Ricoh USA has announced the addition of EFI’s H1625 LED and VUTEk H2000 Pro hybrid roll/flatbed wide format printers to its growing wide-format portfolio via a reseller agreement with EFI. This new partnership, said the OEM, is part of Ricoh’s ongoing efforts to better serve customers looking to add or enhance capabilities in the wide-format segment. “These devices’ versatility, productivity and broad capabilities help entry-level and advanced wide-format printers alike, produce dynamic roll and rigid output on a virtually endless variety of substrates to better serve end customers, as options for white inks and clear coatings further expand print providers’ product offerings and profitability, said Ricoh.
“Shops new to wide format and those established players are both constantly looking for a competitive advantage - the best approach, the latest technology, the strongest marketing,” said John Fulena, Vice President of the Commercial and Industrial Printing Group at Ricoh USA. “This partnership brings EFI’s top-notch devices into our award-winning portfolio. These additions, combined with our services-led approach, is a powerful combination that provides even more ways for our customers to succeed in a rapidly changing field.”
“We’ve partnered with Ricoh in a variety of ways throughout the years as we’ve both looked to blend our unique strengths to better serve a wide variety of print operations,” said Ken Hanulec, Vice President of Marketing for EFI Inkjet. “By offering these market-leading hybrid printers to Ricoh customers – with Ricoh’s robust service and support organization facilitating tailored, reliable implementations – they can expand their offerings into new areas, which can increase profitability and customer retention, while opening new market opportunities. We’re proud to play a role in that kind of transformation.”
