A long-time supporter of the show, Konica Minolta will this year have its largest presence at The Print Show, with plans in place to display a range of kit on its huge stand at the centre of Hall 1 of the NEC. One of the highlights on Stand P410 will be the new AccurioPress C5080 Series, which the manufacturer says reduces operational complexity and enables faster and more efficient productivity for print service providers (PSPs). Printing at speeds of up to 81 pages per minute, the entry-level device has been designed to help customers take their first steps towards long-term success in digital print production. It will replace the AccurioPress C4080 Series. “The AccurioPress C5080 Series sets a new benchmark for entry-level production print, delivering superb colour quality, rapid turnaround, reduced waste, and consistently reliable performance,” says Malcolm Smith, category manager professional print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK). “It’s designed to make high-quality digital print accessible, intuitive, and efficient from day one. With smart automation, simple set-up, and the trusted reliability of Konica Minolta technology, these systems give customers, whether public and private sector inplants or commercial printers, the freedom to expand their print capabilities, explore new revenue opportunities, and build a strong platform for future success.” The AccurioPress C5080 is being offered alongside the new AccurioPress C5070, which has a speed of 71 pages per minute, and the AccurioPrint C5065, which runs at a speed of 65 pages per minute. All three devices were made available to purchase from May – with The Print Show the first, large-scale opportunity for UK professionals to see the new C5080 in action. Showcasing new technology forms part of Konica Minolta’s wider strategy at The Print Show this year which is to help visitors find fresh inspiration and ‘feel the difference’. With almost three times the amount of space on the show floor than last year’s event, the manufacturer says an expert team will be on hand to help printers seize new opportunities and thrive in areas including cut-sheet production and workflow automation, as well as digital label production. “The message is clear – the market is shifting, and print businesses need partners who can help them to evolve,” says Jon Hiscock, head of production and industrial print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK), adding: “This year, our aim is to continue inspiring visitors with our innovative technologies and help them to explore new market opportunities. “Ultimately, we want to enable print businesses and their customers to really feel the difference.” Chris Davies, event director of The Print Show, adds: “The stand is a must-visit for first-time and returning visitors, wanting to learn about the latest technologies from a true professional print pioneer.” Konica Minolta says all models can be configured with a range of options, workflows, and finishing capabilities By Rob Fletcher Konica Minolta hands UK trade show debut to AccurioPress C5080 | NEWS [L to R] Jon Hiscock, head of production & industrial print at Konica Minolta UK, and Chris Davies, event director at The Print Show
