The RICOH Pro 8220s series addresses these needs by offering tight registration and a new High Capacity Interposer (HCI).

The RICOH Pro 8220s series also offers users tight registration to help ensure more precise, clean output and delivers the ability to print on a wide variety of substrates without sacrificing speed or quality.

“Production print operations are defined by what they produce, their ability to meet deadlines and fulfill job requirements,” said John Fulena, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. “The RICOH Pro 8220s series empowers printers to produce a wide variety of applications very quickly and efficiently by eliminating manual steps, making scanning quick and simple and making adding covers and inserts swift and hands-off. This is a device for the future of high-speed production.”

Aside from high print (96 to 136 ppm) and scan speeds on 8.27 x 11.69 inches (120 ipm simplex, 220 ipm duplex), the HCI automatically adds covers and inserts within jobs, saving significant time and labor investments. Meanwhile, the RICOH Pro 8220s series maintains its outstanding 1,200 x 4,800 dpi VCSEL quality on a wide variety of media, including coated media, […]

Ricoh Europe, London, 22 September 2016 – When Ricoh launched the Ricoh Pro™ VC60000 we believed it would revolutionise the future of commercial print and open new worlds.

We designed the next generation, continuous feed, inkjet technology platform for graphic arts to excel at direct mail, marketing materials and book printing.

And it has.

Since then clients from right around Europe have invested in this game changing technology, from Poland to the UK and from Finland to France; and strong sales growth is set to continue.
Central to the Pro VC60000’s success is its versatility, productivity and print quality made possible by our unique 1200×1200 dpi multi-drop inkjet technology.

Better than offset 
An early adopter was Dutch graphics media solutions company Zalsman.  It can now switch print flexibly between its offset and digital presses without increasing costs, but increasing flexibility.
Print quality was key to Adare SEC’s decision to make a multi-million investment in Ricoh systems, including two Ricoh Pro VC60000s. With a 60% increase in print resolution and our high density pigment ink it produces a better print finish across all applications.

Cost-effective flexibility 
Poland’s EDC Expert picked Eastern Europe’s first Ricoh Pro VC60000 to increase production flexibility. It liked the ability to print transactional or advertising materials on standard paper, without any pre-treatment or the need for more expensive inkjet-treated papers.

Dutch full service print provider Pondres plans to address market developments and accelerate transformation with its refocus on inkjet printing production. It can now address quality demands for graphics in marketing collateral and introduce new products and services.

And German service and print group Haberbeck strategically invested to extend its digital print infrastructure to create a more agile customer offering.

Elsevier, one of the world’s leading publishers of high quality journals, added the Pro VC60000 to its list of validated High Quality inkjet print engines.

6/15/2016 MALVERN, PA – Ricoh USA, Inc. today unveiled its latest device to help offices and businesses streamline their workflows and do more from one, centralized device. The ENERGY STAR® certified and EPEAT® Silver rated* RICOH MP 305SPF digital multifunction printer (MFP) helps users manage multiple jobs of varying sizes seamlessly from their desktops. Ricoh’s new Workstyle Innovation Technology, the next generation of office automation, powers a next-generation 10.1” Wide Super VGA Smart Operation Panel to simplify workflows, set customized shortcuts and toggle between jobs with the same gestures used on smartphones

Despite its small footprint, the RICOH MP 305SPF can print on 11” x 17” paper (A3), and also help users stay focused on their day jobs with features such as a low-noise mode for whisper-like operation.

“In the new world of work, streamlining everything from workflows to real estate utilization is paramount,” said John Brophy, Vice President, Product Marketing, Ricoh USA, Inc. “Workstyle Innovation Technology comprises the building blocks necessary to make these needs a reality for our customers. The intelligent design of the RICOH MP 305SPF delivers the capabilities modern businesses need while minimizing footprint requirements, IT burden, and complexity – essential components to overcoming today’s business challenges.”

By unifying these capabilities in one compact device, workflows are further streamlined reducing the need to move from device to device to get tasks done. Additionally, IT and supply costs are […]
