automated finishing

The RICOH Pro™ C900S presents the most complete array of
finishing options that can be combined in one device. Offer
multiple ways of finishing without any extra investments.
Do your clients require basic booklets, or perfect books
with glued backs? You can print them on demand and
accommodate every wish.

The most versatile in-line
finishing solution

First-class documents

Clients expect classy presentation materials, professional colour prints
and beautiful brochures. Create the application you need with the
RICOH Pro™ C900S’s robust 3,000-sheet finisher with 100-sheet stapler.
The optional punch unit saves you time and makes expensive pre-punch
paper redundant. A saddle stitch unit is available for cost-effective
finishing of internal documents.

Automatic booklet creation

Impress your clients with professional booklets. The RICOH Pro™ C900S’s
booklet maker produces accurately folded A5 and A4 sets. Automatically
fold and saddle-stitch booklets of up to 120 pages. The square-fold option
creates booklets with the same look and feel as perfectly bound books.
An optional trimmer gives a truly professional finish.

Advanced z-folding

Including A3 charts and tables in an A4 presentation is straightforward.
The handy Z-folder unit automatically folds A3 sheets into A4 output, or A4
documents into A5. Larger sheets now become a natural part of smaller­sized sets. There are simple answers to complex jobs.

SO6058_PRO C900S brochure.indd 4

Professional cover insertion

To brighten high-value documents, insert a full colour or pre-printed front
and back cover using the double cover interposer. It is the perfect choice
to create product catalogues, user manuals and brochures with a lasting
impression.

sheets, and two can be combined. With the 3,000-sheet finisher,
