Light production B&W press rated at 105 ppm with perfect binding and saddle-stitch finishing, for print rooms over 200K pages a month.
Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."
The bizhub PRESS 1052 was Konica's entry into the light-production B&W press market, rated at 105 ppm on A4 (Konica lists 75 ppm in some catalogs based on A3 throughput). It is built for print rooms, in-plant operations, and CRDs running 200,000 to 1,000,000 pages a month. Stock support reaches 350 gsm with the optional perfect binder PB-503 and 200-sheet saddle-stitch finisher SD-506. The IC-308 Fiery controller is the upgrade option for serious color management workflows when the unit is paired with downstream finishing. One regret: this is B&W only despite the 'PRESS' branding suggesting full production color — for color jobs you need a separate PRESS C-series unit, which doubles the floor footprint. Buy this for steady-state mono production, not as a do-everything press.

Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for exact pricing.

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.
The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.
If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
