Konica Minolta has announced AccurioJet 30000, its most innovative digital UV inkjet press to date, that will take color capabilities, production stability and media handling capabilities to new levels of excellence. It will be available from June 2025.

Today’s unveiling of the new next-generation digital press from Konica Minolta follows the quality and technology of the hugely successful AccurioJet KM-1e series with more than 350 installations across the globe. The further developments of the AccurioJet 30000 will maximize customer value and improve usability for customers. It offers a highly stable, color-accurate digital printing platform with a more advanced inkjet printhead design featuring patented Dot Freeze Technology.  

The new versatile press offers unlimited creative possibilities 

Recognised for its versatile application possibilities that ignite new profitable business opportunities, the proprietary edge processing technology ensures sharper text quality, true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution and an exceptionally wide color gamut to provide unlimited creative applications. The B2+ large format increases flexibility and productivity.

The AccurioJet 30000 produces up to 3,000 sheets per hour (sph) with automatic duplex printing without ink drying delays. It prints on paper thicknesses of 0.06 to 0.6mm on an unprecedented variety of speciality media. These include heavy textured stock, canvas, metallics, translucent stock, packaging board and plastics.

Unlocking more application possibilities to maximize customer value

Application examples include print restaurant menus without lamination as well as maps, figures and outdoor displays. Other possibilities include backlit posters, signage, packaging, tags, desk calendars, direct mail, photo albums and more.

Among the improvements for Konica Minolta’s AccurioJet 30000 are:

  • A higher definition (HD) mode available at a touch of a button to improve granularity.  
  • A new printhead – HM201 – to optimize substrate wiring to ensure uniform head uniformity and temperature. 
  • Improved RIP performance by optimizing the configuration of the latest CPU and memory storage, plus waiting time elimination with PreRIP processing. 
  • The introduction of new media sensors and a spectrophotometer to ensure continuous image quality enabling automatic in-run correction. 
  • Provision of inter-color mist catchers in bundles to reduce maintenance time. 
  • A machine designed to be largely operator serviceable, as well benefiting from new remote support services.  
  • Improved data processing system inkjet manager with easy integration into existing offset workflows. 
  • Inline interface for third-party finishing devices. 
  • Introduction of exterior updates such as new color schemes.

“Although a digital press, the AccurioJet 30000 offers the same paper processing stability as an offset printer. And reliability delivers print products using our proprietary UV ink of the highest quality on longer runs. It will help customers to rethink printing possibilities and maximise customer value by providing a gateway to expanded and improved printing services.”

No date has yet been confirmed for the launch of the AccurioJet 60000, a highlight for Konica Minolta at drupa 2024 where it was shown running for the first time.
