Konica Minolta has announced its next generation AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S production presses, which PacPrint visitors will get to see up close from Day One of the Sydney show next month.
Chris O’Hara, national production print manager at Konica Minolta, says, “These innovative presses empower businesses with stunning print quality, exceptional speeds, and unmatched versatility, letting customers unlock more possibilities in digital print with CMYK + white toners.
“The AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S from Konica Minolta deliver exceptional performance, achieving print speeds of up to 140 pages per minute (ppm) and 120 ppm, respectively.
“The new five-colour print models add white as a new colour and let businesses explore new creative avenues, such as eye-catching print effects.
“The AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S feature six cutting-edge Intelligent Media Sensors. For automated print management, these identify paper type, weight, and size instantly for optimal print settings every time without additional operator input.”
The presses support a broad range of media, from 52gsm up to 450gsm paper including envelopes, embossed paper, polyester, and cut-sheet labels, opening doors to diverse applications.
Chris adds that the new CMYK + white toner is high opacity and achieves exceptional coverage in a single pass, making it ideal for premium applications, further expanding offerings for the new models and helping businesses tap into new revenue streams.
Flexibility and smart technology
For larger and more demanding projects, the systems accommodate long sheets up to 1,300mm simplex and 900mm in duplex, providing flexibility to meet customer demands.
Chris says, “Whether it’s for banners, book covers, or specialty items, the AccurioPress C14010s and C12010S let customers rethink possibilities in production printing and explore additional opportunities for business growth.
“Konica Minolta has engineered the AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S for efficiency, streamlining operations with advanced smart innovative technology. These new print solutions help operators to work smarter, reduce manual adjustments for unattended, uninterrupted printing, and deliver flawless print results faster with reduced touchpoints and exciting new colour options with the addition of white in the new high-opacity CMYK + white toner.”
“Features such as the Intelligent Quality Optimiser Unit, IQ-601, including a new inline spectrophotometer for precise colour profile creation, and Intelligent Media Sensors (IM-104 and IM-105) support consistent, high-quality output with minimum user intervention.
“The IM-105 measures the paper size of the substrates and detects even the slightest variations in paper cutting size and, together with the Intelligent Quality Optimiser IQ-601, automatically adjusts image positioning to eliminate front/back alignment errors for professional quality and consistency with every print run.
High volume production
Other key other benefits include automatic print quality adjustments with Automated Quality Adjustments (AQA) and Automatic Inspection Technology (AIT), with an intelligent overall design to maximise press uptime.
Chris says, “The AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S models underpin Konica Minolta’s mission to support the digital transformation of our clients’ companies by sector and industry, predicting potential challenges and creating solutions together. This human-centric partnership approach lets customers streamline their businesses through fewer human touchpoints and higher productivity with tangible benefits including high-quality output with less print waste.
“Konica Minolta is dedicated to fostering creativity and driving digital transformation for its customers. The new five-colour AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S print systems are built on 20 years of expertise, innovation, and leadership in digital printing, all backed by the trusted support Konica Minolta is renowned for.
“New operator assistance tools and fewer touchpoints, enables Konica Minolta customers to optimise workflows and minimize downtime. This empowers greater creativity, helping customers uncover new opportunities and identify profitable revenue streams.”
