Konica Minolta ships 500th AccurioLabel

‘Konica Minolta entered the digital label press market in 2016 and quickly hit the milestone of 500 units sold,’ said Toshitaka Uemura, general manager of Industrial Print Business Unit, Professional Print Business Headquarters at Konica Minolta. ‘We drove the growth of the overall digital label press market by creating a new mid-range digital label press. Last year, we had one of the largest shares of the global market. This has been achieved by widespread support from customers for the AccurioLabel series as a solution to various issues faced by the label printing industry, including the growing demand for small to medium print jobs with fast delivery.’

‘Many label converters, which used analog printing alone, have entered digital printing for the first time using AccurioLabel. We will continue to help customers expand their businesses as their partner in the industrial printing business,’ concluded Uemura.

The latest model of the series, AccurioLabel 230 is a flexible system for on-demand job needs and runs most tack papers and films at speeds of up to 23.4 mpm with the printing resolution of 1,200 × 1,200 dpi and 256 gradations. The touch panel monitor enables intuitive operation and is easy to use for operators, eliminating the need for extensive user training.
