The Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C1070 is a high-speed digital color press that sets a new standard for light-to-mid production environments. Building on the robust foundation of the C1060, the C1070 increases velocity to 71 ppm and offers a significantly higher monthly duty cycle to handle the "peak-season" demands of Kenyan commercial printers. By combining Konica Minolta's exclusive Simitri® HDE toner with fourth-generation SEAD IV imaging technology, this press delivers color consistency and fine-detail resolution that rival traditional offset printing, all while maintaining the agility of a digital workflow.

Why Choose the Bizhub PRESS C1070?
Elevated Production Velocity
The C1070 is designed for throughput. With a speed of 71 ppm (A4), it can produce nearly 4,000 pages per hour, ensuring that high-volume orders for brochures, flyers, or manuals are fulfilled rapidly. For Kenyan print providers facing tight turnaround times for corporate events or educational cycles, this extra speed is a critical competitive advantage.
SEAD IV & ITbit Technology
The fourth generation of Screen-Enhancing Active Digital Processing (SEAD IV) utilizes advanced laser exposure controls and ultra-fine Dot Position Control (DPC) to achieve a 3,600 dpi equivalent resolution. Additionally, ITbit technology refines the outlines of characters and reduces jagged edges on half-tone text, ensuring that even the smallest legal fine print remains perfectly legible.
Air-Suction Feeding Technology
For the first time in this series, the C1070 supports the PF-707 Air-Suction Paper Feed Unit. This system uses air to lift and "stick" each sheet to a suction belt, virtually eliminating paper jams and double-feeds—even when running heavy, coated, or high-gloss stocks that typically cause friction in standard friction-fed trays.
Unmatched Media Flexibility
The C1070 handles stocks up to 300 gsm in both simplex and duplex printing without a loss in quality. It also features a specialized fuser unit (EF-103) that supports high-quality envelope printing, allowing Kenyan businesses to expand their service offerings to include customized direct mail and high-end stationery.
Modular "In-Line" Finishing
The press can be configured into a total production factory. Options include a 5,000-sheet large capacity stacker with a rollaway trolley, a perfect binder for books up to 600 pages, and an 80-page booklet maker with trimming and folding capabilities. This automation reduces manual labor and ensures a professional finish every time.
Perfect For
Commercial print shops, regional publishing houses, high-volume corporate CRDs, and digital service bureaus in Kenya that require 70+ ppm speeds and industrial-grade color management.
Tailored to Your Needs
The bizhub PRESS C1070 is built for scalability. You can choose the controller that fits your workflow whether it's the cost-effective internal Konica Minolta IC-602 or the industry-standard external Fiery IC-308 for advanced variable data and color profiling. Its massive 350,000-page duty cycle ensures that the machine remains a reliable asset even under 24/7 operating conditions.
Designed For
The bizhub PRESS C1070 is the heavy-duty champion for Kenya’s premier printing hubs. It is designed for the high-octane commercial printers in Nairobi’s industrial area who need to deliver thousands of high-quality, full-bleed SRA3 posters on demand. It is the perfect engine for the educational publishers in Kiambu who require fast, duplexed course materials with professional saddle-stitching. By offering a blend of industrial speed, air-suction reliability, and offset-level color precision, the C1070 allows Kenyan entrepreneurs to take on larger, more complex contracts with the confidence that their output will exceed international standards.
