RISO is targeting what it sees as an emerging market for “communications color,” which includes four-color printing with an emphasis on function at a lower cost. Its new HC5500 ComColor ink-jet printer outputs 120 ppm (letter size) in color and prints up to 11x17˝ paper in weights from 12-lb. bond to 80-lb. cover. The machine is expected to be available this summer.
