Introducing The Accuriolabel 400 from Konica Minolta Go For Success In Label Printing

Label converters and commercial printers are faced with an increasing number of print jobs for small to medium editions, which they are expected to produce in ever-shorter processing times. With conventional flexo and offset printing, it is hardly possible to produce such orders profitably. Flexible digital printing, however, allows producing short-run jobs easily and with a maximum of efficiency.

The AccurioLabel 400 is the next solution from Konica Minolta’s successful journey in the digital label printing segment and will complement the AccurioLabel 230, one of the top-selling digital label presses in the world. Label converters and professional print providers with higher print volumes benefit from higher print speeds, white toner, longer print runs and user-friendly automation tools.

The AccurioLabel 400 offers outstanding productivity, brilliant image quality and surprising ease of use. This is your answer to the challenge of shorter delivery times, personalisation and versioning as well as instant production of on-demand print runs – which makes it your perfect tool to use in conjunction with existing analogue equipment and to diversify into new markets.

Flux Label Impose Rethink Workflow

For reasons of efficiency and economy, label-manufacturing printers need to automate and integrate their workflow as much as possible. Equally important is the optimised use of media to avoid any waste of label material. This is why multiple labels are usually imposed across the width and length of the label web – a process that can easily become a complicated and time-consuming procedure if performed manually. The Flux Label Impose software tool offers the perfect solution to this challenge: the application provides a simple and intuitive user interface for the automatic imposition and preparation of label jobs for printing.

Key Features

- Automatic creation of label repetitions: The application facilitates and automates the creation of label repetitions on the label web

- Variable data content: The processing of variable data content is simple and straightforward and can easily be incorporated into the automatic label repetitions.

- Personalisation: Adding of VDP content from CSV file as text, barcode and QR code

- Adjustable spacing: Operators can freely and individually adjust the spacing between columns and rows as required.

- Adding standard and custom eye marks: The application offers complete flexibility in adding standard and custom eye marks in any desired position for offline finishing.

- Arranging artwork: Users can choose between automatic and manual arrangement of artwork for the label layout.

- Gang-up printing: A single sheet can be imposed with just one or various selected artwork motifs.

- Die cutting tools: With the ability to detect additional separations (die lines, spot varnish, foil, etc.) and export them to PDF, Flux Label Impose facilitates the production of the die cutting tools and enables additional decorations on labels.

- Preflight: Checks PDF files for missing fonts, images with a resolution too low and transparencies to avoid printing problems.
