Why Choose the Bizhub PRESS C1060?
Offset-Rivaling Image Quality
The C1060 utilizes the SEAD IV processing system, which stabilizes color density and image positioning in real-time. Combined with the 8-bit rendering and 1,200 dpi resolution, this press produces smooth gradations and sharp text that challenge the output of traditional offset presses, making it perfect for premium brochures and marketing collateral.
+1
Heavy-Duty Media Versatility
Unlike standard office printers, the C1060 is designed to handle thick, coated stocks up to 300 gsm in both simplex and duplex modes. It accommodates oversized media up to 13” x 19.2”, allowing for the production of SRA3 posters and proofs with crop marks and color bars intact.
+1
Advanced Finishing Ecosystem
This press is a complete production line. It can be equipped with modular finishing units for 100-sheet stapling, GBC punching, ring binding, and the creation of 200-page saddle-stitched booklets or even 600-page perfect-bound books—all processed automatically in-line.
Reliability for High-Volume Shifts
With a maximum monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages, the C1060 is built for continuous operation. Its rugged construction and long-life parts ensure that Kenyan print shops can maintain peak uptime during high-demand periods, such as election seasons or educational publishing cycles.
Intelligent Color Management
Users have a choice of industry-leading controllers, including Fiery and Creo. These systems provide advanced color calibration, profiling, and variable data printing (VDP) tools, allowing print providers to handle personalized direct mail and complex color-matching tasks with ease.
Perfect For
Commercial printers, advertising agencies, large-scale educational institutions, and internal corporate print rooms in Kenya that require high-speed production, professional-grade color, and extensive finishing options.
Tailored to Your Needs
The bizhub PRESS C1060 is highly modular. You can start with a basic configuration and scale up with air-suction paper feed units (to prevent jams on glossy stock) or high-capacity stackers that hold up to 5,000 sheets for unattended long press runs. This flexibility ensures the machine scales exactly as your print volume grows.
Designed For
The bizhub PRESS C1060 is the commercial heartbeat of Kenya’s digital print industry. It is designed for the fast-paced print shops on River Road that need to churn out thousands of vibrant flyers and brochures daily, and for the high-end design houses in Westlands requiring pinpoint color accuracy for SRA3 proofs. It thrives in environments where "good enough" isn't acceptable and where deadlines are measured in hours, not days. By offering industrial-grade endurance and professional-level finesse, the C1060 empowers Kenyan entrepreneurs to compete at an international standard, delivering high-impact print products that capture every detail of the client’s vision.
