1. Image Stability

1. D-max of at least 1.4 for improved maximum density

A. Improved developing unitspecifications

The distance between the drum and thedeveloping sleeve has been reduced toimprove developing

The distance between the blade and thesleeve has been optimized to improvereproduction of image density

B. Fusing roller adjustment(service parts)

The soft roller stabilizes high- and medium-density images more easily

The hard roller substantially improvesuneven brightness and provides a glossy-like finish

User Benefit D-max has been

increased to 1.4 or over,

making changes indensity less noticeable

1. Image Stability

2. Improved Continuous High-coverage PrintingUsers can choose from three Modes as below.

3 Selectable Modes

1. None (default)

2. Quality mode

Normal (1/1) operation is resumed

when the image density value ishigher than 1.45

3. Performance mode

Normal (1/1) operation is resumedwhen the image density value ishigher than 1.40

User Benefits

Users can choose speed or imagequality as the top priority


10/43

1. Image Stability

3. Heat / Humidity SensorsWith the bizhub PRO 920, conditions where only checked early in the morning and were notchanged all day long. However, the bizhub PRO 950 checks the surrounding temperature

and humidity every 20 minutes and adjusts accordingly. This real-time monitoring capability

is especially important in winter when room temperature can rise dramatically when the

heater is turned on.

Heat / Humidity Sensor

User Benefit

Real-time response to changes intemperature and humidityprevents curling

The heat of the fusing roller isconsistent, leading to more stablefusing. This, in turn, leads to morestable image density


11/43

A collection shaft on lower level of the developing unit has been added

1. Image Stability

4. Improved Developing Unit Architecture

The bizhub PRO 950 features a superior developing unit to better prevent toner from spilling.

Although the bizhub PRO 920 also prevented toner spillage on the PET sheet, it wasnt

effective when a certain amount was exceeded. However, the with the bizhub PRO 950, toner

is collected on the lower level of the developing unit with the collection shaft and reinserted

into the developing unit.

5. Improved Reverse-side TransferThe standard-equipped assist PET allows improved reverse-side copying by improvingthe way paper fixes to the drum, enabling better handling for more accurate transfer.

6. Improved Image Quality during Low Coverage PrintingThe RC-501 Recycle Cut Kit prevents developer degradation when printing documents

with low coverage.

1. Image Stability

Note: To maximize image quality, BT strongly

recommends using the RC-501 for users who

frequently print documents with coverage of

5% or less.

2. Improved Productivity

(PPM)

1. Faster All Around PerformanceIn addition to the print speed being increased from 92ppm to 95ppm, the RIP speedhas also increased, enabling faster processing of jobs from various applications

(refer to the chart below). The change in RIP speed is due to an upgraded CPU.

File 1Pages: 148

Avg. data size of pages: 64KBStandard document (with text / images / charts)

File 2Pages: 20

Avg. data size of pages: 435KBDocument with much image data

File 3Pages: 32

Avg. data size of pages: 1.4MBDocument with much special color data

(PANTONE 541, etc.)

3. Improved Image Quality

1. Screen Pattern Selection (PS Plug-in Driver Function)In addition to the standard Adobe screen from previous models, users can also select from

three new screens (Photo, Text and Text/Photo) depending on the type of document they are

printing, ensuring ideal image quality and high productivity for every run.

Screen type Line count / notes

Photo 85lpi (reduces tone-jump in the highlighted areas,

creating smooth gradations)Text / Photo

(default)

106lpi (this mode offers balance between

reproducing gradations and text)

Text 141lpi (reduces fluctuation in text with mid-range

gradations to reproduce text with improved

visibility)

Dot screen

Line Count, Angle, and Form settings may be

selected

(currently available PS screen)

User Benefits

Selectable screen modes ensure ideal imagequality for any document type


16/43


2A. Use CIE Color (PS Plug-in Driver Function)By default, CMYK, RGB or other color data is sent to print as one set of data. However, when

the Use CIE Color button is selected in the PS Plug-in Driver, color data is separated,

providing finer, more precise gradations. This feature can be turned on and off by job.

Use CIE

ColorProperties

Off Default

On Priority on image quality (speed is

reduced)

Performs high-precision color

conversion based on CIE,

improving the reproduction of

gradations in photographic images.

User Benefits

Finer gradations for image data with manyshadows, color/density changes, etc.


17/43


2A. Use CIE Color (PS Plug-in Driver Function) Below are examples of the benefits of using CIE color.

There are muddled colorsand the gradations in theshadow area dont appear.

colors are not muddled andgradations are smooth.

However, speed is reducedby 10% - 20%.


18/43


3A. Tone Curve Utility (PS Plug-in Driver Function)This drag-and-drop tone curve utility makes it easy to adjust density, contrast and brightness in images

before printing. Users can also register up to 10 tone curves to be used with multiple jobs without having to

input settings again. There are also 10 pre-set tone curve patterns for a total of 20 ready-to-use tone curve

settings. Tone curves can be selected by job from the PS Plug-in Driver. One benefit of the tone curve utility

is the ability to keep text at 100% density while lowering the overall density of other elements. A total of 10

test charts in PS or PDF format can be registered and previewed while making tone curve adjustments.

User Benefits

Density, contrast and brightnesscan be easily adjusted beforeprinting images

10 user-defined tone curvesettings can be registered andreused

Text can be kept at 100% density,even when lowering the densityof other elements


19/43


3A. Tone Curve Utility (PS Plug-in Driver Function)Example of tone curve use: lower maximum density and contrast for a softer, European

style.

Printed using default tone curveMaximumdensity:

90%

Even when reducing the maximum density, textremains at 100% density without being effected.

4. Increased Media Compatibility

4. Paper ThicknessA wider range of media compatibility (40 300g/m2) lets print shops deliver

greater service to customers with diverse needs.

6. New PS Plug-in Driver Functions

1. Tab BankOn the bizhub PRO 920, it was only possible to make settings on 1 type of tab, but the bizhubPRO 950 features 2 types whose settings can be adjusted. The user interface has also been

modified to make tab settings easy. The insertion position of the 2 tab types can be visually

confirmed from the tab window, allowing the layout and character settings to be set. From the

tab settings window, paper settings, tab sizes and character size / font can be set. The width of

the selected tab can also be adjusted.

Two tab types are displayedfor easy adjustment.

The appearance of eachtab can be previewed

before selecting.User Benefits

2. Paper Name

By registering paper information on the main unit, it can be retrieved by the driver tobe viewed as a list. With the bizhub PRO 920, it was necessary to select the tray to

print from, but with the bizhub PRO 950, it is possible to select the registered paper

name directly without having to specify tray. It is also possible view settings by

moving the cursor over paper names in the finishing window.
