Konica Minolta is proud to announce it has received a Buyers Lab (BLI) 2021 PRO Award from Keypoint Intelligence, the world’s leading and independent evaluator of document imaging hardware, software and services. Granted annually, these awards acknowledge the products that gave the best performances in production field testing over the previous year. Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress C14000 with EFI Fiery IC-319 Controller took top honors in the Outstanding High-Volume CMYK Production Device High-Volume Category and was identified as a trailblazer in the digital production marketplace.
“Konica Minolta’s innovative IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimiser has impressed us since its launch, allowing for quick, best practice colour setup and media-registration profiling, with inline checking and adjustment tolerances controllable by the operator,” said David Sweetnam, Director of EMEA/Asia Research & Lab Services at Keypoint Intelligence. “This technology helped the device deliver an outstanding performance over our production-length tests where, over 67,000 clicks, the device never drifted above DeltaE00 3.4, nor did it exhibit an image-registration shift of more than 0.3 mm.”
Another key technology innovation noted by Keypoint Intelligence that separates the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000 from its peers is the new TU-510 Versatile Trimmer Unit. This inline, four-edge trimmer and creaser allows full-bleed finishing support for banners, booklets, direct mail and a dedicated business card cutting option.
“We are glad to have made such a successful entry into the high-volume toner printing segment with AccurioPress C14000 Series and we are honoured to be recognised by Keypoint Intelligence once again.” said Mr Koji Yoshida, Managing Director of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia. “The IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimiser is our differentiator in the market, allowing us to take colour consistency and registration accuracy to the next level for our customers.”
Superior in automation, reliability and productivity, the AccurioPress C14000 Series is designed from the ground up to be digital print factories. With printing speeds of up to 140ppm, the print production press offers breath-taking speeds with outstanding image quality and unparalleled media flexibility. Featuring Konica Minolta’s new toner technology and Intelligent Quality Optimiser IQ-501, these help deliver close to offset-like print quality and improved efficiency via fully automated inspection module, real-time colour control and front-to-back registration adjustments on the fly.
