The installations, which are set to be completed by the end of the year, are part of a partnership signed between the investor services company and InfoPrint, which is now a full subsidiary of Ricoh.
The IP 5000s will be the first up and running in South East Asia. There are three in India and one in Hong Kong.
ProPrint revealed back in March that InfoPrint expected to finally secure an Australian installation this year.
Computershare managing director Peter Milburn said the presses would be used to “enhance the speed and quality of our clients’ communications”.
“The quality, reliability and versatility of this printing technology will help us to better meet the evolving needs of our clients and their customers and strengthen our ability to produce large volumes of business critical communications at high speed,” he said.
Meanwhile, Computershare has recorded a 15.3% rise in net profit in preliminary figures for the 2009/10 financial year.
The company posted a net profit of $294.8m and revenues of $1.6bn, a 6.9% boost from 2008/09 levels.
