Ricoh will demonstrate solutions designed to support print production environments that want to enhance or expand the services they offer.
At FESPA, taking place at Messe Munich from May 14-17, Ricoh will present solutions to visitors, illustrating how they can profitably diversify their service capabilities and explore new markets.
In the solutions hub, the latest in intuitive software capabilities will demonstrate how consistently accurate and high quality production can be achieved from one single workflow platform. The ColorGATE production server will be present, following the December 2018 acquisition of the company.
Joining these will be a new large format flatbed system. There will also be some DTG, ink and printhead technology news. Among the systems designed to meet an increased need to deliver broader job capabilities, as well as faster short run production and elevated productivity, is the Ricoh Pro L5160 latex roll-to-roll large format printer. Available from April 2019 in Europe, it delivers increased productivity and performance compared to its predecessor, aligned with reduced maintenance requirements and high quality.
For those intending to move into garment decoration, there is the Ri 100 direct to garment printer. For higher production demands, there will be the Ri 6000 direct to garment solution. Both enable print providers to deliver flexible, cost-effective digitally printed offerings including T-shirts, cloth bags, hoodies, sweatshirts and socks.
For creative and versatile print, the five colour Ricoh Pro C7200x colour sheet fed press will be running inspiring fifth colour applications on a range of media. The entire inkjet portfolio is underpinned by core Ricoh technologies in both printheads and inks. Ricoh’s team of experts will be on hand to assist the adoption of these technologies within the OEM community.
Upcoming FESPA events include FESPA Africa, the region’s largest, focused exhibition for wide format digital printing, screen printing, garment decoration and textile printing, which is co-located with Sign Africa and Africa Print, the region’s leading events for the signage industry. The event is taking place from 11-13 September 2019 at Gallagher Convention Centre, Johannesburg.
