Located across from one another at Drupa, Ricoh and InfoPrint Solutions marked the first anniversary of the latter’s formation in a joint venture with IBM. Transpromo applications were highlighted on the InfoPrint 5000 color ink-jet (piezo DOD) press with the addition of support for the new AFP Color Management Architecture and SAS Customer Intelligence marketing tools. The company also introduced the InfoPrint 75 (115 ppm) and 100 (154 ppm) monochrome, toner-based continuous forms printers that output PostScript and PCL data at 600 dpi.
