Ricoh Launches Pro C751 color production system at IPMA Conference before a crowd of in-plants

By Bob Neubauer

In a strong acknowledgement of how important the in-plant industry is to its business, Ricoh Americas Corp. debuted its latest digital color device at the In-Plant Printing & Mailing Association (IPMA) conference in Charleston, S.C. Before a crowd of about 140 in-plant managers, Carl Joachim, Vice President of Marketing for Ricoh's Production Print Solutions Group, announced the new Ricoh Pro C651EX/C751EX/C751 color production system, which delivers output speeds of up to 65/75 ppm respectively, and includes printing, scanning and copying functionality.

Joachim noted that the in-plant sector is of major importance to Ricoh, and he feels this new product is an excellent fit for this market. Ricoh had the new C751EX on display at IPMA's vendor fair, where in-plant managers were the first in the country to get a look at it.

The system incorporates innovative imaging technology and robust paper handling that results in a maximum resolution of 4,800 dpi forimpressive color fidelity and detail rendering. It also supports a wide range of substrates.

The system uses the revolutionary Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology. It allows for the highest resolution available (1200 x 4800 dpi) to perform any print job cost-effectively in-house. With an extensive collection of media handling options, users can produce a wide range of jobs, such as direct mail, cards, menus, booklets, manuals, etc.

Users can also employ precision front-to-back registration of +/- 0.5mm sheet to sheet, which is further enhanced by the ability to compensate and program in dimensional changes in the media during duplex printing. Further, these changes can be incorporated as part of the paper library.

Central to the operation of the Ricoh Pro C651EX/C751EX/C751 is a server-based EFI Fiery E-41A Print Controller. The Fiery E41A is running System 9 R2, and has access to the full suite of Fiery options to increase capability, productivity, and color accuracy.

A range of inline finishing options are available to allow customers to produce professionally finished documents that are ready for distribution with no manual intervention. Customers will have a choice of folding, booklet making, ring binding, and/or basic document stapling.
