The highlight by Konica Minolta at the showcase is the AccurioLabel 400, an advanced digital label press featuring CMYK + white toner capabilities, print speeds of up to 39.9-m/min, and seamless integration with conventional print workflows. In addition, the company will present automated digital die-cutting and workflow solutions to illustrate just how easy hybrid printing systems are to work with.

Katsuhisa Asari, managing director at Konica Minolta Business Solution India, said, “At Labelexpo 2024, we gear up to present our innovative label printing technologies that are productivity partners as well as disruption insulators. Our solutions enable businesses to produce high-quality labels efficiently while adapting to the fast-paced nature of consumer preferences. Our products sit at the nexus of sustainable and cutting-edge digital transformation, allowing for personalised label production that meets diverse market demands.”
 
Konica Minolta is dedicated to meeting the dynamic needs of small and medium businesses (SMBs) and industrial clients with its versatile solutions, designed to efficiently manage both short-run productions and high-volume jobs.
 
A highlight of the expo is the AccurioLabel 400, which is engineered to deliver exceptional print quality with remarkable colour accuracy. Its white toner option unlocks new opportunities for luxury packaging, enhancing the depth and visual appeal of labels. Complementing this, the AccurioLabel 230 provides enhanced job flexibility, optimised for a diverse range of substrates, including synthetic films and textured papers.
 
Both models are powered by AccurioPro Flux software, an advanced workflow solution that streamlines operations by automating repetitive tasks, thereby reducing production time and ensuring consistent print quality. Konica Minolta’s participation at Labelexpo reflects its commitment to sustainability. The company has implemented initiatives such as toner recycling programs, energy-efficient technologies, and partnerships promoting eco-friendly practices in print production. In addition to green printing practices, the AccurioLabel systems enable converters to reduce material waste through precise ink and media usage.

While flexo printing continues to dominate large-scale production, the growing demand for variable data printing (VDP) has driven the adoption of hybrid printing solutions. Konica Minolta’s digital presses integrate smoothly with conventional systems, enabling printers to manage a range of projects from mass-market jobs to highly personalised labels.
