Konica Minolta New Zealand has announced the AccurioJet 30000, its most innovative digital UV inkjet press to date, available from June 2025. The company says the AccurioJet 30000 will take colour capabilities, production stability, and media handling capabilities to new levels of excellence.
The unveiling of the next-generation digital press from Konica Minolta follows the quality and technology of the successful AccurioJet KM-1e series, which has more than 300 installations across the globe. The company says further developments in the AccurioJet 30000 will maximise value and improve ease of use for customers. It offers a highly stable, colour-accurate digital printing platform with a more advanced inkjet printhead design featuring patented Dot Freeze Technology.
Konica Minolta says the new versatile press offers unlimited creative possibilities, adding that its versatile application possibilities ignite new profitable business opportunities.
It includes proprietary edge processing technology for sharper text quality, true 1200dpi x 1200 dpi resolution, and an exceptionally wide colour gamut for unlimited creative applications. The B2+ large format increases flexibility and productivity.
The AccurioJet 30000 produces up to 3,000 sheets per hour with automatic duplex printing without ink drying delays. It prints on paper thicknesses of 0.06 to 0.6mm on a variety of specialty media. These include heavy textured stock, canvas, metallics, translucent stock, packaging board, and plastics.
