A new addition to Konica Minolta's UV inkjet range: the AccurioJet 30000. This B2+ sheetfed press, which will be available from June, takes the mechanical base of the KM-1e, but pushes the boundaries of precision, consistency and automation, with a series of expected upgrades to the head, RIP and media management.
The AccurioJet 30000, duplex press for a variety of substrates
Designed for full-day operation, the UV-cured AccurioJet 30000 can print 3,000 sheets per hour with automatic duplexing. It handles paper weights from 60 to 600 microns, with no need for special operator adjustments, as well as textured paper, cardboard, synthetic, metallized or translucent substrates, without manual adjustment of settings or intervention on the makeready.
An AccurioJet with enhanced precision
The AccurioJet 30000 is based on a new print head, the HM201, which improves jet uniformity across the width, thanks to improved thermal regulation. A high-definition mode can be activated on demand to optimize rendering of sensitive solids and fine details. The press also incorporates a spectrophotometer and substrate sensors, enabling automatic color correction during production. This continuous regulation guarantees consistency from one print run to the next, without machine downtime.
Data processing has also been enhanced. The new RIP, combined with optimized CPU/memory architecture, speeds up file preparation. A PreRIP function eliminates downtime during makeready. At the same time, the inter-color mist recovery system reduces maintenance requirements, by limiting parasitic deposits in the print zone.
Direct integration into production workflows
The AccurioJet 30000 can be integrated into existing production workflows. The Inkjet Manager enables the press to be controlled within an offset or mixed environment, with no logical disruption for operators.
Connection to third-party finishing modules is planned right from the design stage, via a dedicated online interface.
In terms of maintenance, the machine can be partially operated without external technical assistance. A remote support service is also available.
