Flexibility
Stable handling capable of handling a wide variety of paper types.
AccurioPress quickly takes care of a wide variety of orders thanks to its extensive
media compatibility and delivers the prints making use of paper characteristics. The
outstanding paper conveyance technology ensures stable operation to maximise
production capabilities.
Full range of paper profiles and search function
Paper Catalogue Function
AccurioPress is furnished with paper profiles recommended by Konica Minolta
matched with user environment. Settings matched to paper can be selected as
default values. In addition, the system features an improved search function for
items such as required paper settings and registered settings, simplifying paper
settings to enhance production ratios and enabling printing with optimum conditions
to match each paper type.
Optimum use of paper
A3 Full-bleed Printing
AccurioPress is compatible with a maximum paper size of 330 x 487mm and a
maximum printing area of 323 x 480mm. As well, of course, as full-bleed A3 size
printing with registration marks, the system is also capable of duplex A4 printing with
registration marks.
Improved thin-paper feeding capability by enhanced air power
Air Blow Fusing Separation Mechanism
Air is blown to the area around the fusing nip to prevent the paper from sticking
around the roller. This also increases conveyance performance, greatly enhancing
separation performance for thin sheets of paper. Air volume can be set automatically
or manually according to paper type.
Stable paper conveyance
Air Suction Belt Paper Feed System [PF-707]
*Optional
[PF-707] is a paper feeder unit that incorporates a suction function. The air-assist
function blows air from the sides and front to separate sheets, which are then
adsorbed onto the suction belt for conveyance. Optimised air control matched to the
paper types eliminates paper damage and realises stable feeding, even of thick and
coated sheets.
Furnished with curling correction and anti-static functions
Hybrid Decurler
*Optional
Mounted in RU-509
A hybrid curling correction system can be configured combining Relay Unit [RU-509],
which employs a standard mechanical decurler, with optional Humidifier Kit
[HM-102]. Optimum paper curling correction can be realised by using the mechanical
decurler for coated sheets and the humidifying curler for non-coated sheets. The
degree of decurling can be adjusted manually and responds flexibly to changes in
conditions.
Mechanical Decurler
Relay Unit [RU-509] feeds paper through a zigzag passage that reduces paper curls.
Decurling strength can be adjusted in five steps for optimal curl removal from types
such as thin and thick paper.
Humidifier Type Decurler*1
In addition to removing curls from uncoated paper by humidification, the Humidifier
Type Decurler controls paper adsorption by removing heat and minimising static
electricity.
Productivity
High-speed input and output and realisation of short delivery-time service in any
scenario.
Improved daily work efficiency.
Envisaging a wide range of purposes, Konica Minolta aims to realise overall short
delivery-time and high-quality printing services by improving the efficiency and
speed of all tasks.
Productivity to meet short turnaround
Production Speed of 71 ppm
High productivity of 71 ppm*1 for both colour and monochrome printing (A4
landscape). Items such as A3 size booklets and small-size contents imposition data
can also be output quickly at a speed of 38 ppm*1.
* For 62 to 176 gsm paper using C2070.
Ample printing support with high-capacity paper feeding
Max. 7,500-sheets Paper Feeding Capacity
Mounting 2-level Paper Feeder Unit [PF-602m]*1 in addition to the main unit tray
with a paper-feeding capacity of 1,500 sheets realises a maximum paper-feeding
capacity of 7,500 sheets. As well the high-capacity paper-feeding capacity, the ability
to replenish paper stock during operation keeps downtime to a minimum. Five
paper-feeding options are available for selection to match the scale and applications.
* 1: Optional
* Using 80 gsm paper for all units.
Realisation of high registering accuracy
Correction of Skew and Image Rotation
Image rotation and skew correction values are input and front-to-back registration
adjusted, enabling even greater ease of adjustment for items such as business cards,
shop cards and tickets that require a high level of front-to-back registering accuracy.
Adjustments can be performed in a short time without the need for any special skills.
Scanning function for front-to-back registration and Density balance correction
The front and back adjustment function uses a scanner*1 to automatically adjust the
front and back positions. Elements such as front and back positions and
magnification during duplex printing can be corrected with no need for
measurements using a scale. The entire operation can be performed on the main
unit panel and the results of correction can be saved, realising a major improvement
in registration adjustment work. In addition, scanning of dedicated charts enables
automatic correction of in-surface density unevenness, eliminating the need for
density measurement and ensuring high quality print in less time.
Enhanced print position accuracy
High-accuracy Registration Mechanism
Registration swing mechanism capable of highly-accurate detection of paper
misalignment and skew helps realise a professional and accurate finish of duplex
printing, which is highly demanded in the following processes including trimming and
bookbinding. The mechanism also automatically corrects paper-feeding
misalignment in the main unit tray, contributing to improve quality in addition to
higher productivity.
High-speed scanning
High-speed Auto-duplex Scanner
*Optional
Capable of simultaneous 1-pass reading of both sides, DF-706*1 delivers high-speed
scanning of 240 opm*2 for both full colour and monochrome originals. With a
maximum loading capacity of 300 sheets (64gsm), DF-706 realises speedy data
creation. In addition, the scanner is equipped with a multi-feed detection function to
enable efficient work with fewer errors.
*1: Mountable in C2070/C2060. *2: For A4, 300dpi

a contour enhancement processing function that improves raggedness of
dot-background outline characters and characters in intermediate colours to realise
top-class level character quality and legibility.
Flexible Screen Processing
Furnished with a total of 12 types of screen; 6 dot screens, 3 line screens and 3 FM
screens available for use matched to applications and purpose such as proof output,
photograph printing and moire suppression.
Even more reliable colour reproducibility
Auto-calibration System
required option RU-509 & IC-603A
The output paper density adjustment function corrects gradation density to match
output paper characteristics. Adjustments are performed using the paper actually
used to enable accurate gradation adjustment that matches the paper characteristics.
A mode that measures RGB as well as CMYK as target colours has been added to
further enhance the accuracy.
Reduced image deterioration maintains image quality
Auto-refining Developing System
A new carrier is supplied together with the toner to refresh the developer, stabilising
the developer condition to maintain high image quality throughout the system
lifetime. The longer developer life also minimises downtime.
Improved colour reproduction stability
Real-time Image Stabilisation Control
This function controls image stability in short intervals during continuous printing by
detecting density correction patches and dot diameter correction patches created on
the intermediate transfer belt with the IDC sensor, delivering stable high quality for a
wide range of densities through 2 types of density calibration.
* Operates only when the image stability priority setting is enabled.
Print Controller
Creation of an ideal workflow that satisfies both quality and short turnaround.
AccurioPress is compatible with advanced controllers that feature improved
functions and processing speed, and can be selected to meet needs. Sophisticated
linkage with the main unit makes it possible to utilise output performance to the full
to realise highly-efficient operation and stable finish.

AccurioPro HotFolder
AccurioPress is equipped with a hot-folder utility that further enhances work
efficiency and is ideal for automatic processing of items such as documents that need
to be printed regularly and documents that can only be handled by specific printing
processing. The hot-folder utility contributes to manpower-saving for job registration
work and to reduction of man-hours for the operation.
Seamless Offset Printing connectivity through JDF Compatibility
Compatible with JDF, a format for the display and transfer of jobs between printing
processes. Interactive connectivity with major CTP workflow RIPs such as APOGEE,
EQUIOS and Prinergy*1 makes it possible for the operator to use familiar CTP
