The star products, according to Umang Singhal, national business and marketing manager, production printing, are the Ricoh Pro C9100 series and the C7100x presses.

The C9100, which was launched in September, 2015, gives Ricoh an industrial volume space, which can deliver a monthly volume of one million A4 pages, as well as high print speed of 110ppm and 130ppm. The machine prints at a print resolution of 1,200x4, 800dpi and accepts a wide media range from 52-400gsm.
 
Singhal said, “These type of volumes and speeds, are occupied by the likes of HP Indigo, NexPress and iGen presses. With the C9100 series, Ricoh offers an affordable kit with a similar productivity, greater media handling capabilities and print quality.”
 
Other new features include air-assisted duplex banner printing, up to 700mm in length, from a bypass feed unit, which are roller-less. Since its launch late last year, the Ricoh Pro C7100x has seen a good number of installations. Singhal said, “The new digital printing press with a fifth station for white or clear toner is a winner for Ricoh.” There are around 35 C7100x installed across India.
 
Singhal, did not specify the exact number of machines Ricoh installed in 2015, but when queried if the number is around 80, Singhal said, perhaps.
