Konica Minolta Showcase at The Print Show
Konica Minolta Business Solutions will be focusing on how business can accelerate growth through high value diversification in commercial print at The Print Show 2026, with emphasis on creative print applications, the potential of integrating labelling into their portfolio and workflow automation.
At the heart of the stand at the show will be Konica Minolta’s next‑generation production platform, the AccurioPress C5080 Series, that enables commercial printers to increase throughput, reduce manual touchpoints and expand their application range. Through live demonstrations, visitors will experience how the system’s automation, media flexibility and colour consistency supports higher‑margin work to increase profitability, while automating production for more efficient production environments.
Konica Minolta will also showcase the creative potential of the AccurioPress C14010S and Colour Logic software technologies, demonstrating how printers can produce premium, high‑impact applications using white toner, metallic effects and coloured substrates.
With demand for short‑run and customised labels continuing to rise, Konica Minolta will present a complete, commercially viable label production workflow featuring the AccurioLabel platform, alongside finishing solutions from GM and Morgana. This will be a must visit for any commercial printer looking to diversify into labels and wanting to understand how they can integrate label production into their existing operations with minimal disruption.
Alongside hardware demonstrations, the stand will highlight Konica Minolta’s growing partner ecosystem, including Fiery, to show how integrated workflows and automation can streamline production, reduce errors and improve profitability. Visitors will be able to explore how data‑driven automation supports faster turnaround times and more predictable output.
Jon Hiscock, Head of Production and Industrial Print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, comments:
“Commercial printers today are facing market challenges such as margin pressure, shorter run lengths, and increasing demand for customisation and the need for greater automation. Therefore, many commercial printers are looking for practical ways to increase profitability, improve efficiency and expand their service offering. Our focus at The Print Show is to demonstrate real opportunities – from automation and workflow optimisation through to premium print applications and label production – that can help businesses grow sustainably and meet these challenges.”
