuvera. Since then, everything has changed at the in-plant.
