The new Ricoh Pro C9100 and C9110 are designed to help customers migrate to additional volumes from offset to digital. Both devices boast a maximum recommended monthly volume of one million A4 pages, as well as high print speed of 110ppm and 130ppm.
The presses feature a choice of Electronics for Imaging (EFI) digital front ends, including the EFI E-43 or the faster E-83 print server. Other new features include air-assisted duplex banner printing, up to 700mm in length, from a bypass feed unit. Compatible substrates include uncoated, textured and coated media from 52-400gsm, duplex banner sheet printing up to 700mm plus specialty media such as super-gloss, magnet, metallic, transparent and synthetic.
“This allows print service providers easily extend their expertise to include light packaging, direct mail, books, promotional materials, brochures and business cards,” said Manoj Kumar, managing director and CEO, Ricoh India.
Kumar said print quality of these machines is assured with the inclusion of Ricoh’s enhanced Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology, delivering image quality up to 1200x 4800dpi. Regardless of paper weights, the Pro C9100 series prints at rated speed, and productivity is further increased for A3, enabling 75ppm for A3 or 150ppm for A4 or equivalent.
“While technology-led change is driving a new future for the graphic arts market, the necessity to enhance client value and increase customer satisfaction remains at the fore of every business,” said Kumar, adding, “Ricoh Pro 9100 series of digital production workhorses will help our clients to achieve these goals and provides them with new and profitable revenue streams.”
