Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000

The Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000 is the top sheet-fed digital color production press in the AccurioPress C-series, built for commercial print shops and high-volume in-plants producing 700,000 to 2,000,000 color clicks per month. It prints at 140 ppm color and mono on substrates from 62 to 450 gsm, supports SRA3+ at 13x19.2 inches, and handles long sheets up to 35.4 inches for direct-mail panels and short-run banners. The press shares its chassis with the C12000 — same media handling, same finishing options, same controller choices (EFI Fiery, Creo, or Konica IC) — and the optional IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer closes the loop on density, registration, and color profile inline. Standard online paper supply is up to 7,500 sheets, expandable with additional feeders. The 15-inch operator panel walks job programming and color setup. The thing buyers actually like: the speed bump from the C12000 is genuine and IQ-501 cuts color-management labor on long runs. The thing buyers regret: under-volume leasing — the C14000 is sized for shops that can feed it. Sold through KM Production Print dealers only; plan on operator training, service contracts, and 3-phase power.
