Attendees of SGIA EXPO, taking place October 10-12 in New Orleans, are invited to take a look at Ricoh in booth 1351.

“The signage and graphics markets are incredibly exciting right now, as the quality and accessibility of technology continues to grow,” said John Fulena, Vice President, Commercial & Industrial Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. “Our recently formed organization is evolving just as fast, as we look to uncover new and better ways to serve these markets.

MALVERN, Pa., Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Ricoh USA, Inc. has unveiled a new wide-format flatbed printer designed to bring low-maintenance reliability and ease-of-use to the decorative-printing market. The new RICOH Pro T7210 offers customers the ability to handle diverse materials of varied thicknesses, helping them to further broaden their revenue streams. This newest portfolio addition is the culmination of decades of Ricoh’s commitment to innovation and to building solutions and offerings that meet the needs of customers around the world. The T7210 will be on display at SGIA EXPO, October 10-12 in New Orleans, in Ricoh booth 1351.

“The business model for décor printing is evolving with increased demand for shorter runs and faster delivery times for custom and ‘small-batch’ wall coverings, flooring, furniture and tile,” said John Fulena, Vice President, Commercial & Industrial Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. “The T7210 gives printers the ability to do all of that, and it makes doing it easy, and effective. Whether a manufacturer is new to the décor market or an industry veteran looking for a low-maintenance, high-quality flatbed to grow revenues, the T7210 is a great fit.”

Ricoh defines industrial printing as wide format printing and printing done as a part of the manufacturing process to produce finished goods e.g. garments, textiles, metals, architectural components.  To effectively address print as a part of the manufacturing process, manufacturers need devices that offer wide media flexibility. The T7210 supports substrates up to 4.3 inches thick with a print size of 6.9 feet by 10.5 feet. That large print area allows users to print on one four-foot-by-eight-foot board or a variety of pre-cut pieces. For instance, three three-foot-by-six-foot boards can be printed on together at the same time. These features combine to allow users to print directly on a variety of materials that may traditionally be considered too unwieldy to print on directly, saving time, labor and resources.

The T7210’s […]

MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Ricoh USA, Inc. has announced portfolio enhancements that empower digital workplaces, enabling users to work smarter. These Workstyle Innovation Technologies – ranging from new applications, Smart Support capabilities, Smart Operation Panel updates and device enhancements – help deliver maximum device uptime and increased profitability for both large and small business environments. Additionally, Ricoh’s ongoing innovation has been recognized by the prestigious Buyers Lab awards. Buyers Lab’s Summer 2017 Picks highlighted five Ricoh devices, and Ricoh’s broader portfolio was recognized by Buyers Lab’s PaceSetter awards for MFP Platforms & App Ecosystems.

“As technology continues to advance, the ‘one size fits all’ approach just doesn’t work for customers,” said Randy Dazo, Group Director, Keypoint Intelligence. “Customers need solutions specific to their industry and organization. Ricoh’s approach to delivering customizable products, supported by services designed for the individual customer’s business, allows them to deliver the best possible solutions.”

The black and white RICOH MP 2555 series won “Outstanding 25-ppm Copier MFP.” The device’s Smart Operation Panel and related capabilities helped differentiate it from the competition. This family of Smart Operation Panel-enabled features also helped the case for the RICOH MP 402SPF (“Outstanding MFP for Mid-size Workgroups”), RICOH MP 501SPF (“Outstanding MFP for Large Workgroups”) and RICOH MP 601SPF (“Outstanding Departmental Multifunction Printer”). The RICOH SP 5310DN earned the “Outstanding Departmental Printer” recognition. Its 62-ppm speed, 1200 dpi print quality and media flexibility make it a versatile choice for a department with diverse tasks. The SP 5310DN’s simple, 4-line LCD control panel minimizes the need for training, as well as the risk of productivity-slowing confusion.

Additionally, Ricoh’s blend of software, hardware and services won Buyers Lab’s PaceSetter award for MFP Platforms & App Ecosystems. Buyers Lab’s analysts cited Ricoh’s suite of Integrated Cloud Environment (ICE) apps and their strong integration with the Smart Operation Panel as key differentiators.
