AccurioShine 3600 and iFoilOne are available from Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK now.

Jon Hiscock, head of production and industrial print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK), said, ‘With the shift to digital printing, more emphasis is being placed on digitalising pre-press and post-press processes, alongside on-demand short-run printing. By combining the AccurioShine 3600 with other Konica Minolta digital colour printers, our customers not only grow their business in new ways, but also add value to their customers, by providing cost-effective, impactful, premium short-run embellishments to their day-to-day print jobs.’

The AccurioShine 3600 enables in-house spot UV varnishing, from prototyping to full production, without the need for screens, plates or dies. The AccurioShine 3600 utilises technology for adding 2D and 3D multiple coating and dimensional texture effects in a single pass. With a maximum supported paper size of B3+ (364 x 750mm), the AccurioShine 3600 is claimed to be ‘perfect’ for enhancing business/name cards, greeting cards, photobook covers and also packaging on demand. The fully digital AccurioShine 3600 features artificial intelligence registration technology and an eco-friendly LED curing system.

When combined with the iFoilOne inline hot foil stamping module, a range of high-impact finishing effects are possible. The AccurioShine 3600 also supports variable data printing (VDP). Job changes are simplified with the AccurioShine 3600’s VDP barcode scanner. Combining the scanner with automatic PDF file converter provides, ‘a seamless workflow, which takes files from PDF to the output tray in minutes,’ according to Konica Minolta.
