No job should be held up while you wait for the printer to produce the documents you need. Ensuring fast printing and curing of wide-format documents is Ricoh. The company’s newest wide-format latex printers, the L5130 and L5160, print up to 473.6 ft² per hour in outdoor standard mode and 270 ft² per hour in indoor standard mode, and feature curing technology that leaves output ready for finishing as soon as it comes off the printer.
Faster turnaround means you can serve your customers quicker, prospect new customers, and broaden revenue streams. Plus, these next-generation roll-to-roll latex printers leverage Ricoh’s Greenguard-certified latex inks and printheads. Ricoh showcased the devices recently at SGIA Expo.
“From hospitality to hospitals, many industries are starting to embrace wide format,” says John Fulena, vice president, Commercial and Industrial Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. “These devices empower users to deliver the kinds of applications their customers are looking for and do it better and faster than their competition.”
In addition to speedy printing, the L5130 and L5160 printers produce applications up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi with high reliability due to the use of industrial-grade Ricoh printheads. CMYK and CMYK plus white options, high ink opacity and adhesion enable the production of crisp, clear prints on substrates that range from wall coverings to window graphics to backlit day/night signage.
The printers support 2- and 3-inch roll cores up to 122 pounds and media up to 64 inches wide. A three-way heater helps prevent melting or warping of thinner substrates.
Another perk: easy maintenance. One-touch automated daily maintenance cleans and purges printheads. Automated nozzle drop detection helps ensure consistent image quality and continuous production. Users can monitor the device and job status by remotely logging into the Web Image Monitor or checking the attention light on the device. A 90-degree-tiltable, 4.3-inch touchscreen also provides a simple user interface for monitoring and management.
