Smarter Colour Management with AccurioPro Color Manager v2.3
Consistent colour is essential for delivering quality print, reducing waste, and maintaining customer confidence. That’s why Konica Minolta has introduced AccurioPro Color Manager (APCM2) v2.3, the latest evolution of its colour management software, featuring advanced cloud-based reporting, historical analytics, and intelligent automation.
Designed for both single-site and multi-site print environments, AccurioPro Color Manager provides greater visibility and control over colour performance through a single, centralised platform.
“Whether you have a single machine or multiple machines across multiple sites, AccurioPro Color Manager provides one seamless application from which to monitor and maintain your colour consistency. It also has all the production print colour management tools you would expect, such as tone curve creation and adjustment, alternative colour (colour replacement) and spot colour adjustment.”

Real-Time Visibility for Better Decision-Making
A key enhancement in v2.3 is its integration with AccurioPro CloudEye, enabling real-time access to validation results, performance data, and quality reporting from virtually any device. Rather than relying on simple pass-or-fail checks, print providers gain actionable insights that help identify issues early, improve productivity, and maintain consistent output.
Mark says, “For print businesses, quality is no longer just about achieving a pass or fail result. They need clear visibility into performance across every device and every site.”
“Real-time reporting gives operators and managers the information they need to identify issues early, maintain consistency, and make faster decisions. That level of transparency helps reduce waste, improve productivity, and gives customers greater confidence in the quality of the final output.”
From Reactive to Proactive Quality Management
AccurioPro Color Manager v2.3 leverages cloud-based historical analytics to help print businesses track colour performance over time. By centralising targets and validation data in the cloud, organisations can maintain consistency across multiple sites while identifying trends before they impact production.
Mark says, “The real value of historical analytics is that it allows print providers to move from reactive quality control to proactive quality management. Instead of discovering a colour issue after jobs have been produced, businesses can identify trends early and take corrective action before output is affected. That helps reduce waste, minimise rework, and maintain consistent results over the long term.”
Simplifying Advanced Colour Management
AccurioPro Color Manager is designed to make sophisticated colour management more accessible. When combined with Konica Minolta’s IQ-501 and IQ-601 Intelligent Quality Optimisers, many calibration and validation processes can be automated, helping reduce manual intervention while improving consistency and efficiency.
Mark says, “When integrated with our IQ-601 Intelligent Quality Optimiser, AccurioPro Color Manager can create a custom destination and device link profile and validate that the profile meets the required standard just with the click of a mouse. There is no manual scanning required, turning colour validation from a laborious task to a simple one-click process whenever it is required.” 
A Complete End-to-End Colour Management Solution
Modern print businesses need more than standalone colour management tools. They need a connected system that supports every stage of the production process, from setup and profiling through to verification and ongoing performance monitoring.
AccurioPro Color Manager 2 Suite brings together press setup, media-specific profile creation, verification checks, validation reporting, and cloud-based performance analytics within a single platform. The result is a simpler, more streamlined approach to achieving consistent, repeatable colour quality across the operation.
Mark concludes, “Today’s print providers need more than individual colour management tools. They need a complete system that supports press setup, profiling, verification, and ongoing performance analysis.”
“Bringing these capabilities together into a single platform helps simplify colour management while giving operators greater confidence in the consistency and repeatability of their output.”
For New Zealand print businesses looking to improve colour consistency, reduce waste, and optimise production workflows, AccurioPro Color Manager v2.3 delivers a smarter, more connected approach to quality management.
