The fierce competition and the current economic situation have forced United Colors Team to change its strategy: To develop its business, executives decided to invest in infrastructure in order to be able to achieve international standards to shift their business from local to international. The advertising market is constantly demanding innovations, and United Colors Team offers premium products, professionally made and meet customers deadlines.

As a trusted partner of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Romania, United Colors Team had the AccurioPress C14000 installed this year, in September, and managed so far to print over 250,000 pages per month. This has brought benefits to the company both in terms of profit and return of investment made in the high-volume production printing system.

Because the core business of this company is advertising and includes brand printed materials,  the AccurioPress C14000 was the perfect choice for United Colors Team. The new Konica Minolta technology was chosen after a thorough analysis of the market, thanks to the more than favorable production costs and innovative technology existing on the high-volume production printing system - AccurioPress C14000, to the detriment of the products developed by the competition.

The printing technology and toner used by the AccurioPress C14000 make the difference to be imperceptible between digital and offset. With a combination of features such as print settings, an unique real-time checking system and a unique real-time checking system and an automatic color control unit - IQ-501 -  the AccurioPress C14000 offers high-quality prints that stands out for maximum stability throughout high volume works.
Konica Minolta’s IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Care Technology enhanced auto inspection options. High-quality prints are being ensured even through long-run jobs with better registration and quality. The new presses offers a highly reliable duty cycle of 2.5 million, doubling the toner capacity of earlier models. AccurioPress C14000 from Konica Minolta has contributed to increase the value of the United Colors Team business by creating new development opportunities.
