Riso has opened up a new stream of opportunities for the print and graphics industry with the launch of the world’s first A2 digital duplicator. 

The A2 is ideal for a wide range of applications in commercial printing including short-run newspapers, flyers and leaflets. A2 is one of the most commonly used formats in commercial print and the duplicator allows 4 x A4 multi-up printing, which saves production time.

It offers high-resolution printing at 600 dpi, can print at a speed of 100 sheets per minute and has a make-ready time is just 60 seconds. There are 21 standard colours and in addition customers can custom order specific colours, such as their corporate colour.

Tatsuo Murakami, managing director of Riso UK, said, ‘Riso is a pioneer in digital printing, and first made its name across the world with duplicators. With the new A2, we have pushed the boundaries and are continuing to challenge the norm.

‘This latest addition to the portfolio of world-class, innovative devices will open up yet more revenue streams for those in the print and graphics industry who want to offer more to their customers.’
