The report notes: “The high-speed digital label printer market is undergoing the same type of digital transformation we have seen in other segments of the printing market, with a portion of the total label volume moving from analogue to digital production based on digital printing’s economic advantages for short-runs. The demand for digital production is based on a move to shorter runs and on-demand production to impact consumer decisions and eliminate waste. “Over that time, Konica Minolta has placed more than 1,700 of its toner-based label presses, which have found a ‘sweet spot’ in the digital label press market with its combination of quality and productivity.” Toshitaka Uemura, Head of IP Business at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe said: “Our purpose is to empower better communication and a more sustainable society through the power of digital printing. By addressing our customers’ challenges – from shorter runs and tighter deadlines to the need for skilled labour and environmental responsibility – we continue to deliver innovations like the AccurioLabel 230 and AccurioLabel 400 that redefine what’s possible in digital label production. We believe being named a Leader by the IDC MarketScape reaffirms we’re on the right track.” www.konicaminolta.co.uk Katun expands distribution partnership with MyQ Katun has expanded its strategic distribution partnership with MyQ and now offers MyQ’s print management solutions to dealer partners in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Latin America.

Amy Machado, Senior Research Manager, Content and Knowledge Discovery Strategies at IDC said: “Maximising trustworthy straight-through processing (STP) is key to intelligent document processing, driving lower costs and faster outcomes. ABBYY continues to apply advanced AI, including LLMs where they add the most value, to minimise manual effort, enhance reliability, and help organisations focus resources on higher-value tasks.” According to the IDC MarketScape report: “ABBYY uses proprietary AI models, engineered for document understanding. Rather than repurposing generic LLMs, which can lack consistency and reliability, ABBYY uses a hybrid approach that begins with document AI and then applies GenAI if and where it can add value.” www.abbyy.com
