Konica Minolta Australia has launched its next-generation AccurioPress C7100e and C7090e colour production presses in Australia and New Zealand.
The company said these new systems “redefine digital print with unrivalled speed, automation, and versatility – empowering print providers to unlock new possibilities, increase productivity, and expand their creative offering with stunning print quality, exceptional print speeds and unmatched versatility”.
The AccurioPress C7100e and C7090e achieves print speeds of up to 100 pages per minute (ppm) and 90 ppm, respectively.
The inclusion of the IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimiser delivers new Intelligent Colour Control technology that utilises a new algorithm to measure colour control during print production.
The key benefit is said to be enhanced colour management and colour reliability, which enables print providers to achieve desired quality and colour consistency with re-print ability that is essential for precise print production.
These new presses support an extensive range of media – from 52gsm to 400gsm – and offer the flexibility to handle embossed and textured media, while providing advanced media feeding for long-sheet applications up to 1300mm in length.
According to the company, the AccurioPress Enhanced Series lets customers rethink possibilities in production printing and explore additional opportunities for business growth by expanding their range of print applications.
“Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress C7100e and C7090e have been engineered for efficiency, streamlining operations with advanced smart innovative technology,” said Grant Thomas, product marketing manager for Production Print at Konica Minolta Australia.
“These new print solutions help operators to work smarter with reduced manual adjustments for unattended, uninterrupted printing, and deliver flawless print results faster with reduced operator touchpoints.”
Konica Minolta’s enhanced inline finishing solutions also enable a greater range of finished print products. Among the range is the in-line TU-510e multi-trimming unit that cuts, creases, and perforates to produce full-bleed trimmed book jackets, imposed cards, business cards, coupons and more.
The inclusion of inline finishing reduces operator touchpoints, which the company said results in faster, more efficient finished print output.
The company’s advanced automatic print quality adjustments, which utilises its Intelligent Automated Quality Adjustments with IQ-501 and AQA technology, is also said to greatly improve print reliability and reduce operator set-up times to maximise press uptime significantly.
“The new AccurioPress Enhanced Series enables printing operations to serve more customers and complete more jobs with innovative technologies that power success,” explained Thomas.
“With these new systems, we’re helping them achieve more with fewer operations while enabling greater creativity and applications.
“The AccurioPress C7100e and C7090e models underpin Konica Minolta’s mission to support digital transformation, predicting potential challenges and creating solutions together.”
The AccurioPress C7100e and C7090e is now available for demonstrations at Konica Minolta showrooms across Australia and New Zealand.
