Additional white toner models further expand offerings, enabling businesses to tap into new revenue streams.

Unrivalled flexibility and smart technology to meet customer demands

For larger and more demanding projects, the systems accommodate long sheets up to 1,300mm (or 900mm in duplex), providing unrivalled flexibility to meet customer demands. Whether it is banners, book covers, or specialty items, the AccurioPress C14010 series help customers rethink possibilities in production printing and have additional opportunities for business growth.

Graphic arts customers such as PSPs, offset printers, digital printers, and direct mail are among targets for the AccurioPress C14010/S and C12010/S series. Another group for sales will be enterprise document printing such as central reprographic departments and in-plants.

Engineered for efficiency, Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress C14010/S and C12010/S streamline operations with advanced smart technology. Features such as the Intelligent Quality Optimizer Unit IQ-601including a new inline spectrophotometer for precise colour profiles and Intelligent Media Sensors (IM-104 and IM-105) ensure consistent, high-quality output with minimum user intervention. The IM-105 measures the paper size of the substrates and detects even the slightest variations in paper cutting size and, together with the Intelligent Quality Optimizer IQ-601, automatically adjusts

image positioning to eliminate front/back alignment errors ensuring professional quality and consistency with every print run. These tools help operators to work smarter, reduce manual adjustments for unattended, uninterrupted printing, and deliver flawless print results faster.
