The first UK showing of the recently launched Ricoh Pro C901 Graphic Arts +, which is due to be available in the UK in the summer, will take place at North Print & Pack 2013 in Harrogate from 14 to 16 May, following Ricoh’s confirmation that it will take the largest stand at the show.
In addition to the Pro C901+, Ricoh will also be showing a Ricoh Pro C751, a Ricoh Pro 1357 high volume black and white press and the company’s new wide format solution, the MP CW2200SP, as well as a range of new software products from its growing TotalFlow workflow portfolio, including Barr EOM and Commercial Marcom Central from PTI Technologies. It will be joined on the stand by partners such as Morgana and Objectif Lune.
Stephen Palmer, head of production print at Ricoh UK said: ‘North Print & Pack 2013 is a focused show with a rich, respected heritage and fits well with Ricoh’s desire to participate in events and exhibitions that enable it to get even closer to its customers. Our efforts this year continue to be on working with customers to transform their businesses through greater production efficiency and increased profitability and flexibility, giving them the freedom to operate their businesses successfully and confidently. North Print & Pack 2013 will give us a great platform to achieve this.’
He added that the inclusion of the packaging sector in the former Northprint was ‘an exciting development that is representative of the fact digital is helping to break down the barriers-to-entry across a range of related printing sectors’, giving customers the opportunity to diversify and grow their businesses.
Mr Palmer is to participate in a panel discussion entitled’Lack of Finance and Government Support = Lack of Innovation and Disparity – Advice on Enabling your Business’at North Print & Pack, while Ricoh and a customer will also present’Going Beyond Print to Deliver Value-Added Services, Solutions and Applications – Sharing Customers Real-World, Proven Solutions’during the event.
