Konica Minolta unveils next generation AccurioLabel Prototype

Packaging Solutions

With digital label production expanding at record speed, Konica Minolta has revealed at Labelexpo the first details of its new AccurioLabel Prototype, a system designed to push automation and productivity to new heights while addressing key industry challenges.

Building on the proven success of the AccurioLabel 230, the Prototype is positioned as the ideal solution for mid range digital label production. It introduces an optional Intelligent Quality Optimiser (IQ) that simplifies workflows, enables longer print runs of up to 1600 linear metres, and ensures colour registration accuracy even at full speed (23.4 metres per minute). Print resolution has also been raised to 1200 x 2400 dpi, offering sharper, more vibrant output.

Visitors to Labelexpo Europe (hall 5, E61/5G60) – held at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona until 19 September – can see it alongside Konica Minolta’s full portfolio of digital label and packaging workflow solutions, showcased in partnership with MGI Digital Technology.

This year also marks a decade since Konica Minolta entered the label market, during which time more than 1700 presses have been installed worldwide.

Toshi Uemura, executive officer and head of industrial print at Konica Minolta Europe, commented: ‘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.’
