Konica Minolta launches ‘simply efficient’ Accurio Press

The Accurio Press Series C6100/C6085 is a comprehensive and fully modular line of digital printing technologies and solutions, digital press suites, software and cloud based tool for integrating, managing and executing a seamless production colour workflow. The Accurio Press series supports business growth by expanding its printing services, automating efficiency, raising output quality and lowering costs.

Yoshinori Koide, director, Konica Minolta India, said: “Customers, including graphic communication providers, CRDs and print service provider’s operations will all benefit from these simply efficient presses. This new generation of true production systems has been designed to ensure improved uptime and deliver even higher quality printed materials with greater reliability and stability.”

He said with the Integrated Quality Optimiser Unit, printers will be overcome some of the biggest pain points in digital print production, such as time-consuming front to back registration, extensive colour set-up and complex paper set-up operations.

Koide added: “These presses will underpin Konica Minolta’s market-leading reputation for productivity, reliability and quality. We are confident that Accurio Press shall meet and exceed the advanced requirements of print production at the highest levels, as well as offering digital image quality on par with offset printing.”

Automated features include automated colour adjustment, skill-less operation, constant control of gradation and front-to-back registration. Enhanced functions include stabilised paper feeding, support a wide range of paper weights from 52gsm to 400gsm, plus embossed paper, encouraging broader production possibilities. Other enhancements include low-cost envelope printing, via a dedicated fusing unit – all of these features targeted at growing printers’ business.

Reliability and stability is further enabled by Simitri HD E toner for higher offset-like natural textures while lower temperature fusing reduces damage to paper resulting in higher quality finishes and improved environmental performance.

“The new series also delivers a top-class monthly duty cycle while parts have a long life,” Koide said. “Collectively, all these innovations have been combined into our fastest and most efficient and automated press yet. The third generation of the machine has been launched to help operations enhance their bottom-line with a production press that offers maximum uptime and job flexibility for more profit in the print room.”
