AccurioLabel Prototype tipped to push automation and productivity to ‘new heights’

AccurioLabel Prototype

KONICA Minolta has revealed the first details of its new AccurioLabel Prototype at Labelexpo this week.

The system is designed to push automation and productivity to ‘new heights’ while addressing key industry challenges.

Building on the success of the AccurioLabel 230, Konica Minolta explained its prototype is positioned as the ‘ideal solution’ for mid-range digital label production. It introduces an optional Intelligent Quality Optimiser (IQ) that is designed to simplify workflows, enable longer print runs of up to 1,600 linear metres, and ensure colour registration accuracy even at full speed. Print resolution has also been raised to 1200 x 2400 dpi.

Visitors to Labelexpo Europe can see it alongside Konica Minolta’s portfolio of digital label and packaging workflow solutions, showcased in partnership with MGI Digital Technology.

This year marks a decade since Konica Minolta entered the label market, during which time more than 1,700 presses have been installed worldwide.

Toshi Uemura, executive officer and head of industrial print at Konica Minolta Europe, said, “We are at the forefront of digital label production, which offers exciting opportunities for print service providers. Today’s unveiling of our new AccurioLabel Prototype marks another milestone, building on the AccurioLabel 230’s success and delivering even greater automation, speed, and quality.

“Konica Minolta’s mission is to enable better communication and society through the power of digital printing. By working closely with our customers, we help them overcome challenges ranging from shorter lead times and smaller job volumes to the shortage of skilled operators and environmental concerns.”
