AccurioPress C14000

The C14000 is the machine Konica Minolta builds for shops that outgrew everything else in its catalog. It prints 140 A4 pages per minute — the fastest in the SRA3 toner class, with the C12000 sibling at 120 ppm — and around 80 ppm at full SRA3, imaging at 3600 x 2400 dpi with 8-bit multi-gradation processing. Sheet sizes reach 330.2 x 487.7 mm with long sheets to 1,300 mm simplex and 900 mm duplex.

It shares the IQ-501 real-time color and registration automation with the rest of the AccurioPress line, but at 140 ppm the economics compound: near-zero makeready across dozens of short jobs per shift is where this press earns its keep. Media handling runs 52-450 gsm and includes embossed and textured stock, stretching the machine into packaging-adjacent work — swing tags, heavy covers, presentation boxes.

The duty cycle is rated at 2.5 million prints per month, and the finishing line matches the ambition: inline perfect binding, saddle stitching and GBC punching let a central trade printer ship finished product around the clock. New systems configure at roughly USD 250,000-400,000 with IQ-501 and inline finishing, while low-meter used units trade at USD 90,000-180,000 — an interesting route for Vietnamese trade shops stepping up from a C7100 fleet.

The natural buyers are central trade printers, book-of-one producers, direct-mail and transpromo operations running multiple shifts — businesses where the press is the factory. In Vietnam's fast-consolidating trade-print sector, the C14000 is increasingly the hub machine that smaller shops' overflow work flows into.
