Konica Minolta has updated and rebranded its bizhub Pro and Press lines, which are now known as the Accurio Print and Accurio Press series.
The AccurioPrint C2060L print systems are entry-level production and print room devices, which the company says provides an easy transition into digital printing, with expanded media input and delivery options.
Anthony Lewis, general manager Specialised Print Group, Konica Minolta, says, “These devices are designed for higher-demand digital environments, with robust modular finishing units, outstanding colour and registration stability combined with excellent print quality.
"It has had such a successful soft launch that we are struggling to fill our showrooms, because the customer orders come first. There is only one available in the country, in our Sydney showroom, running flat-out for demonstrations.
“AccurioPro software products help optimise processes and workflows to streamline customer print production. Konica Minolta provides customers with a comprehensive solution portfolio which complements the new AccurioPress C2070 series and supports customers from a single source, with several printer controllers and measurement devices. The AccurioPress C2070 series lets print providers create more business opportunities by handling a wide range of essential digital printing applications, and demonstrates Konica Minolta’s commitment to the success of the commercial printing industry.
“With expanded features and high-level improvements, the new AccurioPress C2070 series is extremely versatile, while providing high-quality print output to meet customers’ expectations for digital print requirements.”
The Accurio systems are equipped with Konica Minolta’s OpenAPI, which the company says provides a seamless interface between Konica Minolta production printing devices and third-party solutions for accounting, authentication, or scan routing, such as Safe Q and Nuance eCopy ShareScan. Internal Web Server enables the user interface to be customised based on operator requirements.
With the company having already rebranded the production printing software as AccurioPro, and Konica Minolta’s first digital inkjet press as AccurioJet KM-1, the AccurioPress and AccurioPrint will be the first production printing hardware in operation under the new name.
Lewis says, “The bizhub brand has been around for a long time. We are releasing a new fleet of technology, and to give consistency across the globe we are changing the brand.
"It is a significant change, not just a dressing, and has a heavier substrate ability, up to 350gsm."
