Konica Minolta’s AccurioWide 250 has dramatically transformed print production capabilities for the Iowa State Fair, who describes the speed as “overwhelming.” This leap in efficiency has been transformative, especially during fair season when the print shop faces nonstop rapid-fire requests. Because the print shop serves repeat customers with familiar needs, their workflow is highly optimized. Konica Minolta’s technology has allowed them to gain back significant time, meet high-volume demands with ease, and deliver consistent, high-quality results under pressure. Operators who sometimes double as graphic designers now have more time to devote to layout and design.

The introduction of the new devices has significantly enhanced operational efficiency and productivity, while also delivering notable financial savings. Beyond the financial impact, the workload is considerably less mentally and physically demanding, with a notable decrease in required hours to complete tasks. Material costs have been substantially reduced thanks to the streamlined process, eliminating the need for masking materials and adhesive vinyl, and enabling direct printing materials and adhesive vinyl, and enabling direct printing onto Coroplast.

“Our relationship with Konica Minolta has been excellent. Their team is consistently responsive and supportive whenever we need assistance. The installation and training processes were seamless, and the transition has been smooth for everyone involved. We’ve had a great experience – no complaints!”
