Konica Minolta 8050 Parts & Supplies

The Konica Minolta 8050, also known as the ColorFORCE 8050, was a landmark digital color production system that bridged the gap between high-end office MFPs and production-grade digital presses. Delivering 50 pages per minute in both color and monochrome, it was one of the first systems to utilize Simitri polymerized toner, providing professional-grade image quality with a distinct matte finish. The 8050 was engineered for the graphic arts and print-for-pay markets, offering support for oversized 13" x 19.2" media and full-bleed 11" x 17" printing. With its standard 256MB memory and optional external EFI Fiery controller, the 8050 provides the precision and color management capabilities required for professional color proofing and high-impact marketing production.
