Konica Minolta’s AccurioJet KM-1e press has passed tests by INGEDE, the International Association of the Deinking Industry, for the deinking of coated and uncoated paper printed on the system, enabling such papers to go into the recycling process.

Deinking is the removal process of printing ink from recovered paper during recycling. Key process steps for deinking are the detachment of ink film from the paper, ink fragmentation into a suitable size range and removal from the pulp slurry.

Konica Minolta’s digital inkjet B2+ sheetfed UV colour inkjet, which has been referred to as the Swiss Army Knife of printing because it has so many uses, already has the INGEDE deinking confirmations for coated paper, including even recycled qualities. After rigorous testing and evaluation of coated and uncoated paper by INGEDE, the KM-1e press achieved a high rating in the “Assessment of Print Product Recyclability – Deinkability Test” (INGEDE Method 11) for simplex prints.

This is another positive boost for customers, according to Hidetoshi Omo, Head of Competence KM-1 at Konica Business Solutions Europe.

We are proud to have received this confirmation from INGEDE for the Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1e, which rewards a great deal of hard work and inspiration from our development teams, and underpins our commitment to sustainability. The AccurioJet KM-1e is a press that enables almost endless possibilities for printing on a vast range of different substrates, and with so few digital presses having achieved this deinking standard, the press stands out even more from the competition now, giving our customers greater possibilities to grow their businesses in a sustainable way.
