World’s first B2 perfecting sheetfed aqueous-based inkjet press launched
Ricoh has launched its Pro Z75 digital press, the first B2 perfecting (auto-duplexing) sheetfed inkjet platform using aqueous ink, accelerating the shift from offset to digital with higher print quality, faster turnaround times and fewer demands on staff following successful in-market testing. The Pro Z75 delivers the advantages of a sheetfed platform with the low running costs and high productivity of inkjet. It offers print speeds of up to 4,500 sheets per hour in straight printing or 2,250 SPH in duplex/ perfecting printing. Stainless steel piezo print heads bring 1,200dpi native resolution at all speeds with four colour (CMYK) pigment- based inks, while the proprietary drying system ensures high quality results ready for immediate finishing. The Pro Z75 also expands substrate flexibility, handling uncoated, inkjet treated and offset coated media up to 400gsm with a maximum sheet size of 585mm x 750mm. “As shorter runs and increasing demand for data-driven communications push print service providers to adapt their production strategies, we are helping them lever the latest hardware, software and data to become indispensable to their clients with the RICOH Pro Z75 as a powerful example of that commitment in action,” said Eef de Ridder, vice president, Graphic Communications, Ricoh Europe. “The result is a new level of performance that enables easier, faster and more profitable production of applications like direct mail, postcards, marketing materials and other commercial print work.”

The press also incorporates significant automation solutions and an intuitive control panel to reduce the need for operator intervention and improve shift efficiency. A heavy duty, offset-like build quality and advanced, durable printheads are designed to maximise press uptime and availability. Designed for print businesses managing high volumes of jobs that require reliable uptime and significant throughput capacity, the new production inkjet platform is backed by Ricoh’s Professional Services programme. Clients will have access to Ricoh’s proprietary workflow automation solutions, such as RICOH TotalFlow BatchBuilder™ and RICOH Supervisor™, plus the EDGE business development consultancy service and full-service marketing solutions such as MarcomCentral®, to maximise return on investment and business value.
