Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has announced the world’s first inline finisher to offer lamination directly after the print process. The new GBC CL-401 inline laminator offers next-level production and finishing versatility for Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress range.

AccurioPress customers using the CL-401 will be able to produce high-quality completed laminated documents in one easy step, with automatic detection of foil types and sizes. With the addition of an Inline Trimming Unit TU-510 it delivers full end-to-end inline production, replacing the labour and cost intensive process of finishing offline, for faster turnaround times.

Production is made faster still through introduction of an innovative cold lamination process that eliminates warm-up time. The CL-401 enables direct, two side, application, as well as the option to laminate only one side of a graphic, making it the ideal solution for producing decals and adhesive decorations.

The ability to handle paper weights from 75 gsm to 300 gsm and a wide range of different paper sizes from A4, A3 and SRA4 to SRA3, opens up a world of production possibilities including posters and menus, flyers, covers and more.

Malcolm Smith, Category Manager- Professional Print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, said

The CL-401 is the first of its kind and only Konica Minolta can offer this combination of printing and laminating in one pass at just the touch of a button. Put simply, it is lamination at the speed of printing.
