Ricoh has launched the new RICOH Pro VC40000 mono webfed inkjet press, with two ink-based variants.
The latest version of the RICOH Pro VC40000 technology platform is designed to meet faster turnaround deadlines and deliver increased output for monochrome applications in comparison to previous models.
The VC40000 comes with two ink set options; dye, which is designed for transactional printing, and mono pigment, which is ideally suited to book printing.
The press can reportedly run up to 180m per minute at full speed with 600 x 600dpi print quality. The mono dye version can run at 225m per minute with 600 x 300dpi print quality.
The technology platform can be configured for duplex, simplex, and dual simplex capabilities. Production processes can be automated and streamlined using Ricoh's Process Driven Automation system, which is powered by the company’s Process Director software.
Sander Sondaal, director of commercial print sales at Ricoh Europe Graphic Communications, says: “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.”
The RICOH Pro VC40000 is available now in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
