Official launch of KM-1
The stage is set for Konica Minolta to launch KM-1, its B2+ UV inkjet press. At Konica Minolta’s booth, it can be found in the B2 inkjet printing zone, where it will perform in combination with MGI’s JETvarnish, showing visitors a wide range of benefits. They include moving short-run offset to digital inkjet, the ability to carry out hybrid printing with the integration of KM-1 into existing offset processes, duplex printing and larger sheet sizes as well as printing on packaging board, lightweight papers and textured stock.
Labels and packaging industries
Konica Minolta commits to make fully-fledged inroads into the label and packaging sectors. At drupa, Konica Minolta will show how a combination of its bizhub PRESS C71cf, GM DC330 Mini finisher and MGI’s JETvarnish can reduce label print run lengths, enabling faster delivery times and opening the doors to value-added on-demand label runs.
Furthermore, for those looking at optimising opportunities in the digitally-printed packaging space, Konica Minolta will stage a technical showcase of a new technology: KM-C. This flat-bed B1 format inkjet digital press has been developed for folding carton and thin corrugated applications for a thickness of 0.3 – 1.2 mm.
Accurio branding
Accurio is a common and unified new brand for all of Konica Minolta’s inkjet digital press and digital workflow solutions. The Accurio name reflects the advanced, automated and, most of all, accurate nature of Konica Minolta’s technology. Henceforth Konica Minolta’s commercial printing solutions will be known as AccurioPro, while the KM-1 will become AccurioJet KM-1.
