A new AccurioLabel 400 has been installed at Label Tec Scotland. The first installation of Konica Minolta’s digital label press delivers incredibly high resolution and print speed, for the leading provider of high quality labels. 

Based in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Label Tec Scotland creates innovative and bespoke label products that identify and enhance the qualities of its many customers products. The company has been relying on technology from Konica Minolta for more than 20 years, so when it was looking for a new press that would increase capacity and widen its offering to customers looking for quality, flexibility and agility, Label Tec Scotland turned once again to the supplier.

Paul Dunne, managing director at Label Tec, commented: ‘During a visit to Labelexpo last year we noticed how many of the digital technologies on the market have changed very little over the last five years. The AccurioLabel 400 offers something different, printing incredibly high resolution at speeds matching traditional flexographic presses. It also produces an opaque white that can match anything on the market today. What is more there is no need to pre-coat the wide range of substrates we are able to print on.’

The AccurioLabel 400 is capable of speeds up to 39.9 metres per minute, depending on the media type and colour combinations, with print data processed at a resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi. Furthermore, tasks such as colour adjustments, colour registration control and calibration are fully automated with Intelligent Quality Care.

Paul added, ‘I believe this is a safe investment for my business and it enables Label Tec Scotland to exploit the medium to higher run digital print segment in the market.’

In 2019, Label Tec Scotland was alao he first company in the UK to install the AccurioLabel 230, which helped to keep customers supplied with labels during the pandemic.
