Ricoh wants visitors to its PacPrint stand to believe in the power of print, and is displaying its versatile, value adding solutions, says Henryk Kraszewski, senior marketing manager for Production Print, Ricoh Australia. With a focus on real-life applications, Ricoh says it wants to inspire new ideas for customers with different substrates, techniques and finishing capabilities.

The stand is broken into three zones: commercial print, publishing, and corporate printing. It also includes a studio area which demonstrates Ricoh’s Neon Yellow, already seen in Australian Printer, and the brand new Neon Pink, which is yet to come to market. Both can be used with the latest Ricoh Pro C7100x series of digital printers. The studio area features UV lighting, which allows the neon colours to shine.

“We are demonstrating Neon Pink for the first time. Visitors to PacPrint will see it before it is introduced to the market later this year,” says Kraszewski.

He says, “The Pro C5200s Series is our new light-production solution, which we are showing for the first time at PacPrint. What it does is fill out our range as an entry-level solution. In our colour cut sheet range, every one of our presses offers ultra-high quality colour capability, which is a given, all of them now run at least 360gsm, textured stock, envelope, synthetic stocks, virtually any stocks can be used. All are able to print on a sheet size of up to 700mm in size, to do six-panel A4 work for example.

“Moving up the range, the 9100 series can now do A4 landscape saddle-stitch booklets inline, fully finished, which is perfect for real estate applications.”

“We are previewing our new direct-to-garment printers. The RI6000 direct to garment printer is the first produced since the acquisition of AnaJet. It is completely re-engineered and allows us to print and foil on a variety of fabrics.”
