An exclusive ASIC layout that offers full digital control over imaging processes.
IT bit Technology
Four features to improve imaging accuracy: Laser Exposure Control, Dot Position Control, Multi-bit Screen and Text Enhancement.
CRS Technology
A system that uses feedback from the engine to make adjustments to imaging components.
CRS (Colour Retention and Stability) Technology
An exclusive technology that continuously monitors the status of the main body, receiving feedback about changes in the print environment and the engine to make adjustments necessary to maintain high print quality.
HI-PER ASIC
An exclusive ASIC layout streamlines the imaging process from the optical system to the writing system. Each imaging step is fully controlled digitally to enable 600dpi x 8bit colour output at 65ppm in extremely high image quality.
HI-PER ASIC
Gradations so fine, colours so vivid, it’s like having an offset press on your production floor.

Newly Engineered Simitri HD Polymerised Toner
The particles in Simitri HD toner are extremely small and consistent in shape, ensuring improved colour photo and illustration quality and clear reproduction of text and line drawings. The smooth outer surface and evenly dispersed wax and colour pigment offer a great hold and a consistent finish for high image quality across diverse media.

Oil-less Fusing System
A special compound fusing process delivers high-quality, low-gloss output that allows you to easily write with a pen on virtually any document.
Superior Colour Reproduction Range
Simitri HD toner provides a wider reproduction range across the entire colour spectrum. Most notably, there is visible saturation between yellow and red.
High Durability
New Simitri HD toner offers resistance to fading comparable to offset ink and excellent resistance to peeling compared to other MFPs. Documents can be stored for long periods of time and still retain the same high image quality as the day they were printed.
Detailed Reproduction of Fine Lines
Halftones and fine characters are reproduced with greater precision than conventional pulverised toner. This gives documents a professional-looking clarity and refinement.

Low Temperature Fixing Reduces Paper Stress
The bizhub PRO C6501 affixes Simitri HD toner using less heat energy than previous models. By reducing excess heat, this fixing process minimises paper stress.

1,800 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi resolution
Thanks to exclusive smoothing technology, documents can be output at a stunning 1,800 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi resolution.
Text Enhancement
During printing, text data is isolated from image data and processed to best enhance reproduction. Detailed outlines are precisely defined, while reversed text and fine text are optimised to clearly stand out.
Detailed Reproduction of Small Characters
A newly developed technology controls the screen by adjusting exposure time of the engine’s lasers. Even text at small point sizes are not only legible, but very clear.
Stable Image Quality and Colour Alignment
The transfer belt features an optical sensor to monitor the density of toner and provide instructions such as adjusting laser strength and screen gradation to maintain consistency
colour registration mark on the transfer belt, allowing for automatic correction of misalignment between colours. Doing so helps to improve the precision of colour output.
IT bit (Image Tag bit) Technology
A collection of four technologies, (1) laser
bit screening that performs 4-bit processing in the engine to express fine gradations, and
and precise coverage, even during long runs. At the same time, optical sensors monitor the
exposure with nanosecond pulse control for precise dot placement of each colour, (2) dot position control to write in fine resolution (1/256 of total dot width) for detailed edges of fine dot width) for detailed edges of fine lines and text that runs together smoothly, (3) multi-
