Ricoh has announced a new set of capabilities for its Ricoh Pro VC60000 continuous-feed inkjet platform. “These new features will empower customers to print more productively, save time and money, and expand their portfolio of offerings,” said the OEM. The new enhancements include:
- Increased speed. The Pro VC60000 can now achieve production speeds of 150 metres per minute, a 25% increase in maximum speed, while maintaining print quality.
- Multiple print modes and CMY printhead parking. For users who want to run a variety of applications, including full-colour or black and white, they can selectively engage the printhead modules on the Pro VC60000. Printhead arrays not required for a specific application can be disengaged. This provides cost savings and flexibility when printing in black and white.
-
Extensions to colour control. Customers will now be able to add custom colour control bars, and perform spot-colour editing as well as dynamic colour substitutions that provide more flexibility when generating full-colour applications. - Productivity and application enhancements. Users will now have more choices as to how applications are processed, stored and reproduced with new RIP & Print options. Also, the Pro VC60000’s Digital Front End now calculates and compensates in real time for any changes in paper characteristics that might impact image placement and print quality. Customers can also utilize a supported printable sheet size of 20 x 54 inches (maximum page length of 1,371 mm), making the transition of offset and cut-sheet digital applications much easier.
The new features should be implemented later this spring, said Ricoh.
