The press is fully upgradable for AccurioLabel 230 customers and features new developments such as the ability to expand applications with white toner. Available in either four- or five-colour options, the AccurioLabel 400 offers faster print speeds of up to 39.9m per minute, and running cost reductions.
Konica Minolta says that when used with its Intelligent Quality Care and IQ-520, the company users of the new press can benefit from increased usability and automation and in turn, higher levels of control.
This is due to the Intelligent Quality Care solution enabling real time control of white toner opacity, colour stability control, and automatic calibration, density adjustments, and profile creation.
Capable of printing onto paper widths of up to 3.3m or 2.5m, the press features multiple touch panel monitors in three different areas.
Carsten Bamberg, business development manager of Konica Minolta Europe’s Professional Printing Group, says: “The digitisation of the label industry will continue to accelerate with double-digit predicted growth annually. Opportunity is everywhere. It just takes a spark to make it happen.
“Working in partnership as a global player and partner of choice, we are constantly rethinking print and helping customers to improve and grow in partnership. With an estimated 7,000-plus label converters in the mid- and high-volume markets, we feel confident of capturing significant market share with our AccurioLabel 400 that will have an extremely competitive total cost of ownership.”
The news follows Konica Minolta’s celebration of its 1000th installation of its AccurioLabel 230 toner digital printing press just seven years after entering the label sector.
