Features Digital Printing Printing
Konica Minolta, Memjet collaborate for digital presses

A new collaboration between Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. and Memjet aims to create affordable digital label and print-on-demand packaging solutions for the North American market.

Combining Memjet’s printing technology with Konica Minolta hardware, they explain, will result in the creation of digital inkjet print and labeling solutions that deliver the speed, quality and affordable cost of ownership that print and label providers need to succeed in today’s changing markets. These solutions will be showcased at the upcoming Labelexpo Americas 2018, Print 18, and SGIA Expo 2018.

“The responsive nature of digital interactions has reshaped customer expectations,” said Kevin Kern, senior vice president of business intelligence services and product planning at Konica Minolta. “Today’s consumers expect sophisticated, customized communications each time they interact with a brand — even smaller brands with modest budgets. The collaboration between Konica Minolta and Memjet empowers that type of connection, making economical, high quality, customized printing a reality for print and label providers of all sizes.”

At Labelexpo and SGIA, Konica Minolta will showcase these new digital presses for labels and packaging powered by Memjet.
