“AccurioLabel 190” has been created to take center stage on the globally-expanding digital label market.
Adoption of a production printer as the engine, which represents the culmination of cutting-edge technologies amassed by Konica Minolta over a span of many years. AccurioLabel 190 contributes to business expansion by perfectly balancing customer needs from the perspectives of quality and cost.
The global label market continues to expand by the day with the prospect of further stable growth in the future. The ratio of demand for digital labels is increasing year by year, giving rise to a trend of growing demand for small-lot printing.
As the number of high-mix low-volume print jobs continues to increase, print companies now find themselves in a position where they also need to be able to cope with orders with shorter lead times than with conventional high-volume printing.
Printing demands that were difficult to cope with using analogue printers can now be handled effociently thanks to the flexibility that is one of the advantages of digital printing. The added value that digital printers provides for tasks such as variable and numbering printings enables print companies to realize product differentiation amidst diversifying market needs
Settings such as color tone adjustments and ink cleaning are required.
Data is output directly from a PC.
Small to medium-size label and seal print companies who take on orders for local brand work
Target Applications Food and beverage products (e.g. event-related goods, souvenirs such as local wines, jams, ham and cheeses), cosmetics, beverages (small lots for events), local household detergents that use packaging film, and so on.
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.
Small-point characters
Small characters are also vividly printed to ensure ease of reading.
Solid density
Solid black areas with high image density can be expressed with a suitable glossy appearance.
Barcode printing
Small barcodes can also be printed without blurring. Variable barcodes can also be printed.
Reproduction of skin tones
Roughness of the skin can be suppressed to reproduce richly-textured human skin tones.
To meet demands of digital printing business such as shorter turnaround and expansion of print application,AccurioLabel 230 improves overall productivity and job acceptability especially overprinting capability on pre-printed transparency or coloured media.

High image quality is realised by Konica Minolta’s unique technology through faithfully facing the high-level needs in digital print market. Colour fluctuation is controlled within the minimum under various condition, which ensures stable and beautiful finish for the first through to the last prints. High image quality that brings higher value of printed material generates advantages for the print services.
Multi-gradation Data Processing at a high Resolution of 1200dpi x 8bit
High resolution of 1200dpi produces a high-precision finish. Combined with the reproductive capability of digital toner HDE , small characters and fine lines can be printed clearly and color images beautifully output in rich gradations
8bit/256-gradation processing
Color and monochrome are processed at a resolution of 1200dpi x 8bit with 256 gradations expressed in 1 pixel.
“S.E.A.D” – Image processing technology to meet sophisticated needs
Furnished with an even more evolved “S.E.A.D.” – Konica Minolta’s unique image processing technology. High-precision image processing is performed in close linkage with the image formation process, achieving a high-dimensional fusion of “productivity,” “image quality” and “stability” and producing high image quality by taking optimum advantage of the engine characteristics.
Realization of production speed 13.5m/min for tack paper
Furnished with the top level speed and stable printing performance in the class, per-minute speeds of 18.9m, 13.5m and 9.45m are selected depending on the paper type. In addition, the fast startup after switching on the power enables reduction in setup time, enhancing output productivity
Ease of Tasks such as Color Adjustments and Reprinting compared to Analog Machines
Compared not only to flexography, but also liquid development and inkjet printers, AccurioLabel 190 ensures ease of maintenance. Tasks that take time on analog machines such as color adjustments can be performed with ease on a digital machine. The ability to perform operations simply by following on-screen instructions makes it possible to operate the machine with little time needed for training.
Mouse-compatible operation panel
The large 15-inch display adopted is easy to view and operate. The angle of the panel can be freely adjusted to suit the user and the easy-to-understand GUI and guide messages ensure high operability when making settings. A USB mouse can also be connected to improve operability.

Allows use of labels in various scenes
Furnished with newly-developed digital toner HDE to further improve image quality and energy-saving performance. The 3-dimensional hybrid structure that incorporates functional polymers provides high contouring performance for all types of media, enabling realization of ideal natural textures. In addition, Fixation at lower temperatures contributes to major reductions in power consumption.

Capable of continuous printing of a maximum size of 1,195 x 320mm
The system is capable of continuous printing of sizes of a maximum length of 1,195mm and width of 320mm. The advantages of printing 1,195mm lengths enable not only printing of long panels, but also effcient imposition and printing of labels of differing sizes, realizing effective use of paper.
Provides Flexibility for high-mix low-volume jobs at low cost
AccurioLabel 190 requires no plate that is essential for analog label printing machines and achieves reduction of paper waste generated during trial printing due to stable and precise output from the beginning of print job. In addition, reduction in labor cost thanks to a digital work flow realizes reduction in production cost compared to analog label printing machines for small-to-medium lots.
