Chennai-based JB Khanna’s decision to install the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000 was primarily driven by a combination of the company’s long-standing relationship with Konica Minolta, as it has been a loyal customer for the past eight years, and the company’s previous experience with the KM1e (AccurioJet KM1e) model and C6100 (AccurioPress C6100). 

Rajesh Khanna, partner at Chennai-based JB Khanna, said, “The AccurioPress C14000 represents a significant upgrade from the older C6100 model, offering enhanced features that align with my business needs. One of the key motivations for this transition is the high-speed printing capability of the C14000, which allows for increased productivity and efficiency in our print operations. This is particularly important in today's fast-paced market, where timely delivery of high-quality prints can make a substantial difference.”

In addition to speed, the improved print quality of the C14000 was a major deciding factor. This machine utilises advanced technology to ensure that every print job meets the highest standards, providing vibrant colors and sharp details that are essential for professional-grade outputs. 

Moreover, according to Khanna, the C14000 excels in banner printing, offering greater ease and flexibility in producing larger formats. “This feature is crucial for expanding our service offerings and meeting diverse customer demands, particularly for promotional materials and signage,” Khanna said.
