Konica Minolta's imaging printing technologies at CEIF 2025

Konica Minolta, a global leader in advanced imaging and business solutions, successfully concluded its participation at the Consumer Electronics Imaging Fair (CEIF) 2025, held from 9 to 11 January at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The company showcased its digital printing technologies and aims to transform the professional photography and production printing landscape.

Visitors experienced hands-on demonstrations of Konica Minolta's advanced printing solutions. The showcase included detailed presentations on technical specifications and capabilities, followed by guided walk-throughs of various application areas, particularly focusing on wedding photography and professional printing applications.

At CEIF 2025, Konica Minolta's AccurioPress C84hc/C74hc drew significant attention for its high-chroma technology, demonstrating exceptional color reproduction capabilities crucial for professional photography. The AccurioShine 3600 with inline foil gained substantial interest, particularly from wedding photographers and premium photo album producers, showcasing its sophisticated embellishment capabilities through live demonstrations.

Ashok Sethi, chief sales officer at Konica Minolta Business Solution India said, “The response at CEIF 2025 signals a clear shift in India's professional photography and printing landscape. What stood out was how the AccurioPress series resonated with traditional photo studios looking to expand their capabilities and new-age photographers seeking to offer premium services. The live demonstrations of our high-chroma technology created quite a buzz, particularly among wedding photographers who saw immediate applications for their high-value deliverables.”

“This exhibition has opened up exciting conversations about the future of photo printing in India, and we're already seeing strong interest in our AccurioShine 3600 with inline foil for premium photo albums. CEIF 2025 has not just been about showcasing technology, it's been about witnessing a transformation in how Indian photographers envision their business potential,” Sethi adds.

Manish Gupta, head of product lifecycle management and planning division said, "The feedback received during CEIF 2025 validates our product development strategy and market understanding. Konica Minolta is excited to share its technologies to print RGB applications using high-chroma toner technologies. The high-chroma toner technology provides users with better results in photo applications.”

According to Gupta, the response to Konica Minolta's IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer, particularly its automated color management capabilities, confirms that the company is addressing the right pain points in the professional photography workflow. He adds, “What's particularly encouraging is seeing how our solutions align with the evolving needs of the Indian market, especially in the premium wedding photography segment. This direct market interaction provides valuable insights that will shape our future product innovations and enhancements, ensuring we continue to meet the dynamic needs of professional photographers and print service providers."

The exhibition witnessed enthusiastic participation, with substantial visitor footfall at the Konica Minolta stand throughout the three-day event. The most popular were Accurio Press C84HC & Accurio Press C74HC for photo application. We demonstrated AccurioPress C12000 and C7100 demonstrations, coupled with the IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer, showcasing automated color management capabilities, drawing particular interest from commercial printing professionals.

For Konica Minolta, the conclusion of CEIF 2025 marks the beginning of new opportunities in India's evolving professional photography and printing industry. The response to the company's showcase confirms the industry's readiness to embrace solutions that combine precision with versatility, particularly in the wedding photography and high-end printing segments.

Konica Minolta launches KM800H-MR industrial inkjet printhead 

Konica Minolta has launched the KM800H-MR, which supports various inks with an internal heater, as a new product of the industrial inkjet printhead KM800 series featuring a long throw distance.

In the logistics industry, there is growing need for higher productivity due to an increase in cargo volumes. Compared to the method of attaching printed labels, direct printing using inkjet technology on industrial products, such as metals and wood, and other target objects, such as pharmaceuticals, food packaging, and corrugated cardboard, can increase the efficiency by reducing the downtime due to replacement of label rolls, and contributes to a lower environmental impact by reducing waste. 

Inkjet printing is also characterized by ease of design changes and production adjustments because the information to be printed can be changed flexibly. It is applicable to small lots, helping reduce inventory losses. Notably, piezo inkjet is suitable for high-resolution printing in small areas and printing of complex designs, such as 2D barcodes, because of its printing capabilities and high image quality.

Konica Minolta has been working on 'Improving fulfillment in work and corporate dynamism,' 'Addressing climate change,' and 'Using limited resources effectively' as its material issues through expansion of the inkjet printhead business, which contributes to higher efficiency of work processes and a lower environmental impact. Because this business can help reduce processes and handle small lots through direct printing on target objects in the logistics industry, Konica Minolta will further strengthen its capabilities to make proposals that contribute to higher productivity.

Values provided by the KM800H-MR

The KM800 series is characterized by long throw distance performance, which enables printing with high image quality on target objects 20 mm away from the printhead, and the ink jetting stability. The long throw distance enables printing even on base materials where the distance from the nozzles to the printing surface varies, such as curved and rough surfaces. The distance between printhead and material should be enough to reduce the chance of head strike or material collision with the printhead.

Equipped with an internal heater, the KM800H-MR achieves a long throw distance even for UV inks, which are more viscous than water-based inks at normal temperature. The ability to support UV inks enables printing on non-absorbing base materials, such as plastics, films, and paper containers, expanding the coding and marking applications to bottles, packages, pharmaceutical packaging, and medical supplies.

Inkjet jetting technology of  KM800 Series

High-resolution printing on curved and rough surfaces realized by superb long throw distance performance

In general, the throw distance is about 1 mm to 3 mm. The greater the distance, the lower the likelihood of inks being placed accurately on positions, resulting in low image quality. Konica Minolta’s long throw distance technology realizes excellent high-resolution printing of 2D barcodes and other designs even when the nozzles and target object are 20 mm apart.  It is also suitable for textile printing because the distance between the printhead and the printing surface can be maintained to avoid interference by fuzz. It is also expected to be applied to DTS  for direct printing on three-dimensional objects because the narrow width between nozzle rows enhances the printing performance on curved and rough surfaces.

Usability in various usage environments by vertical placement and color printing

In general, an inkjet printhead is placed horizontally to print in the direction perpendicular to the target object. When printing on the side of a target object in the transfer process, it is desirable to place an inkjet printhead vertically in some cases. However, vertical placement causes the jetting characteristics to vary between nozzles in the upper positions and those in the lower positions, resulting in lower image quality. The KM800 series can perform printing while maintaining the image quality through stable ink jetting even in the vertical placement by applying Konica Minolta’s nano-fabrication and driving technologies. The inkjet printhead also supports color printing and can be used for various applications, including embellishment. The series also features a compact product design to facilitate installation in printing equipment.
