The Ricoh Pro C9500 and Ricoh Pro C7500 are state-of-the-art systems that leverage advanced technologies to take your business to the next level. Built on a solid foundation, these systems offer automation, predictability, and quality that are unmatched in the industry.

Both machines support a wide range of media, from 40- to 470-gsm, enabling printing on any application for any digital printing segment. The new series also features built-in technologies that ensure consistent colour and superior quality to meet your customer needs.

These innovative presses deliver precise front-to-back registration with any media type. They can handle high monthly volumes of up to 1,000,000 and 2,40,000 pages respectively, with remarkable auto duplex and perfecting capabilities up to 470-gsm.

According to the company, the new presses will help overcome labour shortages by attracting a new generation of press operators. They will also help a printer transition from offset to digital without compromising on quality, even in the most demanding production environments. Thus, according to Ricoh, these dynamic machines open up new opportunities for printers to expand into high-margin segments like packaging and offset, ensuring profitability despite shorter runs.

The Ricoh Pro C9500 achieves speeds of up to 135-ppm where 115-ppm is standard, while the RICOH Pro C7500 achieves speeds of up to 95 pages per minute (85 ppm is standard), setting new standards for efficiency. 

The user can replace toner while the machine is in operation and enjoy an impressive 18,100-sheet maximum paper capacity on the Ricoh Pro C9500. The user can also perform preventive maintenance with minimal disruption using the trained customer replaceable units (TCRU) option.

The all-new Fiery N-70 controller and Fiery N-50 controller series with the latest digital front end, based on Fiery and Ricoh technology, enable you to tackle more extensive and complex files faster. 

Both machines can handle it all, whether it's flyers, direct mail, promotional materials, packaging, catalogues, photo books, or point-of-purchase displays. With support for thin-to-thick paper, synthetic, and specialty substrates, you can maintain a continuous job flow without any production slowdowns. These new series come with innovative technologies that ensure the machine productivity is maintained at all times even while using mixed media.

Thakker said Minosha is committed to providing an intuitive and intelligent experience for operators of all skill levels. “The automated features of these two machines enable even a new generation of operators to succeed with the system’s most advanced capabilities at their disposal. The new and embedded graphic controller supports a highly synchronised remote diagnosis system, enabling remote service and ensuring the smooth operation of your business,” he said.

From operator training to finishing solutions, business development, and G7 certification, Minosha’s professional services teams, with real-world experience, ensure that a customer’s journey is smooth from the very beginning.
