Product image coming soon

The 551i is built for offices that print a lot and need it to look good. 55 pages per minute, 280 ipm duplex scanning, and colour output that's good enough to bring outsourced print jobs in-house. Full finishing options let you produce stapled, folded and booklet documents without leaving the office. Same Konica Minolta reliability as the rest of the range. If you're currently sending print jobs to an external printer, this machine often pays for itself within months.
