Konica Minolta has rolled out two new digital presses for the mid to high-volume production print market with the launch of the latest Accurio Press C6100 series.
As a successor of the flagship bizhub Press C1100/C1085 series, the new Accurio Press C6100/C6085 print systems deliver support on a large range of media types and weights, from 52gsm up to 400gsm at a maximum rated speed of 100ipm. In addition, envelope print functionality is now available with the advanced envelope fuser. Long sheet capability will be available in early 2018, enabling the printing of duplex long sheet up to 762mm and simplex up to 1200mm long, ideal for producing book covers and folded collateral, creating new opportunities professional print and graphic communications providers.
“With the expansion of value-added features and high-level improvements, the new Accurio PRESS C6100 series is efficient and versatile, while providing high-quality print and reliability to surpass our customers’ expectations,” says Grant Thomas, product marketing manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Australia.
In addition to the two new models, Konica Minolta is introducing the new IQ-501, which embodies a fully-automated, closed-loop quality management system that results in superior colour consistency and accurate front-to-back registration. The new combination provides an automated process management system that delivers the precise colour and image quality.
“IQ-501 overcomes some of the biggest pain points in digital print production such as time-consuming front-to-back registration, extensive colour set-up and complex paper set-up operations with leading technologies that simplify the process,” says Thomas.
“The new series also delivers a top-class monthly duty cycle with high yield parts and consumables. Collectively, these innovations have been combined into Konica Minolta’s fastest and most efficient and automated colour press to date.”
Both systems are available with a paper feed unit that includes the newly designed colour dual scanner which is capable of running at scan speeds of up to 240 ipm, and is equipped with a double-feed detection kit to avoid scanning two sheets at once, avoiding incomplete scanned document files.
The new presses will be unveiled in Reveal Launch Sessions over the coming weeks across Konica Minolta state branches.
