Adding yet another achievement to its extensive list of industry recognitions, Konica Minolta’s AccurioJet KM-1 has recently been awarded the world’s first FOGRA53 accreditation. The robust profile certification was awarded by Fogra Research Institute for Media Technologies for the outstanding stability, versatility, and colour accuracy delivered by the AccurioJet KM-1 after an exhaustive testing program. The development also makes Konica Minolta the first global press manufacturer to receive the FOGRA53 accreditation.

Delivering differentiation, digitally: The AccurioJet KM-1

A top-of-the-line UV LED digital inkjet sheetfed printer, the AccurioJet KM-1 comes equipped with many advanced capabilities. Not only is it capable of moving short-run offset to digital inkjet, but can also carry out hybrid printing operations by seamlessly integrating with existing offset processes. Capable of printing up to 3,000 single-sided B2 sheets per hour at up to 1,200 dpi, the AccurioJet KM-1 is also designed for duplex printing, as well as printing on packaging board, lightweight papers and textured stock.

Another major differentiator for the AccurioJet KM-1 is the Dot Freeze Technology®. The unique technology addresses one of the most fundamental issues with inkjet printing: that of uncontrolled ink dot movement. By self-freezing ink drops upon contact with the print material, DFT ensures superlative print quality and also overcomes the challenge of mottling of colours and printing on porous materials. Thanks to such innovative capabilities, the AccurioJet KM-1 has already been recognised by the European Digital Press Association (EDP) as the “Best Cut-Sheet Colour B2+ Printer”.

Research Institute for Media Technologies is a German-based research institute for printing and media. It operates under the aegis of the German Federation of Industrial Research Associations (AiF), which oversees and supports joint industrial research on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The institute’s recognition of AccurioJet KM-1’s superior tech capabilities will give the growing community of Konica Minolta customers across the world yet another reason to celebrate their association with the brand.

With a maximum print speed of 23.4m/min and a warm-up time of less than 30 seconds, the AccurioLabel 230 is designed to deliver superlative value addition through best-in-class print quality, productivity, and operational flexibility. It facilitates higher print output and faster turnaround times between print jobs and is capable of handling a wide range of print media – including non-tack/tack paper, tack coated paper G/M, synthetic paper, PP, and PET – and thicknesses of up to 256gsm.

In addition to its operational speed and flexibility, the AccurioLabel 230 differentiates itself from competing products with its unique overprinting solution that automatically adjusts the overprint position for accurate registration; this reduces print wastage and lowers operational costs for print businesses for pre-printed jobs. The machine also comes with advanced variable data printing (VDP) capabilities, making it perfect for short-run print jobs that require a high degree of personalisation. Its compact, ergonomic design also makes it possible for the AccurioLabel 230 to be installed in large print setups alongside other machines, as well as in smaller print shops.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Daisuke Mori, MD Konica Minolta Business Solutions India Pvt Ltd., said, “Labels and packaging is a fast-growing market segment in India and the launch of the AccurioLabel 230 caters to this emerging demand for new-age print jobs. Through the product, we are looking to provide print and printing businesses across India with a solution that can help boost their profitability, enhance operational efficiency, and drive business growth. Given the success that the AccurioLabel 190 has received, both in India and across the globe, we are confident that our latest offering will receive a similarly enthusiastic market response.”

The launch of the AccurioLabel 230 builds on Konica Minolta’s clear technological leadership in the Indian print and printing domain. The development also underlines its vision to capitalise on the country’s high-growth labels and packaging market with its range of cutting-edge label printers.

Speaking about the event, Mr. Kuldeep Malhotra, Vice President – Sales, Konica Minolta Business Solutions India Pvt Ltd said, “In this digital-driven era, ensuring robust security has become a non-negotiable business requirement, particularly for organisations in the Indian IT domain. The objective of our participation in the recent CIO Klub Meet in Hyderabad was to highlight how unsecure document management and printing operations can increase the security risk for enterprises. By empowering senior IT leaders with an in-depth understanding of various security issues in conventional printing workflows, we aim to help them identify innovative solutions and strategies that can secure their mission-critical data and business processes.

”With increased interconnectivity across the enterprise network, cybercriminals and malicious entities have an unparalleled opportunity to compromise critical business data and processes through unsecure peripheral IT resources such as smart office printers and MFPs. IT organisations, in particular, have consistently been at a major cyber risk; according to the Quarterly Threat Report Q3 2018 released by Seqrite, the sector accounted for 40% of total malware detection in India across industries between July and September, 2018.
