Sydney, Australia, 20th January 2026: Konica Minolta Business Solutions has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide High-Speed Digital Label Printers 2025 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US51812724e, August 2025).
The report notes, “The high-speed digital label printer market is undergoing the same type of digital transformation we have seen in other segments of the printing market, with a portion of the total label volume moving from analog to digital production based on digital printing’s economic advantages for short runs. The demand for digital production is based on a move to shorter runs and on-demand production to impact consumer decisions and eliminate waste.”
According to the IDC MarketScape, “Over that time, Konica Minolta has placed more than 1,700 of its toner-based label presses, which have found a “sweet spot” in the digital label press market with their combination of quality and productivity.” The report recognized Konica Minolta for the following strengths:
- Konica Minolta offers ongoing business development support, which helps print service providers identify and expand into new markets.
- The Konica Minolta AccurioLabel is a simple device, configurable with optional finishing for more automated production.
- Konica Minolta offers its own IC-605 digital front end and partners to offer a Creo controller as an option for either the AccurioLabel 230 or AccurioLabel 400.
- The AccurioLabel is a smaller device, requiring less of a footprint while maintaining robust production capabilities.
- The AccurioLabel presses offer low power consumption through Konica Minolta’s advanced HDE toner, which lowers fusing temperature, also saving on energy costs.
“Being recognised by the IDC MarketScape as a Leader reinforces our focus on innovation and delivering meaningful outcomes for customers,” said Andrew Cocker, General Manager of Industrial and Production Print at Konica Minolta. “Our AccurioLabel range continues to support print providers in lifting productivity, enhancing quality and driving more sustainable, profitable growth.”
Konica Minolta’s AccurioLabel 230 and AccurioLabel 400 presses are designed to meet these demands with exceptional productivity, precision, and energy efficiency. The AccurioLabel 400 delivers resolutions up to 3,600 x 2,400 dpi, supports white toner printing, and features low power consumption through Konica Minolta’s advanced HDE toner technology.
“We continue to develop solutions that make digital production smarter and easier to adopt,” said Andrew Cocker, Konica Minolta Australia. “With the AccurioLabel’s reliable performance and advanced design, and our strong focus on supporting customers, we are helping printers accelerate innovation and unlock new commercial opportunities.”
