Explore the Opportunity of the Label and Packaging Market For label, packaging and commercial printing markets, Konica Minolta (Booth 1801) is expanding on its capability with the recent product launches of the bizhub PRESS C71cf digital label press and the AccurioJet KM-1 high speed inkjet press. The recent additional investment into MGI, to further offer digital printing and decorative print technologies with products such as MGI JV 3DW, Konica Minolta is poised to assist these markets with unique and innovative products. The Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS c71cf is the solution for label printing. The need for digital printing technology for the label industry is apparent. Customer demands for shorter job runs cannot be sustained on a traditional fl exographic press. The number of jobs printed per shift is increasing as well as personalization and customization and digital printing technology will assist with the changing market conditions. To compliment the label printing process, the MGI JV 3DW digital fi nisher will add spot UV, 2D/3D, and Hot Foil enhancements in a 100% digital format to printed rolls of labels. No dies or screens to setup, just all digital workfl ow. This will allow convertors and brand owners unique applications; like variable data foil labels or spot varnished labels, providing an improved high quality label with tremendous value. For high end commercial printers, the Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1 high speed cut sheet inkjet press will help with commercial printing and light folding carton packaging applications. With the Konica Minolta UV ink technology, larger than B2 size sheet format, will allow for new applications with a wide range for substrates that can’t be reached with toner based technologies. The need to expand to larger digital formats with variable data printing allows applications that cannot be done with most traditional offset presses. 58 | September 25, 2016 | GRAPH EXPO 16 Offi cial Show Daily | PrintingNews.com
