Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia has announced the launch of the new AccurioPress C8100 Series, bringing a new approach to mid-production printing with The Intelligent Press™. Going beyond conventional automation, the new series combines AI, real-time sensing and autonomous optimisation to sense, decide and adapt while production is running.
Traditional automation helps simplify predefined tasks. The AccurioPress C8100 Series takes this further through autonomous printing, where the press continuously monitors production conditions, identifies changes and automatically responds to maintain consistent output.
Powered by Konica Minolta's AccurioPress Intelligence, the series brings together automation, sensing and optimisation to support more predictable results with less operator intervention. Advanced sensors monitor media, colour, print quality and production conditions, while intelligent systems can detect deviations and make adjustments during production.
New options further support automated print quality adjustment, paper detection and colour processing adjustment. Some features are available as options. By reducing the need for constant manual monitoring and intervention, the AccurioPress C8100 Series can help print businesses reduce operator dependency, minimise waste and maintain consistent quality across jobs and shifts.
The AccurioPress C8100 Series is positioned in Konica Minolta's production print portfolio between the AccurioPress C5080 Series for light production and the AccurioPress C14010/S Series for high production. The new series has been developed to support reliable and efficient mid-volume production. With print speeds of up to 100 A4 sheets per minute, the series is designed to help customers manage demanding production schedules while maintaining consistent output. The press has also been redesigned for enhanced robustness, reliable uptime, repeatable quality and smoother day-to-day operation. Combined with its intelligent production capabilities, these features help customers respond to tighter deadlines and changing job requirements while supporting the growth of their digital print business.
At the heart of The Intelligent Press™ concept is the role of the operator. Rather than requiring operators to continuously monitor and react to production issues, the AccurioPress C8100 Series is designed to provide intelligent support during the print process. This can allow operators to spend less time on routine interventions and more time managing production, optimising workflow and taking on additional jobs. In environments where skilled printing expertise is increasingly difficult to find, this approach can help businesses make better use of available resources while maintaining reliable and consistent production.
Mr Francis Chua, General Manager, Regional Sales and Marketing HQ, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia, said:
“Across Asia, print providers are under increasing pressure to deliver faster turnaround times, maintain consistent quality and operate more efficiently, often with limited skilled manpower. With the launch of the AccurioPress C8100 and C8090, we are taking an important step from conventional automation towards intelligent production, where the press can sense, decide and adapt with minimal operator intervention. Our focus is not simply on introducing advanced technology, but on helping customers reduce operational complexity, improve profitability and build stronger, more competitive businesses for the future.”
