The RICOH Pro L5130/L5160 prints up to 473.6 ft2/hr, with curing technology that leaves output ready for finishing as soon as it comes off the printer. These next-generation Ricoh roll-to-roll latex printers, leveraging Ricoh’s GREENGUARD certified latex inks and printheads, will be showcased October 18-20 at Ricoh’s SGIA EXPO booth 3601.
“From hospitality to hospitals, many industries are starting to more fully embrace wide format. When we designed the RICOH Pro L5130/L5160 series, we were engineering a platform specifically to equip printers to reliably excel at meeting those diverse needs,” said John Fulena, vice president, Commercial & Industrial Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. “Through the combination of Ricoh inks, Ricoh printheads and Ricoh design, these devices empower users to deliver the kinds of applications their customers are looking for ““ and do it better and faster than the competition.”
In addition to speeds of up to 473.6 ft2/hr in outdoor standard mode and 270 ft2/hr in indoor standard mode, the series produces applications up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi with due to the devices’ industrial-grade Ricoh printheads. With CMYK and CMYK plus white options available, high ink opacity and adhesion for a variety of applications on substrates that range from wall coverings to window graphics to backlit day/night signage.
Substrate flexibility is built in to the L5130/L5160 series, with support for 2- and 3-inch roll cores up to 122 pounds and media up to 64 inches wide. In addition to helping ensure prints are ready for immediate finishing, a three-way intelligent heater helps prevent melting or warping of thinner substrates.
