AccurioJet KM-1

Challenge

With digital book production a big growth trend in a highly competitive world of book publishing, Totem.com. pl saw important new business opportunities by replacing toner systems and moving offset work to the Konica Minolta’s AccurioJet KM-1 B2 inkjet printer. The big challenges were ensuring super-high quality, achieving improvement efficiencies and a highly stable colour reproduction on a wider variety of substrates. Totem.com.pl needed a machine and back-up support to extend its range of services for customers, two being augmented reality (AR) and real print on demand. From a profitability point of view, generating lower production costs was also a requirement.
 

Solution

Part of rigorous testing over more than two years involved printing the most difficult substrates on Konica Minolta and competitor systems. Only the AccurioJet KM-1 delivered fast, high resolution, stable quality, reliable and consistently on the widest range of media. The machine, which is largely powered by Konica Minolta’s unique Dot Freeze Technology™, is essentially using the same technology as offset, printing offset-like quality with superior stability on a much broader spectrum of both uncoated and coated stocks. Not only paper, but also different kinds of plastics – all delivering ‘uncompromised quality’.

Since we have this uncompromised quality now, we can compete directly with offset printers. The new possibilities that the KM-1 gives help us gain many new publishers. The whole Konica Minolta team – from our local Polish contacts through to European and Tokyo headquarter teams – have provided fantastic support. It’s been a true partnership.
