1. Image Stability
1. D-max of at least 1.4 for improved maximum density
A. Improved developing unitspecifications
The distance between the drum and thedeveloping sleeve has been reduced toimprove developing
The distance between the blade and thesleeve has been optimized to improvereproduction of image density

2. Improved Continuous High-coverage PrintingUsers can choose from three Modes as below.
3 Selectable Modes
1. None (default)
2. Quality mode
Normal (1/1) operation is resumed
when the image density value ishigher than 1.45
3. Performance mode

1. Image Stability
3. Heat / Humidity SensorsWith the bizhub PRO 920, conditions where only checked early in the morning and were notchanged all day long. However, the bizhub PRO 950 checks the surrounding temperature
and humidity every 20 minutes and adjusts accordingly. This real-time monitoring capability
is especially important in winter when room temperature can rise dramatically when the
heater is turned on.
Heat / Humidity Sensor
User Benefit
Real-time response to changes intemperature and humidityprevents curling
The heat of the fusing roller isconsistent, leading to more stablefusing. This, in turn, leads to morestable image density

A collection shaft on lower level of the developing unit has been added
1. Image Stability
4. Improved Developing Unit Architecture
The bizhub PRO 950 features a superior developing unit to better prevent toner from spilling.
Although the bizhub PRO 920 also prevented toner spillage on the PET sheet, it wasnt
effective when a certain amount was exceeded. However, the with the bizhub PRO 950, toner
is collected on the lower level of the developing unit with the collection shaft and reinserted
into the developing unit.

6. Improved Image Quality during Low Coverage PrintingThe RC-501 Recycle Cut Kit prevents developer degradation when printing documents
with low coverage.
1. Image Stability
Note: To maximize image quality, BT strongly
recommends using the RC-501 for users who
frequently print documents with coverage of
5% or less.

2. Improved Productivity
(PPM)
1. Faster All Around PerformanceIn addition to the print speed being increased from 92ppm to 95ppm, the RIP speedhas also increased, enabling faster processing of jobs from various applications
(refer to the chart below). The change in RIP speed is due to an upgraded CPU.
File 1Pages: 148
Avg. data size of pages: 64KBStandard document (with text / images / charts)
File 2Pages: 20
Avg. data size of pages: 435KBDocument with much image data

3. Improved Image Quality
1. Screen Pattern Selection (PS Plug-in Driver Function)In addition to the standard Adobe screen from previous models, users can also select from
three new screens (Photo, Text and Text/Photo) depending on the type of document they are
printing, ensuring ideal image quality and high productivity for every run.
Screen type Line count / notes
Photo 85lpi (reduces tone-jump in the highlighted areas,
creating smooth gradations)Text / Photo
(default)
106lpi (this mode offers balance between
reproducing gradations and text)
Text 141lpi (reduces fluctuation in text with mid-range
gradations to reproduce text with improved
visibility)
Dot screen
Line Count, Angle, and Form settings may be
selected
(currently available PS screen)
User Benefits
Selectable screen modes ensure ideal imagequality for any document type

3. Improved Image Quality
2A. Use CIE Color (PS Plug-in Driver Function)By default, CMYK, RGB or other color data is sent to print as one set of data. However, when
the Use CIE Color button is selected in the PS Plug-in Driver, color data is separated,
providing finer, more precise gradations. This feature can be turned on and off by job.

3. Improved Image Quality
3A. Tone Curve Utility (PS Plug-in Driver Function)This drag-and-drop tone curve utility makes it easy to adjust density, contrast and brightness in images
before printing. Users can also register up to 10 tone curves to be used with multiple jobs without having to
input settings again. There are also 10 pre-set tone curve patterns for a total of 20 ready-to-use tone curve
settings. Tone curves can be selected by job from the PS Plug-in Driver. One benefit of the tone curve utility
is the ability to keep text at 100% density while lowering the overall density of other elements. A total of 10
test charts in PS or PDF format can be registered and previewed while making tone curve adjustments.
User Benefits
Density, contrast and brightnesscan be easily adjusted beforeprinting images
10 user-defined tone curvesettings can be registered andreused
Text can be kept at 100% density,even when lowering the densityof other elements

modified to make tab settings easy. The insertion position of the 2 tab types can be visually
confirmed from the tab window, allowing the layout and character settings to be set. From the
tab settings window, paper settings, tab sizes and character size / font can be set. The width of
the selected tab can also be adjusted.
Two tab types are displayedfor easy adjustment.
