The latest version of the Ricoh Pro VC40000 technology platform allows printers to meet faster turnaround deadlines and deliver increased throughput for monochrome applications by running at speeds up to 180 m/min at full 600 x 600 dpi print quality.
Two ink set options are available – dye, which is most commonly used for transactional printing, and mono pigment, which is ideally suited to book printing. The mono dye version can also run at 225 m/min with 600 x 300 dpi print quality.
Its configuration flexibility includes duplex, simplex, and dual simplex capabilities. Complex and intensive production processes can be automated in demanding print environments with Ricoh’s Process Driven Automation powered by Ricoh Process Director, to streamline production processes.
Sander Sondaal, director, commercial print sales, Ricoh Europe graphic communications, commented, ‘Ricoh has worked closely with our transactional and book printing clients to understand their needs and develop the most effective solution to meet today’s demand for fast turnaround times and high mono print image quality. The platform produces crisp, clear prints, at incredible speeds, and offers attractive operating, service, and capital acquisition costs for an excellent price/productivity ratio.’
