Advantage – bizhub PRO C6501
- Can the bizhub PRO C65hc print truer cyan, truer magenta and mixed colours better than the bizhub PRO C6501? No, it can not, the bizhub PRO C6501 prints them, and bizhub PRO C65hc does not match a press hue.
- Can the bizhub PRO C65hc show better details in the shadow areas of photographic images? No, it can not; the bizhub PRO C6501 prints shadows and the details in shadows better.
- If I wanted to simulate CMYK colour printing on a press, which machine is better? The bizhub PRO C6501 offers a truer representation of the simulated colours to a printing press as long as some Pantone and other specialty (vibrant) colours are not used.
- If my customer works using only CMYK files, is the bizhub PRO C65hc better? No, it is not, the bizhub PRO C6501
is better because this customer has already compensated for the problems between RGB and CMYK and is most likely printing these files on a press that uses truer cyan and magenta inks.
Advantage – bizhub PRO C65hc
- Does the bizhub PRO C65hc print all photographic images better than the bizhub PRO C6501? In most situations yes, because the bizhub PRO C65hc is able to offer more or better shading for the lighter colours in the image. Additionally, the bizhub PRO C65hc will actually print colours in photographs that are not even available on the bizhub PRO C6501. The bizhub PRO C6501 may do better for darker images with shadows that require details.
- Does the bizhub PRO C65hc print better Pantone simulations? Absolutely, approximately 200 more Pantone
colours are significantly visually closer than any toner based device and many more are measurably better.
- Does the bizhub PRO C65hc print custom colours better than the bizhub PRO C6501? Yes, the C65hc can
produce colours that have never been seen on a toner based device before. This may be advantageous to some customers. Always use customer print samples.
- Does the bizhub PRO C65hc print pastel (light and vibrant) colours better than the bizhub PRO C6501? Yes it does.
- My customer works in RGB and selects their colours based on what they see on the screen. Which machine is
better? The bizhub PRO C65hc would be a better fit for this environment and should be used only as a final output device. This customer needs to understand that they would not receive the same colours they printed on their
bizhub PRO C65hc elsewhere, but remember not all RGB colours are reproducible even with the bizhub PRO C65hc.
