The adoption of the Konica Minolta AccurioShine 3600 is enabling print providers across India to significantly transform their finishing capabilities. The innovative digital embellishment press is empowering businesses to offer high-value, premium finishing effects such as 2D and 3D gloss, and optional digital foiling—driving expansion into lucrative markets, especially luxury packaging.
Technology driving premium quality
The AccurioShine 3600 is a digital and compact system that eliminates the time and cost associated with traditional methods such as plates, screens, or dies. It is designed to apply high-impact spot UV finishes on a wide variety of substrates, ranging from 135 to 450 gsm, and supports large sheet sizes up to 14.3″ x 29.5″. The system delivers instant curing with its eco-friendly LED dryer.
Powered by proprietary inkjet technology and the artificial intelligence (AI) SmartScanner, the press ensures accurate sheet registration, fast setup, and minimal waste. The press is ideal for advanced applications such as on book covers, brochures, greeting cards, direct mail, and premium packaging. With optional enhancements such as the iFoil One for metallic foiling, the press helps businesses offer high-value embellishment with consistent quality, flexibility, and ease of operation.
