Konica Minolta launches ‘next evolution’ of popular AccurioLabel series 19 September 2026
Konica Minolta has launched the new AccurioLabel 231 digital label press, which the company describes as ‘the next evolution’ of its popular AccurioLabel Series. Aimed at small and medium-sized label converters, the new press has been designed to ‘open the door to the enhanced automation and improved colour consistency that has already seen more that 2000 AccurioLabel customer installations globally’.
Frank Mallozzi, President, Industrial and Production Print, Konica Minolta, says: “The AccurioLabel 231 reflects years of customer feedback and real-world production experience. What we consistently hear from customers is the need to keep presses running, reduce operator intervention and maintain quality under demanding production conditions. The AccurioLabel 231 is designed to help them do exactly that while creating more opportunities for profitable growth.”
Positioned as an entry- to mid-production solution, the AccurioLabel 231 is designed to maximise productive press time. The press extends maintenance intervals to twice those of the AccurioLabel 230 and nearly doubles its engine life, allowing production teams to spend more time printing and less time servicing equipment. Advanced automation and the introduction of Intelligent Quality Optimizer (IQ) technology help increase throughput, reduce waste and minimize production interruptions.
Konica Minolta’s IQ technology continuously monitors print performance and automatically corrects for variations that can occur during longer production runs. The result is consistent output with fewer manual adjustments, helping operators maintain quality while keeping production moving.
The press delivers production speeds of up to nearly 77 feet per minute and enhanced print resolution of 1,200 x 2,400 dpi, enabling sharper text, smoother gradients and more accurate colour reproduction across a wide range of label applications. Support for an expanded range of media and substrates gives converters greater flexibility to pursue new opportunities without compromising quality.
Underscoring Konica Minolta’s reputation for ease of use, the AccurioLabel 231 features an intuitive operating environment designed to simplify onboarding and support smooth integration into existing production workflows. As label producers continue to navigate skilled labour challenges, the platform’s automation and streamlined operation help shorten learning curves and reduce training requirements, making it easier to maintain productivity across shifts and operators.
The introduction of the AccurioLabel 231 further strengthens Konica Minolta’s digital label portfolio, providing customers with a scalable path from entry-level production through higher-volume applications. Together with the AccurioLabel 400, the platform gives converters, commercial printers and brand owners greater flexibility to align technology investments with application requirements and future growth.
