New print production standards in reliability and sustainability set by the RICOH Pro™ 8400 series

Ricoh is setting new standards in reliability and sustainability in the mono production market with the new RICOH Pro 8400S/8410S/8420S and RICOH Pro 8410/8420 mono production printer series.

The RICOH Pro 8400 series is setting new reliability and sustainability standards

The evolution of the RICOH Pro 8300S/8310S/8320S and RICOH Pro 8310/8320 series incorporates next generation productivity enhancements designed to elevate the production of a wide range of fast turnaround, on demand applications, for inhouse, corporate, transactional, and commercial printing environments.

Users can enjoy:

• Improved scanning speed up to 280 pages per minute for A4 duplex scanning at 200/300 dpi.
• Enhanced paper handling with a new ADF Automatic Document Feeder.
• Expanded media flexibility to strengthen productivity. Print on media weights from 52 to 350gsm and duplex up to 700mm in length.
• Expanded functionality with finishing options that support smooth, continual throughput and help to streamline workflow by automating tasks.
• Responsible production with the use of recycled plastic and recycled steel in the manufacturing process.

The series' high speed output and superior image quality is delivered by Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) imaging technology while crisp text, fine lines, and smooth halftones at 2400 x 4800 dpi resolution are enabled by enhanced toner. Precise handling, even with pre-printed and dark coloured papers, is managed by the Mechanical Registration System, with a Contact Image Sensor (CIS).

In addition, ease of use is powered by a smart operation panel while downtime is minimised by auto jam recovery and an automatic purge function. Productivity and continual printing without replacing paper and toner is further enabled by multiple Vacuum Feed LCIT trays and twin toner system. Integration with Plockmatic finishing options also allows easy post processing activities.

Eef de Ridder, Vice President, Graphic Communications, Ricoh Europe, says: "The new series comprises a modular concept to meet evolving business needs, embodying Ricoh's commitment to contributing to a sustainable society through innovative technology, and to solutions that enhance productivity and user experience. This next generation mono press series enables operations to enhance productivity, elevate capabilities, and reduce their environmental impact."
