Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA (Konica Minolta) 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.” In North America, the company is on target to reach 2,000 installations in FY2025.
The report highlighted several strengths of Konica Minolta’s label-printing portfolio. The company was recognized for its Marketing Assurance Program, which provides ongoing business development support to help print service providers identify and enter new markets.
The report also noted the simplicity and configurability of the AccurioLabel series, which can be equipped with optional finishing for more automated production. Konica Minolta offers its own IC-605 digital front end and also partners to provide a Creo controller option for both the AccurioLabel 230 and AccurioLabel 400.
The AccurioLabel devices were cited for their compact footprint and strong production capabilities, as well as their low power consumption. The presses use Konica Minolta’s HDE toner, which lowers fusing temperatures and contributes to reduced energy costs.
“Being named a Leader by the IDC MarketScape reaffirms our commitment to driving innovation and customer success,” said Frank Mallozzi, president, IPP, Konica Minolta. “Our AccurioLabel portfolio continues to empower print providers to achieve higher productivity, superior quality and 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 engineer solutions that make digital production smarter and more accessible,” added Mallozzi. “With the AccurioLabel’s trusted performance and advanced design, we’re enabling printers to innovate faster and capture new business opportunities.”
