Ricoh Continuous-Feed Press Targets Offset Transition

The 2014 Must See 'Ems award-winning Ricoh Pro VC60000—expected to begin shipping in early 2015—uses Ricoh’s next generation drop-on-demand print heads and high-density pigment inks, resulting from its 25 years of experience in developing core inkjet technologies. These new print heads are capable of physical resolutions up to 1,200x1,200 dots per inch. Utilizing the Ricoh Pro VC60000’s variable drop technology, customers can produce near-offset quality documents. With the optional undercoat unit, commercial printers can run a variety of offset coated gloss stocks with output quality comparable to what they expect from offset devices. An optional inline protector coating unit provides scratch and scuff resistance to protect critical documents.
