Konica Minolta, a leading provider of imaging and business solutions, is set to participate in Consumer Electronics Imaging Fair (CEIF) 2025, presenting a robust lineup of advanced digital printing technologies that are poised to redefine both professional photography and production printing capabilities across digital and production print verticals.
At the heart of the showcase is the AccurioPress C84hc/C74hc, an advanced digital printing solution with groundbreaking color reproduction technology. These high-chroma (HC) digital printing solutions offer an extended colour gamut that enables print professionals to achieve unprecedented colour depth and accuracy. This technology is particularly transformative for the professional photography and wedding photography market, where precise color reproduction and vibrant output are paramount. The HC technology ensures that every nuance of color in professional photographs is captured and reproduced with exceptional fidelity.
Complementing the color innovation is the AccurioShine 3600 with inline Foil, a digital spot UV coating system designed to elevate printed materials. This innovative system has revolutionized the photo album and wedding photography market by allowing photographers to create premium, high-impact photo books with sophisticated embellishments. The system enables intricate spot varnish effects that create tactile and visually striking printed products, adding a new dimension to wedding albums and professional photography portfolios.
Commenting on the exhibition, Mr. Katsuhisa Asari, Managing Director at Konica Minolta Business Solution India Pvt. Ltd. said, “At CEIF 2024, our focus is on advancing digital printing and professional photography. With a strengthened presence in the photography segment, we are concentrating on supporting the ongoing developments in the photo and wedding market. Through improvements in color reproduction, premium finishing, and workflow automation, we are providing businesses and photographers with the tools needed to thrive in a digital-first landscape. Our efforts extend beyond hardware, aiming to enhance how professional printing and photography businesses operate and deliver value to their customers.”
Rounding out the range is the AccurioPress C12000, a high-volume digital press that sets new standards in printing performance. Capable of producing up to 120 A4 pages per minute, this machine represents a quantum leap in digital production technology. Its exceptional colour consistency and remarkable reliability make it an ideal solution for large-scale commercial printing operations that demand unparalleled speed and precision.
Complementing the C12000 is the AccurioPress C7100, a versatile production printer that offers remarkable flexibility for medium to large print volumes. With an impressive capability of producing 100 A4 colour pages per minute, the C7100 stands out through its advanced colour management technologies. The printer ensures vibrant and accurate colour reproduction across diverse substrates, meeting the most demanding professional printing requirements.
A standout feature across Konica Minolta’s production printing portfolio is the IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer, an advanced automatic color and image control system that ensures exceptional print quality. This sophisticated quality control system delivers highly automated image registration and color control through a closed-loop system that continuously monitors and adjusts printed output. The IQ-501’s automated capabilities, including real-time color calibration, density balance adjustment, and front-to-back registration control, significantly reduce operator intervention while maintaining consistent, high-quality output. This is particularly crucial for professional photography applications and color-critical print jobs where precise color reproduction and registration accuracy are paramount.
Beyond individual machines, Konica Minolta is presenting an integrated ecosystem of digital printing solutions. The company will highlight its advanced workflow management software and colour calibration technologies that ensure seamless operation and consistent output quality. Additionally, exhibition attendees will witness live demonstrations of the mentioned product lineup at the Konica Minolta booth. Technical experts will be available to provide in-depth insights into each system’s capabilities. The exhibition is scheduled from 9th to 11th January 2025 at Hall No. 11, Pragati Maidan, Delhi, providing industry professionals with an exclusive look at the future of digital imaging and production printing.
