Konica Minolta Business Solutions India, a leader in imaging and business solutions, successfully concluded its showcase at the Consumer Electronics Imaging Fair (CEIF) 2026, held from January 16 to 18, 2026. The company demonstrated advanced digital printing technologies designed to support the evolving needs of professional photography, wedding albums, and premium print applications.
The three-day exhibition witnessed strong engagement from photo studios, print service providers, and industry professionals, who experienced live demonstrations of Konica Minolta’s production printing and embellishment solutions. The demonstrations highlighted colour accuracy, production stability, and value-added finishing, with a clear focus on applications relevant to the photography and photo album segment.
A major attraction at the booth was the AccurioPress C84hc, featuring Konica Minolta’s proprietary High Chroma toner technology with a color gamut closer to sRGB. The system drew significant interest for its ability to deliver an expanded colour gamut with richer reds, deeper blues, and smoother tonal gradation, making it especially suitable for wedding photography and high-end photo books where colour precision and visual depth are critical.
Also showcased was the AccurioPress C7100 ENHANCED, a versatile production press designed for handling diverse print applications with consistent colour output and improved automation. Visitors observed how the system supports stable production across short and medium runs while maintaining quality on a wide range of media.
Complementing the production presses, the MGI AccurioShine 3600 with iFoil demonstrated digital spot UV and foiling capabilities that enable premium embellishment without traditional dies or screens. The solution generated strong interest among photo album manufacturers and print businesses seeking to enhance visual appeal and offer differentiated, high-value products.
