The Ricoh Pro V20000 series continuous feed inkjet platform has a footprint of just 4.3sqm

 

The new Ricoh Pro V20000 series continuous feed inkjet platform is designed to help print services providers produce a wide range of applications from transactional print to books, direct mail and pharmaceutical leaflets.

The compact family of systems brings competitive mono and colour production to existing users of continuous feed printers as well as sheet fed users who are looking to consolidate the output of multiple devices to a single machine.

The Pro V20000 series is available in three versions: the 75m/min, 600 x 600 dpi mono Ricoh Pro V20000; the 150m/min, 600 x 600 dpi mono Ricoh Pro V20100; and the 75m/min, 600 x 600 dpi CMYK Ricoh Pro VC20000.

The new family of inkjet printers can be combined with inline finishing solutions to maximise production and minimise paper waste, and will work with a variety of papers including the lightweight materials required in the pharmaceutical industry.

‘The Pro V20000 platform is a great addition to our portfolio,’ commented Tim Taylor, head of continuous feed market, Commercial and Industrial Printing Group. ‘It joins the Ricoh Pro VC40000, which was announced earlier this year, and Ricoh Pro VC60000 continuous feed inkjet printers, meaning we have a system that suits the production requirements of almost any operation.’

With improved operational efficiency, increased running speeds and significantly lower running costs, the systems also offer an upgrade path for existing toner-based operations – with the potential for one inkjet device to replace multiple toner machines.

‘We are also excited by the number of additional markets it can help our clients competitively service when used in combination with Ricoh software,’ continued Mr Taylor. ‘For example, it enables intelligent and efficient book production when combined with our TotalFlow BatchBuilder software and, with a combination of FusionPro and Ricoh Process Director, we can provide a complete and secure pharmaceutical solution.’

The Pro V20100 will be shown for the first time at Ricoh’s “The Art of The New” event during 21-23 November, held at Ricoh’s Customer Experience Centre in Telford. Register here to attend.

All three models will be available from Q1 in 2018.
