Konica Minolta has announced the official launch of a new high-speed line of hybrid UV LED wide-format printers. The widest spec AccurioWide 320HS option offers a print width of up to 3.2 metres (126″), UV LED curing and a six-colour plus white ink configuration for high-impact applications, to support a broad range of indoor and outdoor needs. Other models in the range include the AccurioWide 250HS (2.5 metres / 98” print width) and AccurioWide 200HS (2 metres / 80” print width).

The models include continuous board printing for increased throughput, with options for dedicated dual-roll printing and media guides ideal for warped substrates such as corrugated board.

Jason Dizzine, Vice President, Portfolio Management and Planning, Konica Minolta US, says: “Since entering the wide-format market with the AccurioWide 160 and 200 in 2018, we’ve made tremendous strides in delivering the performance our customers demand. As their businesses have grown, their need for bigger, faster and more efficient solutions has only intensified. We answered that call with the AccurioWide 250 in 2023, expanding both speed and width while maintaining a reliable core platform. Today, we’re elevating that commitment even further with this new high-speed series – purpose-built to give customers the productivity, versatility and confidence they need to take on bigger opportunities, enhance efficiency and unlock new revenue.”

Delivering the fastest speeds in the AccurioWide product family, the AccurioWide 320HS prints up to 22 4′ x 8′ boards per hour in production mode, and up to 43 boards per hour in express mode. Usability enhancements include a redesigned interface and control panel, along with a new safety hood that covers the print belt and shuttle to reduce potential operator risk.

Konica Minolta’s efficient four-pass print mode maintains high image quality while reducing ink consumption, positioning it as a leader in eco-conscious wide-format technology. AccurioWide inks carry GREENGUARD GOLD certification for low chemical emissions and have recently been reformulated to remove TPO – further reducing environmental impact and supporting healthier work environments. Added to this enhanced sustainability offering, UV LED lamps enable printing on a wider variety of substrates while reducing energy usage, time and operational costs.
