The new AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S, debuting at PacPrint 2025, are the future of digital print as they unlock new creative opportunities for printers.

Konica Minolta is set to redefine the digital print landscape with the Australian launch of the AccurioPress C14010S and AccurioPress C12010S.

These next-generation production presses, debuting at PacPrint 2025, mark a significant leap forward in print speed, media versatility, automation, and colour capabilities. With the introduction of high opacity CMYK + white toner, these presses are engineered to provide print businesses with enhanced creativity, expanded service offerings, and greater profitability.

Konica Minolta general manager of sales Andrew Cocker said he is excited about more than just the technical specs of the new presses.

“Innovation in digital print isn’t just about speed; it’s about unlocking new creative opportunities. The AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S set a new standard for what’s possible in the print industry,” he said.

Unlocking new business potential with white toner

One of the most anticipated features of the AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S is the introduction of white toner, a transformative addition for businesses looking to elevate their print applications.

The ability to print in white unlocks a range of creative possibilities, enabling printers to produce high-impact designs on dark, coloured, and transparent media.

“White toner is a game-changer for creative design. It empowers print businesses to differentiate themselves and offer premium, high-margin applications,” Cocker said.

By incorporating white toner, print providers can establish a unique position in a competitive market, add high-value print services, and expand their revenue streams.

Unrivalled performance for high-volume production

Built for efficiency, the AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S deliver exceptional speed and quality, with production rates of 140ppm and 120ppm respectively.

Designed to handle demanding workloads, these presses integrate seamlessly into commercial and specialty print environments, helping businesses meet tight deadlines and maintain consistent quality.

Key performance features include:

• Advanced IQ-601 Intelligent Quality Optimiser – Ensures real-time colour control and precise registration adjustments for flawless prints.

• Expanded media handling – Supports a wide range of substrates, including textured, synthetic, and heavyweight stocks up to 450gsm.

• High-capacity input and output – Reduces downtime and boosts productivity by enabling continuous, uninterrupted printing.

• Versatile finishing options – Includes inline booklet making, perfect binding, creasing and folding, streamlining production for various applications. “For print providers, efficiency is key.

These presses allow for greater throughput, reduced waste, and superior quality control, making them a must-have for high-volume environments,” Konica Minolta Australia production print product marketing manager Grant Thomas said.

Meeting the growing demand for customised and high-quality prints

The print industry is undergoing rapid transformation with increased demand for short-run, customised, and high-quality print solutions. The AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S offer:

• Enhanced automation – Reduces operator intervention and increases production efficiency.

• Exceptional colour consistency – Konica Minolta’s imaging technology ensures precise colour reproduction across all print jobs.

• Seamless integration – Works effortlessly with existing workflow and print management software, simplifying operations for businesses of all sizes.

Smart technology for smarter printing to meet customer demands

Konica Minolta continues to pioneer intelligent print solutions with features that minimise manual adjustments and optimise press uptime.

For larger and more demanding projects, the systems accommodate long sheets of up to 1300mm simplex and 900mm 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.

“Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S are engineered for efficiency, streamlining operations with advanced smart innovative technology,” Thomas said.

“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 with press uptime maximised

Other key 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.

The AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S models underpin Konica Minolta’s mission to support the digital transformation of its clients’ companies by sector and industry, predicting potential challenges and creating solutions together.

Its 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 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,” Thomas said.

“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.”

Let’s talk about the cover of this Australian Printer magazine

Konica Minolta printed the cover of this edition of Australian Printer using the new AccurioPress C14010S, showcasing its innovative capabilities.

Thomas shared his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “We really wanted to highlight the incredible impact white toner can have in print design. To achieve this, we used Ball & Doggett’s Silk HD Matt stock, laminated with a rainbow holographic film supplied by AllKotes. We then applied white toner to achieve a combination of blockout effects and design embellishments, creating a dynamic, high-contrast finish that really makes the design pop”.

This cover demonstrates how the AccurioPress C14010S can be leveraged for high-end, visually striking print applications that capture attention and add value.

Expanding revenue opportunities

With the introduction of white toner and enhanced media capabilities, the AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S provide printers with the tools to diversify their offerings. Whether they’re producing luxury print products, specialty labels, or premium marketing materials, these presses open doors to greater creativity and profitability.

“For printers looking to elevate their capabilities, streamline operations, and embrace new opportunities, the AccurioPress C14010S and C12010S are the ultimate game-changers in digital print,” Cocker said.
