Duplo Partners with EFI and Ricoh to Demonstrate Print Embellishment Workflow

Duplo USA Corporation, a provider of innovative print finishing solutions, is returning to Chicago for PRINT 19 and will be in Booth 1224 displaying its key solutions in an integrated production environment.

Duplo USA has partnered with Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI) and Ricoh to produce high profit, embellished applications from start-to-finish live in the booth. EFI Fiery digital print server and workflow automation software will be demonstrated driving the RICOH Pro C7200X for printing, the DDC-810 Raised Spot UV Coater for embellishment, and the DC-646 Integrated Folding System for precision finishing. Fiery JobFlow greatly improves efficiency by reducing the number of clicks required to prepare the CMYK and spot layer files for printing and finishing. Fiery Impose streamlines the process by applying imposition, barcodes and registration marks for the Duplo finishing devices. The Pro C7200X series brings game-changing five-color capabilities alongside best-in-class price performance, reliability and the ability to print on paper lengths up to 49.6˝ simplex or 27.5˝ duplex. Built on the legacy of the RICOH Pro C7100X, these presses print faster, more accurately and with an expanded color gamut, while offering improved media flexibility.

The Fiery JobFlow and Fiery Impose integration with Duplo’s DDC-810 Raised Spot UV Coater, DC-746 and DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser, and the UD-300 Rotary Diecutter has been named one of the recipients of the PRINT 19 RED HOT Technology Recognition Program.
