“Konica Minolta continues its industry-leading approach to ignite and help our customers customers See the Potential with our next generation of monochrome production presses.” said Teh Hui Ying. “Built on the back of the successful AccurioPress 6136 Series, it is focused on delivering high performance print quality, production speeds, and application versatility that responds to evermore demanding market needs.”
Like its predecessor, the Konica Minolta AccurioPress 7136 Series can produce a monthly peak volume of up to 3.24 million A4 pages. It also offers the highest media flexibility through the intelligent paper catalogue and enables print providers to create more business opportunities by handling a wide range of essential digital printing applications.
With the optional IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimiser, input time is eliminated, and potential errors are reduced. It delivers automatic real-time density and registration adjustment, creating printer profiles for easy operation.
High quality output is supported by 220 paper profiles pre-uploaded which help reduce errors and improve print quality, all without requiring manual intervention by a specialised operator. This means anyone can operate the AccurioPress 7136 Series with just a touch.
Responsible and sustainable operation is assured by the achievement of the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool gold rating. The Konica Minolta AccurioPress 7136 series has also cleared Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) values for version 3.2 of the international ENERGY STAR Program by a substantial margin.
Seamless operation runnability and every day efficiency is enabled by OpenAPI that provides high scalability between Konica Minolta production printing devices, AccurioPro workflows and third-party solutions. User friendly, scalable and flexible print flow systems that automate and optimizes a company’s entire print workflow is delivered by AcurrioPro Flux. Konica Minolta’s IWS (Internal Web Server) also allows the User Interface to be customised based on operator requirements while IM-101 and IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimiser expand automation capabilities and reduce the need for skilled operators.
The highest finishing flexibility in its class is enabled by close to 200 different configuration possibilities. These choices include Konica Minolta own-developed finishing such as the innovative inline trimming unit TU-510 that saves valuable operator time and reduces the cost of manual labour. It can slit and trim everything from small business cards to SRA 3 sheets. Its IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimiser unit ensure consistency and registration accuracy for every printed sheet.
Ms Teh Hui Ying added: “Efficient operation that minimises waste and maximises production times enables commercial printers to ensure they are running as smoothly and profitably as possible. IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimiser aids consistent production of perfect print while intelligent workflows can be effortlessly created. The print production process is then completed responsively by a versatile choice of high-quality finishing equipment.”
