Interprint in Swindon has added two new Ricoh Pro C9110s to its equipment list to cope with demand from its diverse and rapidly increasing customer base.
The company needed to expand its suite of digital presses in order to satisfy and exceed customer expectations for innovation and speed.
These new printers join two Ricoh printers already in place, the Ricoh Pro C900 and the Ricoh Pro 907.
The Pro C9100 series is suited to larger commercial printers seeking to expand their hybrid digital and offset workflow and can easily integrate into existing operations. They are productive and deliver high volume, personalised, print runs, with fast turnaround times.
Andrew Hatcher, managing director, said, ‘It is time to take another substantial leap ahead in terms of technology, increasing our digital flexibility, productivity and quality. I believe we will achieve this with the installation of the two Ricoh Pro C9110s. Four years ago, we had no digital offering and after introducing our high quality ethics into the digital arena, demand for our services snowballed year on year. The new durable presses can amply cope with high volumes and improve on quality and flexibility, whilst returning high margins. Our clients are already engaging with us on the new and exciting innovations that these presses offer, such as the 700 mm banner option. We have also had to extend our premises to house the Ricoh presses.’
With speeds up to 130 p/m, a maximum monthly volume of up to one million A4 sheets and a duty cycle of 1.75 million A4 sheets, the Pro C9100 series fills a void for customers who have demands for a high turnaround performance.
Printers seeking to expand the services they provide to clients will be able to take on a wide range of new commercial applications with the Pro C9100 series’ capability to print onto uncoated, textured and coated media from 52 gsm to 400 gsm, duplex banner sheet printing up to 700 mm and even speciality media such as super-gloss, magnet, metallic, transparent or synthetic. This allows them to quickly extend their expertise to include light packaging, direct mail, books, promotional materials, brochures and business cards.
