Konica Minolta Launches Simply Efficient AccurioPress Series

The AccurioPress C6100 Series is now available in the 85 ppm C6085 and the 100 ppm C6100. The fast and flexible series has been created for operations who recently started digital printing and are now expanding their service as well as those who need to handle large, repeat, print volumes.

Karl-Friedrich Edenhuizen, Product Manager, Production Printing Group said: “Customers including graphic communication providers, CRDs and Print for Pay operations will all benefit from these simply efficient presses. This new generation of true production systems has been designed to ensure improved uptime and deliver even higher quality printed materials with greater reliability and stability.”

“With the Integrated Color Care Unit they overcome some of the biggest pain points in digital print production such as time-consuming front to back registration, extensive colour set-up and complex paper set-up operations which are now something in the past.”

He added: “These presses will underpin Konica Minolta’s market-leading reputation for productivity, reliability and quality. They will meet and exceed the advanced requirements of print production at the highest levels, as well as offering digital image quality on par with offset printing. All of our sales are backed by our Digital1234 business support programme, as well as market-leading service support.”

Uptime is assured via highly automated features such as automates colour adjustment, skill-less operation, constant control of gradation and front-to-back registration. Enhanced functions, including stabilised paper feeding, support a wide range of paper weights from 52 gsm to 400 gsm, plus embossed paper, encouraging broader production possibilities. Other enhancements include low-cost envelope printing, via a dedicated fusing unit – all of these features targeted at growing printers’ business.

Reliability and stability is further enabled by Simitri HD E toner for higher offset-like natural textures while lower temperature fusing reduces damage to paper resulting in higher quality finishes and improved environmental performance.

“The new series also delivers a top-class monthly duty cycle while parts have a long life,” adds Edenhuizen. “Collectively all these innovations have been combined into our fastest and most efficient and automated press yet. It has been launched to help operations enhance their bottom-line with a production press that offers maximum uptime and job flexibility for more profit in the print room.”
