Ricoh is all set to display its high volume printer, the Pro C900 at Total Print! Expo for the very first time in the UK. The kit is expected to be the biggest exhibitor at the show to be held in Earls Court 2 London and runs from October 14th till the 16th.
Other printers on display will be the Pro 1356EX and MPC7500 with E7100 Fiery server.
C900 features a Fiery RIP that can print at speeds of 90ppm and can handle a paper capacity of 300gsm.
A RIP (Raster Image Processor) is a software (even when called “hardware RIP it is still just software, which is explained in the FLAAR Report which is available from our university). This software takes your image and text and tells the wide format printer where and how to place each squirt of ink on the paper. The PostScript (from Adobe or an emulation from Harlequin or comparable) tells the printer how to make the alphanumeric portion of your text look nice (eliminates the jaggies). (via LFP)
Along with the device, Ricoh will exhibit a range of in-line finishing kit for the C900 that includes a ring binder, perfect binder, Plockmatic booklet maker and GBC punch unit.
