Sample from the AccurioLabel 190
Labelexpo saw Konica Minolta unveiling the AccurioLabel 190 digital toner press, which succeeds the bizhub press C71cf launched two years ago. The company also announced the 100th installation of its label system.
In Europe, the press has been developed and manufactured in cooperation with Grafisk Maskinfabrik (GM). Elsewhere in the world, the winders will still be provided by Miyakoshi for KM’s label systems. It is expected to start shipping this coming December.
The AccurioLabel 190 prints in a 1200×1200 dpi resolution in CMYK using newly developed toners, with no pre-coating required. It can run at up to 19m/min on most commonly used self-adhesive substrates, printing in a width of 320mm. The new machine for Europe comes with a web guiding system as a standard and can work as an inline finishing solution together with the GM DC330Mini or as a standalone machine.
Charles Lissenburg, general manager, Professional Print Division, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH, said, ‘We are extremely proud of just how far we have come in a short space of time since entering the labels market. Our proven digital toner technology is used extensively at customer sites across the globe and is backed by world-class service and support that is provided locally, along with delivery of parts and consumables. Finishing is provided on- or off-line.’
He added, ‘Two years ago – after carefully screening and listening to the market – we introduced a system that had real unique selling points and thus created real new business opportunities for our growing customer base, which now covers more than 100 sites globally. We have listened carefully to their feedback, which has really helped shape our ideas and thinking. The new AccurioLabel 190 takes us on to the next stage of our development as a serious player in the industrial markets.’
