As a leading provider of imaging and business solutions, Konica Minolta is set to participate in Consumer Electronics Imaging Fair (CEIF) 2025, which is scheduled to be held from January 9 – 11, 2025 in Hall 11 of Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The company is presenting a robust line up of advanced digital printing technologies that are poised to redefine both professional photography and production printing capabilities across digital and production print verticals.
At the heart of the showcase is AccurioPress C84hc/C74hc, an advanced digital printing solution with groundbreaking colour reproduction technology. These high-chroma (HC) digital printing solutions offer an extended colour gamut that enables print professionals to achieve unprecedented colour depth and accuracy. This technology is particularly transformative for the professional photography and wedding photography market, where precise colour reproduction and vibrant output are paramount. The HC technology ensures that every nuance of colour in professional photographs is captured and reproduced with exceptional fidelity.
Complementing the colour innovation is the AccurioShine 3600 with inline Foil, a digital spot UV coating system designed to elevate printed materials. This innovative system has revolutionised the photo album and wedding photography market by allowing photographers to create premium, high-impact photo books with sophisticated embellishments. The system enables intricate spot varnish effects that create tactile and visually striking printed graphics, adding a new dimension to wedding albums and professional photography portfolios.
Commenting on the exhibition, Katsuhisa Asari, Managing Director at Konica Minolta Business Solution India Pvt. Ltd., said, “At CEIF 2025, our focus is on advancing digital printing and professional photography. With a strengthened presence in the photography segment, we are concentrating on supporting the ongoing developments in the photo and wedding photo album market. Through improvements in colour reproduction, premium finishing, and workflow automation, we are providing businesses and photographers with the tools needed to thrive in a digital-first landscape. Our efforts extend beyond hardware, aiming to enhance how professional printing and photography businesses operate and deliver value to their customers.”
Rounding out the range is AccurioPress C12000, a high-volume digital press that sets new standards in printing performance. Capable of producing up to 120 A4 pages per minute, this machine represents a quantum leap in digital production technology. Its exceptional colour consistency and remarkable reliability make it an ideal solution for large-scale commercial printing operations that demand unparalleled speed and precision.
Complementing the C12000 is AccurioPress C7100, a versatile production printer that offers remarkable flexibility for medium to large print volumes. With an impressive capability of producing 100 A4 colour pages per minute, the C7100 stands out through its advanced colour management technologies. The printer ensures vibrant and accurate colour reproduction across diverse substrates, meeting the most demanding professional printing requirements.
A standout feature across Konica Minolta’s production printing portfolio is the IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer, an advanced automatic colour and image control system that ensures exceptional print quality. This sophisticated quality control system delivers highly automated image registration and colour control through a closed-loop system that continuously monitors and adjusts printed output. The IQ-501’s automated capabilities, including real-time colour calibration, density balance adjustment, and front-to-back registration control, significantly reduce operator intervention while maintaining consistent, high-quality output. This is particularly crucial for professional photography applications and colour-critical print jobs where precise colour reproduction and registration accuracy are paramount.
