The latest series has a long sheet capability of up to 1,030mm auto duplex, 1,260mm simplex and can handle substrates up to 450gsm, with users able to print as fast as 115ppm 135ppm in A4 mode, depending on the model.

Tim Carter, director, commercial printer at Ricoh UK and Ireland, said, “All the advances have been developed to flexibly support higher quality, on-demand production of a wider range of services and substrates including synthetics, carbonless paper, coated and uncoated stock and envelopes.”

Other key features on the Pro C9200 include improved purge control, as well as a new 17-inch operator panel designed to enhance usability.

Pro C9200 is compatible with digital front ends such as Fiery E-45 and E-85 from Ricoh and EFI’s performance DFE TotalFlow print server R-62. It also offers integration of pre-press workflow solutions from Kodak and Apogee from Agfa.

“We are confident that commercial and digital production printing businesses, plus direct mailers with A4 colour volumes of in excess of 100,000, will embrace the performance and value represented by the Ricoh Pro C9200,” added Carter.
