Konica Minolta took to the recent Labelexpo Southeast Asia tradeshow in Bangkok, Thailand, to showcase its high productivity AccurioLabel 400 press.
At the event, Konica Minolta demonstrated how digital printing can increase on-demand job opportunities and production cost savings and reduce waste due to lower setup and startup material requirements.
The AccurioLabel 400 is Konica Minolta’s newest dry-toner digital label press, allowing customers to expand their businesses in the growing markets of digital label production and packaging.
The AccurioLabel 400 incorporates all of Konica Minolta’s technology, including the Intelligent Quality Optimiser (IQ-520) colour management functionality for real-time colour stability and registration control.
The new press features a fifth station for white toner to expand creative label applications, plus resolution equivalent to 3,600dpi by 2,400dpi, and many automated control features for highly productive label output.
Important new developments include extended job opportunities with press runs up to 3000m, improved productivity with super-fast print speeds of up to 40 m/nim (CMYK) and up to 20 m/min with optional white, and further running cost reductions thanks to even more durable parts life, as well as enhanced print quality. The AccurioLabel 400 is available in 4- and 5-colour options.
It also features an integrated BST web guide system and can be optionally fitted with a corona treater, unwind unit for lamination and drawer dusty cleaner -double sides.
The press is capable of printing on a wide range of substrates, including P and PET, with media thickness between 81 to 256 gsm.
“We go beyond simply offering production innovations and technologies. We focus on creating value and providing Konica Minolta’s original solutions that genuinely address our customers’ challenges and exactly solve their problems,” Konica Minolta Thailand marketing communication section manager Watcharapong said.
“The AccurioLabel 400 reflects our commitment, as evidenced by the rapid global sales growth of the AccurioLabel digital label press. From its first worldwide installation in 2017 to the countdown towards our 2,000th unit sale in the near future, we aim for the AccurioLabel 400 to be a key driver for label and converter entrepreneurs in today’s highly competitive market, offering endless business value.”
During live demonstrations of the AccurioLabel 400, show visitors saw the high colour quality with outstanding white toner in action, supporting perfect white label printing in a single pass.
The company also showcased user-friendly functions, including automatic quality adjustment and control, that eliminate the need for highly skilled labour, and imposition software for automated label placement on the print layout.
