Konica Minolta has launched the AccurioPress C7100 ENHANCED series, providing enhanced production speeds, media flexibility, and automation capabilities

Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK has unveiled the new AccurioPress C7100 ENHANCED series, an upgrade to the AccurioPress C7100 and AccurioPress C7090 designed to deliver quicker turnaround times and greater media flexibility.
The new ENHANCED series, which offers a 3,600 x 2,400dpi resolution, has also been developed to provide greater automation and ease-of-use in comparison to previous models.
The new AccurioPress C7100 and C7090 feature reported print speeds of up to 100ppm and 90ppm respectively. The presses also provide greater media flexibility with stocks of up to 400gsm, paper feeding for all formats up to 900mm in length, and the flexibility to handle embossed and textured media.
Utilising Konica Minolta’s latest Simitri V toner, the ENHANCED presses feature a new ‘intelligent colour control’ algorithm designed for enhanced colour management and colour reliability, which can measure up to 13 colours during production and make adjustments on the fly.
The C7100 ENHANCED series is available with an optional IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Care unit, which can provide consistent colour quality and front-to-back registration, aiming to eliminate the need for recalibrations or inspections during print production.
An optional in-line TU-510e trimming unit also offers a variety of finishing options including cutting, creasing, and perforating, allowing for the production of products including full-bleed trimmed book jackets, imposed cards, business cards, and coupons.
Malcolm Smith, category manager of Professional Print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK, says: “The new AccurioPress C7100 ENHANCED Series is designed to meet the needs of today’s dynamic print producer.
"It features the speed, high print volumes, flexibility, and workflow automation needed to turn jobs around quickly, but with the accuracy and high quality needed to impress and retain customers, helping them to outmanoeuvre their competition, win new business, and remain profitable.”
