14 November 2025 Mia Ramsden Business, East Yorkshire, Hull, Konica Minolta, KRLGroup No Comments

As an industry partner, we were deeply sorry to hear that KRL Group Limited (formally Kingston Reprographics Limited) has entered administration. KRL has long been a familiar and respected presence in the region. Incorporated on 11 May 1984, the business built a strong reputation across Hull and East Yorkshire for supplying and servicing print‑management and office‑technology solutions over more than four decades.

HAD-COPY, based in Selby, is now the closest authorised Konica Minolta partner to Hull, and we aim to provide clear, supportive guidance to any organisations currently reviewing how to maintain their Konica Minolta equipment, warranties, and service continuity.

Why is the bizhub C750i the BEST of the best?

13 July 2023 Isabella Turner No Comments

Today’s printers can do a lot more than just print. Most of the printers on the market can copy, scan, and fax as well. Scanning and printing are all natural features in a printer but this printer is better than the rest.

The 10.1-inch impressive colour touch screen means it’s user friendly, due to people now being used to the touch screen qualities in many devices such as their mobile phones that they use in everyday life. As well as that, all the main settings are available at a glance, making copying easier and the overall user experience simpler, allowing it to be used by everyone.

In addition, it also has versatile finishing options ranging from online and offline stapling to punching, letter folding, and booklets of up to 80 pages. This all helps when it comes to improving office productivity and also when it comes to printing professional documents as it keeps them all looking the same and uniform.

A key point to remember about this copier is that it has Konica Minolta’s integrated state-of-the-art technology. This helps reduce environmental impact and saves costs at the same time, causing it to have competitively low power consumption, therefore, making it super sustainable. By this being sustainable it reduces the company’s carbon footprint and makes the business more ethical, making the company more attractive to customers.

It also has a full set of security features provided by bizhub SECURE services, including an antivirus engine to protect your organization from malware infection meaning all your devices can be protected from threats and kept safe.

The productivity and reliability of this high-speed scanning and printing machine combined with powerful finishing functions enables work to be printed to the highest quality but also quickly and efficiently. The high-speed scanning is a great feature to have, especially if you are in a hectic environment where printer usage is high as it saves time and when you could potentially have a queue of work to be printed, it gets the job done in no time at all printing 75 pages per minute.

The most impressive thing I believe to be about this copier is that its mobile connectivity means that you can print anywhere, anytime with Konica Minolta’s innovative mobile technologies. This is a fantastic feature due to it being so user-friendly due to everyone always using their mobile phones these days. It also means that you don’t have to set up another wireless connection to the printer e.g. laptop, or download files, you can just press print and the jobs complete, making it all super simple.
