New digital production imaging systems expand printable color gamut, easily handle textured stock, and integrate media library for fine-tuned performance

MALVERN, PA – Ricoh Americas Corporation today introduced two new full-color digital imaging systems for in-plant print centers and print service providers who demand productivity, versatility and outstanding quality at an affordable price. The RICOH Pro C5100S and RICOH Pro C5110S production imaging systems print and copy up to 65 ppm and 80 ppm respectively, producing professional-looking output that can be collated and finished in line.

Ideal for helping businesses launch their first production printing programs, the devices blend application flexibility, high productivity and cost-effectiveness in a compact footprint. In addition, both models feature a new toner formulation that increases the printable color gamut by 10 percent compared to Ricoh's other color production printers and has a lower fusing temperature, which means faster warm-up times and lower energy consumption.

The RICOH Pro C5100S and RICOH Pro C5110S are also the first to feature a new, enhanced toner transfer technology and elastic fusing-belt technology to deliver higher-quality imaging on heavily textured media. The imaging systems enable customers to save more than 60 attributes to a single Media Library selection to minimize guesswork and enhance productivity.

“Ricoh has integrated proven imaging and paper-handling technologies from the RICOH Pro C651EX/C751EX Series and the recently launched RICOH Pro C901 GA+ to result in an affordable solution that can handle a wide range of printing applications from linen stocks to envelopes,” said Tim Vellek, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh Americas Corporation. “Using advanced configured finishing options, customers can produce finished documents ready for distribution without any manual intervention.”

With complete color scanning capability, the systems also serve a key role in business information solutions as hubs for input, processing and output to help companies meet their most important organizational goals. Customers with any Ricoh production printing solution have access to Ricoh’s
