Achieve your sustainability goals without compromising print quality.
A Printing Revolution for a Greener Future
Eight Group is proud to lead the way in sustainable commercial printing with the UK’s Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1e.
Designed for outstanding print excellence, this innovative digital press takes your sustainability initiatives to the next level. Reduce your environmental impact while producing vibrant, high-quality prints that meet the demands of modern business.
Whether you’re creating personalised small-batch campaigns or large-scale print runs, the KM-1e bridges the gap between traditional offset and digital presses, offering the larger B2 paper size. It’s the ultimate solution for both agility and environmental responsibility.
Why Choose the AccurioJet KM-1e?
Reduced Carbon Emissions
By eliminating the need for printing plates, chemical processing, and setup materials, the KM-1e lowers CO₂ emissions significantly – helping you to reduce your overall carbon footprint.
VOC-Free Printing
The KM-1e uses eco-conscious UV curable inks that do not emit harmful VOCs, creating a safer, cleaner print environment and contributing to cleaner air quality.
Lower Energy Consumption
Compared to traditional offset presses, the KM-1e consumes substantially less power per print job, helping customers align with energy-saving initiatives and reduce operational costs.
No Drying Process Required
Instant UV ink curing means no additional energy is used for drying, unlike conventional systems, accelerating turnaround time and conserving energy.
On-Demand, Plate-Free Printing
Digital workflows eliminate the need for pre-press materials like printing plates, cutting down on waste and enabling small-batch or personalised printing – ideal for personalised marketing.
Minimal Setup Waste
Advanced colour consistency and precise registration reduce test runs, resulting in less wasted paper and ink, which benefits both the environment and your budget.
Ink that Supports Recyclable Print
INGEDE-approved deinkability ensures prints are suitable for recycling, supporting circular use of paper and reducing landfill waste.
Green Printing Certified
The KM-1e holds a three-star rating from Japan’s Green Printing Certification (JFPI), recognising it as an environmentally responsible choice
