For a team that copies, prints and scans in colour, and sometimes reaches for A3, here is a machine worth weighing up. The Konica Minolta bizhub C458 is one such machine: an A3 colour photocopier putting out 45 pages a minute. You can have it renewed, close to new; refurbished, the grade most customers choose; or used, for the lowest outlay. Whichever it is, the page count comes in writing first.
Maker's own photoOf the speeds in Konica Minolta's bizhub C458 to C658 range, the bizhub C458 is the one that does 45 pages a minute. Its stablemates, each with its pages a minute: bizhub C558 (55) and bizhub C658 (65). Useful to know: it reads both sides of a double sided original in one pass, at as many as 120 images a minute, has room for 1,150 sheets (or 6,650 with extra paper options) and copes with card stock to 300 gsm. In Konica Minolta's range it has given way to the bizhub C450i.
A3 colour from Konica Minolta at 45 pages a minute, renewed, refurbished or used.
As published by the maker. Each one is checked over, and you see its page count before you commit.
As a rough guide, it is sized for a workplace where fifteen to thirty people share one machine. Konica Minolta's guide is to keep it under 30,000 pages a month. For more people on the one machine, look at the bizhub C558, the next step up at 55 pages a minute.
Secondhand, the bizhub C458 comes in whichever grade suits your budget: renewed, refurbished or used. We check each one and give you its page count in writing. Rental or finance terms stretch to 60 months where the machine's age allows, and buying outright is always an option. The price covers delivery, setup on your network, scanning setup and a run through for your team.
A secondhand machine on our service agreement has the same replacement warranty as a new one: if it fails, we replace it, for the full term. Approved rentals on the selected machines that qualify are priced from $15 a week plus GST.
Every one has a page of the maker's specifications. Ask about any and we will check what is available.
Describe the work the machine has to do, or name the model you want. We will come back with two or three that suit, each priced in writing, and the decision stays with you.

Keen on the Konica Minolta bizhub C458?
Tell us a little about your business. The reply, in writing, says if one is on hand, how many pages it has printed and what it costs. Every Gold Coast enquiry gets an answer the same business day it arrives.
Any machine we look after on a service agreement comes under our replacement warranty, whatever its age and however you paid for it. Rented, leased, financed or bought outright, new or secondhand: if it fails, we replace it. Cover runs for the whole term of the agreement, through to its final month.
The maker's warranty on a new copier normally lasts 12 months and takes in the hardware; consumables are not part of it. Past that first year, your protection comes from the service agreement. Every detail of the replacement warranty is set down in your agreement.
No. Its replacement from Konica Minolta is the bizhub C450i, so secondhand is now the way to get one, and every one we sell, we can service.
Every machine is different, so you get its exact page count in writing before you buy. That number says far more about wear than the year it was built.
Konica Minolta recommends keeping it within 30,000 pages a month; the rated ceiling is 150,000 in a single month.
Both come from the same family. The bizhub C458 prints 45 pages a minute, while the bizhub C558 prints 55, so the real question is how many people will share the machine. Give us that number and we will point you to one.
