Langenhagen, Germany | 9 December 2024

Streamlined workflows, precision color management, and advanced new features set a new standard in print production

Print professionals can now deliver enhanced exceptional quality, precision, and consistency with ease following the launch of the new version of AccurioPro Color Manager Suite (APCM2).



Konica Minolta’s APCM2 Suite delivers a holistic approach to color management, addressing the needs of even the most intricate production environments. Whether creating precise color profiles, performing verification checks, or maintaining color consistency across media types, this advanced and comprehensive solution provides the tools necessary for efficient and effective print operations. It simplifies complex workflows and elevates print production. 

APCM2 Suite from Konica Minolta includes these new features:  

  1. Tone Curve Adjustment: This advanced tool provides unparalleled control over brightness, contrast, and other key color settings. Users can fine-tune presets or customize any print job directly from the Konica Minolta controller, ensuring every output meets the highest quality standards. This feature eliminates the need for complex profile edits, streamlining workflows while delivering tailored results that exceed customer expectations. 
  2. Alternative Colors: Designed for businesses seeking precision and consistency, Alternative Colors allows users to define and maintain unique brand colors by inputting CMYK or RGB values or selecting from existing spot colors. Fine-tuning selections with printed charts provide exact color matching every time, ensuring brand integrity across all print materials. 
  3. Point Color Adjustment: With the fine-tuning feature for Device Link Profiles, users can make precise color adjustments directly within the profile. This eliminates guesswork, simplifies complex workflows, and ensures unparalleled color accuracy, helping print professionals achieve vibrant, consistent results in every job. 

The new version of the suite integrates seamlessly with Konica Minolta's cutting-edge IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer and other external measurement devices, ensuring a unified, efficient approach to color management. Its wizard-based interface simplifies setup, enabling users to achieve optimal engine performance and replicate desired colors with unmatched accuracy. 

“The enhancements in AccurioPro Color Manager 2 Suite are designed to empower businesses to rethink and achieve both efficiency and excellence in their print production workflows,” said Karl-Friedrich Edenhuizen, Product Manager Color Devices, Konica Minolta.
