TOKYO, Japan - October 21, 2019 - Ricoh Company, Ltd., (Tokyo, Japan) today announced that it will extend the applications capability of progressive printing businesses by adding to the paper feed and paper output options for its RICOH Pro C9200 and RICOH Pro C7200 product lines of heavy and mid–production digital colour sheetfed presses.

New binding capabilities, including saddle stitching for long sheet media and SquareFold finishing*1,   will enable users to find it easier to deliver applications that are in growing demand, including A4/LT landscape booklets and manuals, saddle stitched catalogues, manuals and reports with covers using heavyweight and coated paper, and high quality finished saddle stitch catalogues and manuals using SquareFold finishing. Furthermore, enterprise users will be able to keep more outsourced documents in-house.

The new EFI Fiery servers for the RICOH Pro C9200 and RICOH Pro C7200 product lines are built on the latest Fiery FS350 Pro software and offer enhanced performance and new features designed to help clients produce more superlative output and be more productive.    For the RICOH Pro C7200x five color models, the E-86A and E-46A print servers include a new, exclusive 5th color calibration feature to ensure clients receive the best quality output on high value, 5th color applications while helping to further reduce manual adjustments prior to printing.
