Konica Minolta has released the AccurioPress C10500 and C10500S production presses, the latest in a wide range of recent AccurioPress releases
Konica Minolta has announced the launch of its new AccurioPress C10500 and C10500S production presses, which complete the company’s C14010 series range.
The C10500 range is designed for commercial printers, in-house print rooms, and high-volume enterprises, designed to deliver quality output with minimal intervention.
The presses utilise Konica Minolta’s Simitri V toner, which is designed to deliver an offset matte finish and low fusing temperatures. The S model adds fifth colour capabilities including white toner.
Both the AccurioPress C10500 and C10500S use a raft of technology enhancements developed to streamline workflows and reduce manual intervention, including automatic adjustments and monitoring of colour profiles using the IQ-601 optimiser unit.
The presses also come with an IM-104 intelligent media sensor, which can identify paper type and weight for unattended, uninterrupted printing.
Malcolm Smith, category manager of professional print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK, says: "The AccurioPress C10500 and C10500S add exciting new options to our C14010 range.
“They expand our target audience and enable a broad spectrum of print businesses to better utilise their operators' time by working smarter and utilising greater automation, without sacrificing quality and consistency.”
The AccurioPress C10500 and C10500S also offer reported speeds up to 105ppm, as well as media handling across a broad range of substrates. The presses can work with paper up to a thickness of 450gsm, long sheets up to 1,300mm, embossed paper, envelopes, polyester, and cut-sheet labels.
The C10500 series has also been developed to deliver vibrant results on coloured, clear, or metallic materials.
Konica Minolta has released a wide range of new presses in recent months, including launching the AccurioPress C7100 ENHANCED series in June.
The ENHANCED series is an upgrade to the AccurioPress C7100 and AccurioPress C7090, designed to deliver quicker turnaround times and greater media flexibility.
The new AccurioPress C7100 and C7090 offer reported print speeds of up to 100ppm and 90ppm respectively, a 3,600 x 2,400dpi resolution, and can work with stocks of up to 400gsm.
In the same month, the company also released the AccurioJet 30000 digital UV inkjet press, its latest B2+ solution which provides upgrades to colour capabilities, production stability, and media handling in comparison to previous models.
