Ramsey, NJ (May 10, 2021)<\/em> \u2014 Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Inc. (Konica Minolta) is proud to announce it has received a Buyers Lab (BLI) 2021 PRO Award from Keypoint Intelligence, the world\u2019s leading and independent evaluator of document imaging hardware, software and services. Granted annually, these awards acknowledge the products that gave the best performances in production field testing over the previous year. Konica Minolta\u2019s AccurioPress C14000 with EFI Fiery IC-319 Controller took top honors in the Outstanding High-Volume CMYK Production Device High-Volume Category and was identified as a trailblazer in the digital production marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKonica Minolta\u2019s innovative IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer has impressed us since its launch, allowing for quick, best practice color setup and media-registration profiling, with inline checking and adjustment tolerances controllable by the operator,\u201d said David Sweetnam, director of EMEA\/Asia research and lab services at Keypoint Intelligence. \u201cThis technology helped the device deliver an outstanding performance over our production-length tests where, over 67,000 clicks, the device never drifted above DeltaE00 3.4, nor did it exhibit an image-registration shift of more than 0.3 mm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key technology innovation noted by Keypoint Intelligence that separates the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000 from its peers is the new TU-510 Versatile Trimmer Unit. This inline, four-edge trimmer and creaser allows full-bleed finishing support for banners, booklets, direct mail and a dedicated business card cutting option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are extremely pleased to have made such a successful entry into the high-volume toner printing segment with the C14000 Series, affirmed by this honor from Keypoint Intelligence,\u201d said Dino Pagliarello, senior vice president, product management and planning, Konica Minolta. \u201cThe IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer is our differentiator in the market and allows us to take color consistency and registration accuracy to the next level for our customers. We are tremendously proud to be recognized for this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The C14000 Series has won numerous awards since its launch in late 2019, including the \u201cGood Design Award 2020\u201d from the Japan Institute of Design Promotion, the \u201cRed Dot Award: Product Design 2021,\u201d and most recently the iF DESIGN AWARD 2021, from the Hannover-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, the world\u2019s oldest independent design forum. In addition, earlier this year both the AccurioPress C14000 and C12000 achieved two Idealliance certifications \u2013 the Digital Electrophotographic Press Certification and ISO\/PAS 15339 System Certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
