Konica Minolta unveils nextgeneration AccurioLabel Prototype at Labelexpo

With digital label production expanding at record speed, Konica Minolta today revealed at Labelexpo the first details of its new AccurioLabel Prototype, a system designed to push automation and productivity to new heights while addressing key industry challenges.

Building on the proven success of the AccurioLabel 230, Konica Minolta’s Prototype is positioned as the ideal solution for mid-range digital label production. It introduces an optional Intelligent Quality Optimiser (IQ) that simplifies workflows, enables longer print runs of up to 1,600 linear meters, and ensures color registration accuracy even at full speed (23.4m/min). Print resolution has also been raised to 1200 x 2400 dpi, offering sharper, more vibrant output.

Visitors to Labelexpo Europe (Hall 5, E61/5G60) — held at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, from September 16-19 — can see it alongside Konica Minolta’s full portfolio of digital label and packaging workflow solutions, showcased in partnership with MGI Digital Technology.

Other highlights include the AccurioLabel 230 (CMYK) for providers transitioning volumes from conventional to digital, the AccurioLabel 400 (CMYK + White), and MGI’s JETvarnish 3D Web 400 for digital embellishment. Also featured are the MGI Octopus Web for hybrid digital cutting and finishing, and the GM DC350Mini Basic for semi-rotary die-cutting and lamination.

Software demonstrations will spotlight AccurioPro Flux, AccurioPro Dashboard, and the IC-320L Creo controller, complemented by MGI’s Connect (Dashboard, Approve, Predict) and THE JETFORCE platforms.

This year also marks a decade since Konica Minolta entered the label market, during which time more than 1,700 presses have been installed worldwide.The recent IDC MarketScape: Worldwide High-Speed Digital Label Printers 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51812724, August 2025) noted, “Konica Minolta has offered the AccurioPress digital label presses since 2014. Over that time, Konica Minolta has placed more than 1,700 of its toner-based label presses, which have found a "sweet spot" in the digital label press market with its combination of quality and productivity.” Konica Minolta was also named a Leader in this report. Looking ahead, Konica Minolta is determined to harness the momentum of a booming market — forecast by analysts Smithers Pira1 to surge in 10 years by almost 60% to $20 billion by 2032.
