Glasgow-based Bell & Bain is the first European book printer to invest in the Ricoh Pro VC60000 continuous feed production inkjet platform.
One of the oldest book printers in the UK, Bell & Bain specialises in the printing and binding of business, educational, financial, medical, scientific and religious books and journals. Using the Pro VC60000, which features Ricoh’s multi-drop inkjetting technology, its own inks and digital front end, the company will have the capacity to produce more than 6,000 copies of a 128-page book in an eight-hour shift.
‘We chose the Ricoh Pro VC60000 because of its outstanding print quality,’ said Stephen Docherty, managing director of Bell & Bain. ‘Together with Ricoh’s TotalFlow BatchBuilder workflow automation solution, it will help us elevate our high quality short run digital colour book production. We are excited to be bringing it to the British publishing market.’
‘We are delighted that such a prestigious book printer has identified the production enhancing capabilities of the Pro VC60000,’ commented Eef de Ridder, director, commercial and industrial Printing, Ricoh Europe.
Bell & Bain will install the new device in September.
