uper high quality image

The latest technology supports the world's highest class image quality prints with 400 x 800 dpi.

Thanks to our newly designed S. E. A. D. exposure engine,

the new systems deliver world's highest class image quality with 400 x 800 dpi resolution.

Faster printing and higher image quality

from high-resolution film scanner

The S.E.A.D. (Solid state Electro-optic shutter Array Device)

engine is a 10-inch width fixed scanning microshutter array
exposure device, developed by Konica Minolta especially for ultrahigh resolution minilabs. Through proprietary ultra-high-precision
fabrication technology, specially constituted fine ceramics are
arranged to deliver a resolution of 400 dpi in the width direction.
At the same time, nanosecond-level electronic control enables a
world class 800 dpi in the transport direction. The 3-color LEDs
employed as the light source are low in power consumption and
extremely stable. The exposure system employs Konica Minoltas
advanced optical technology to ensure that color paper is
exposed evenly across the full width of wide prints. Since RGB
exposure is carried out by solid-state devices, pixel color
divergence is extremely low (1/3 vs. preceding technology).

The film scanner features high-performance 3 line color CCDs

rated at a maximum of 5400 pixels. Film images are input at a
maximum resolution of 4.08 megapixels. The resolution of 5400
pixels is fully sufficient to read all of the information recorded on
the film. The original image is completely captured in all of its true
beauty and detail. In addition to printing at maximum size of the
R2, the quality of scanned images is high enough to allow
transfer via an external network for print at A1 poster size on an
ink-jet printer. To achieve 5400 pixels of resolution, Konica
Minoltas advanced optical technology was used to develop a
special zoom lens system. Placing the highest emphasis on
faithful reproduction of the film image, an original optical system
was developed to preserve the full impact of the high resolution.
A rich range of gradations (65636 gradations) is achieved through
16-bit input of each of the RGB colors. Images are clear, smooth,
and fully expressed even in delicate shadowed sections.
The 3-color LEDs in the light
source are the result of new
optical design technology,
featuring high luminescence and
long life. High precision
scanning is assured by the latest
optical path design technology
and nanosecond precision in
film transport control.

One-dot image

The same beam shape for B,G,R allows the unified Y,M,C dye cloud.

Preceding technology

S.E.A.D.

The absence of rotating parts characteristic of solid-state

devices also gives S.E.A.D. engine high durability and
resistance to vibration (200% higher, vs. preceding
technology). It is an extremely reliable exposure engine,
assuring stable print production over extended use.
In addition to featuring resolution which is more than
sufficient for output of high-end digital camera and
scanner images, the engine is extremely expressive,
especially when used in the optimum combination with
Konica Minolta Centuria for Digital paper to enable the full
range of 1024 gradations in each of the RGB color scales.
While delivering rich
D - max, the engine
produces sharp, detailed,
and stain-free image
quality, with pure white
and vivid blacks to lend
intensity to the image.
Subtle nuances and
delicate tones are
reproduced at the
worlds highest level of
expressiveness.

The system features a 15-inch LCD monitor, making it easy on
the eyes even over prolonged use. The main menu provides a
button for every operation needed to make normal prints from
negatives or digital cameras. Even novice operators can start
making input media prints from their very first day. Value-added
prints like ID photos and frame photos are just as simple,
requiring nothing more than a single click of an on-screen button.

The R2 SUPER Series uses the

environmentally friendly ECOJET
system. Capsule cartridges allow
chemicals to be replenished in one
simple step. No-mixing, no-touch
chemicals mean that the shop is
always safe and clean.

ECOJET capsule type chemicals

High-speed digital camera prints.

Images load and display faster.

No messy chemical solutions to stain clothes or the shop

during replenishment. Just add water once a day. Thanks to
the safe cartridge-type design, chemicals never touch the
hands directly. The cartridges also dramatically reduce
waste. They can be ordered in kit units to simplify
stock management. Kit type liquid
chemicals (22P-LR) low replenishment,
environmentally friendly, and easy
mixing are also available.

Advanced scanning and image processing technology in the

image controller allows digital camera images to load and
display faster, for stress-free operation. Moreover, ultra-high
quality is assured by Konica Minoltas A.I.E. (Auto Imaging
Enhance) and digital camera one-channel technology.

Hyper CD-R Burning Kit Type2
Available for an affordable investment, the Hyper
CD-R Burning Kit consists of a PC and highspeed CD-R burning software designed
especially for the R Series. It allows CD-R burning
work to be completely separated from the minilab. CD-Rs
can be burned at high speed while the main unit is scanning
film, which reduces waiting time and stress. For example,
the R2 SUPER Series main unit is capable of burning 12
CD-R discs per hour from 36-exposure film. The R2 SUPER
Series + Hyper CD-R can burn 28 CD-R discs per hour.
