Thank you very much!

As far as I know, all info on the 80 is under NDA so, you'll probably have to wait a few more months for hard facts.

Ifelton is correct....still being tweeked at this time and likely nothing out until sometime next year. Maybe at Drupa?

Hopefully KM will learn from everyone's mistake and not rush it out without extreme testing. Canon's 3 beta testers were laughable with their "Flagship" 7000VP. The real beta testers were the first unlucky folks that laid down the cash.

Konica Minolta is keeping everyone out of the know, so to speak, with respect to the C8000. As an employee, all I know about it is that its coming

That being said, I am looking forward to hearing about it as time progresses.

According to Olaf Lorenz, KMBS Europe GmbH, new serie to be demostrated at IPEX 2010, totally new product, not development of 6501, will be competitor to XEROX 7000-8000, Ricoh c900, and will seize the market niche between DC8000 and iGen...
