Konica Minolta Installs AccurioLabel 230 Press at Growing Digital Printer
2024年7月30日 - 10:37PM
Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta)
today announced the installation of its AccurioLabel 230 digital
label press at LandmarkPrint in Stamford, Connecticut.
LandmarkPrint is a leading provider of integrated digital print
production services, promotional signage and displays to customers
in the tri-state area. The company’s specialties include offset and
digital production printing, large-format graphics and event
signage as well as personalized direct mail and fulfillment
services, all available through online ordering with national
distribution.
A new client to Konica Minolta and to roll-fed labels,
LandmarkPrint had experience printing labels on cut sheets and its
own wide-format device. As Founding Principal Carmine Iannacchino
began investigating label-converting as a more significant revenue
stream, he gained insight on the industry’s considerable projected
growth rate. After reviewing recommendations from its many contacts
in the industry, LandmarkPrint reached out to Konica Minolta.
Iannacchino visited Konica Minolta’s Client Engagement Center at
its U.S. Headquarters in Ramsey, New Jersey. He quickly saw
investment in label production as an opportunity to enhance current
customer relationships, add to LandmarkPrint’s portfolio of
services and increase revenue, a sentiment backed by industry
projections. A recent Keypoint Intelligence report confirms the
growth of this market, projecting a CAGR of 11.7% for digital label
press volume worldwide from 2021-2026.
Konica Minolta label presses are highly productive and
operator-friendly. LandmarkPrint’s new equipment was installed late
in 2023 and operators were trained on-site over three days. The
press’ touchscreen enables intuitive operation and is easy to use,
eliminating the need for extensive user training. In addition to
the AccurioLabel 230, LandmarkPrint purchased Konica Minolta’s
AccurioPro Flux front-end software to impose jobs accurately, as
well as the GM Nano Diecut/Finisher to convert the labels.
Konica Minolta’s sales and service teams were instrumental in
bolstering LandmarkPrint’s label business development and sales
training. LandmarkPrint was able to benefit from Konica Minolta’s
size and scope, its access to local service and the convenience of
using one vendor for the entire transaction.
“Konica Minolta’s application experts have so much industry
experience, assisting us with everything from the right questions
to ask customers to creating an estimating software tool where we
can enter specs based on the press to calculate an estimate – no
pen and paper anymore!” said Iannacchino. “Another great decision
was going with a toner-based machine. While we did consider inkjet
technology, we concluded it was more complex to run and required
special treated materials.”
LandmarkPrint reports the quality and turnaround from the
AccurioLabel 230 is ‘fantastic.’ Some customers had been waiting
several weeks to receive orders, but with its new press, jobs are
produced in a matter of days. LandmarkPrint easily converted a
small room to house the reasonably-sized equipment, and has one
operator running two machines.
“We are well-known for our fast turnaround time in our
traditional business, and partnering with Konica Minolta on label
printing technology has allowed us to provide that same fast-turn
time for labels,” added
Iannacchino.
“As we continue to invest in this growth area by delivering
technology that is faster, easier to run and more automated than
ever to create efficiencies for our clients, we are thrilled to
have another printer join us in embracing labeling,” said Jason
Dizzine, Vice President, Portfolio Management and Planning, Konica
Minolta. “We welcome LandmarkPrint to the Konica Minolta family and
into the label business, where we foresee them achieving remarkable
success.”
Konica Minolta’s AccurioLabel presses offer affordable entry to
high-quality digital printing. The AccurioLabel 230 prints
1200x1200 DPI at 77 feet/minute, on standard flexo material. The
highly flexible systems were developed to manage and deliver an
increasing number of small-to-medium print jobs in ever-shorter
processing times. Tasks that were time-consuming on analog machines
can be performed quickly and accurately to deliver consistent print
quality across the run. Learn more about Konica Minolta’s
