Konica Minolta has announced its next-generation AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S production presses, with the new machines officially launching in Australia on the first day of PacPrint.
The AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S from Konica Minolta aim to 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 Intelligent Media Sensors, that 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 52 gsm and up to 450 gsm paper including envelopes, embossed paper, polyester, and cut-sheet labels, opening doors to diverse applications. 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.
For larger and more demanding projects, the systems accommodate long sheets up to 1,300 mm simplex and 900 mm in duplex, providing unrivalled flexibility to meet customer demands. 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.
Graphic arts customers such as print service providers, offset printers, digital printers, and direct mail will benefit from the AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S models. Other potential market segments include enterprise document printing, such as central print rooms and in-plant print operations.
Grant Thomas, product marketing manager, production print, Konica Minolta Australia, said, “Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S are engineered 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.
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.
Grant Thomas said, “Konica Minolta is committed to enhancing its customers’ creativity and digital transformation. The new five-colour AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S print systems build on 20 years of digital printing expertise, innovation, and leadership, backed by the dedicated professional support that Konica Minolta is known for.
“New operator assistance tools and fewer touchpoints let Konica Minolta customers optimise workflows and reduce downtime. This leads to greater creativity that empowers customers to rethink opportunities and identify new, profitable revenue streams.”
