complex projects can be run by a single operator.
As with the entire AccurioPress portfolio, a wide range of finishing and other functions are also offered in addition to booklet-making, stapling, perfect binding, and wire binding. Konica Minolta’s TU-510, the world’s first inline trimming unit, successfully introduced with the C14000 series, is available as an option for the AccurioPress C7100 Series. The TU-510 is a four-edge trimming unit that can trim, crease, and perforate, allowing for full-bleed finishing support for long sheets, booklets, direct mail, and offers a dedicated business card option.
Konica Minolta will also have
its full-service label offering, incorporating the globally successful AccurioLabel 230 and the Grafisk Maskinfabrik range of finishing solutions, on show for the first time in Australia. Konica Minolta has just partnered with Grafisk Maskinfabrik (GM), a global player in the label market, to offer its ultra-compact DC350Nano and DC330Mini label finishers to customers in Australia and New Zealand.
The two label finishers will complement Konica Minolta’s digital label press, the AccurioLabel 230, enabling the company to now offer
a complete end-to-end label solution in the market. It says the GM unit’s compatibility with the AL230 offers speed, quality, better registration, productivity, and stability.
Sue Threlfo, general manager, production & industrial print, Konica Minolta Australia, said, “The Konica Minolta team is so excited
to be engaging face to face for the first time since before the pandemic at such a large format event with customers in the print, label, and packaging market at PacPrint.

the opportunity once again to show them first-hand the new innovations we can bring to their business. The team will show attendees how Konica Minolta’s superior support, diverse product offering, and innovative finishing and embellishment options, can help them evolve and thrive beyond today.
