Increase Productivity, Grow Revenue
Whether you want to add full-color capacity, offload work from other systems or migrate select jobs to more cost-effective technology, the RICOH Pro C900 provides the speed and productivity you need to generate more revenue.
• Deliver every document faster with a 90 page-per-minute print engine. Compared to an 80 page-per-minute device, this engine yields 24,000 more color pages every week.
• Never let your choice of media hinder productivity. The RICOH Pro C900 handles heavy media weights—up to 110 lb. Cover through the 13" x 19.2" Large Capacity Tray—without slowing down, so you can reduce turnaround time for direct mail, Variable Data Printing (VDP) and other applications that require heavier media.
• Replace Toner Bottles, reload and auto-link Media Trays without stopping jobs in progress, enabling long, unattended print runs. Toner yield is unprecedented at 72,000 prints per bottle.
• Access the advanced print controller and program tasks quickly through the user-friendly, easy-to-read, 10.4-inch color touch-screen display.
Intelligent Color Management allows you to adjust color output to suit a variety of application-specific needs.
The Air-Assist Media Feed Mechanism blows air between individual sheets to counteract static cling and eliminate multi-feeds, making it easy for you to run more jobs that require coated media.
Consistent, Repeatable Quality
In any operation, the RICOH Pro C900 can quickly become the go-to system for consistent, high-quality color output. Its innovative design is geared to provide steady, reliable results on a wide variety of media, even in demanding light production environments.
• Impress your customers with outstanding 1200 x 1200 dpi image quality. By matching the resolution of higher-volume systems, the RICOH Pro C900 lets you redirect short-run color jobs to a more affordable alternative.
• Minimize density reduction in high color coverage areas with a stabilizing, single-direction development method.
• Enhance image quality in high-density areas with the newly formulated developer.
• Take advantage of more consistent color quality from print-to-print and throughout long print runs with innovative sensors that adjust and compensate for minor color shifts in the imaging process.
The RICOH Pro C900 is perfect for Variable Data Printing, an application that is increasing in popularity and can help you attract new customers.
