Konica Minolta bizhub devices now come cloud-ready with native CloudPrint included, free for 12 months^

Sydney, Australia, 13 May 2025 

Konica Minolta Australia is setting a new industry standard by delivering native cloud print capabilities built directly into every eligible* bizhub multifunction printer and printer, with 12 months of complimentary access included^. CloudPrint requires no additional hardware or software, providing secure, cloud-based printing functionality from day one. 

With CloudPrint preloaded and fully integrated into each device, Konica Minolta is removing traditional print barriers and redefining modern print infrastructure. Businesses can now activate secure, serverless printing straight out of the box. This shift streamlines operations and accelerates digital transformation. 

Paul Colarelli, product marketing manager, Konica Minolta Australia, said, “This isn’t just another add-on. We’ve built cloud printing right into the device. It’s turnkey, seamless, and free for the first 12 months because we believe secure cloud print should be the standard, not the exception.” 

Core capabilities include: 

• Built-in CloudPrint: native Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) functionality inside every supported Konica Minolta device. 

• 12 months included^: no added cost. 

• Zero additional hardware: no servers, connectors, or print management boxes. 

• Print server removed: reduces the costs and complexity of on-premises print servers. 

• Plug-and-play simplicity: print directly from any PC or Mac with minimal setup.  

This secure, scalable, cloud print platform simplifies deployment and accelerates adoption. Hosted locally on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Australia, CloudPrint meets leading security standards, including SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, giving businesses peace of mind with enterprise-grade protection. 

Key business benefits include: 

• Cost savings: minimise printer management overheads with centralised, cloud-based control. 

• Fast rollout: deploy in minutes instead of weeks, accelerating time to value. 

• Lean IT operations: reduce IT workload by eliminating infrastructure maintenance, letting teams focus on innovation. 

Konica Minolta CloudPrint delivers native, next-generation print capabilities without the complexity, whether for a small business or a growing small to medium-sized business expanding its operations. This is printing redefined: secure, simple, and ready to use from day one.
