RICOH Print Evolution Live sheds light on New Flora X20

RICOH Print Evolution Live event, which marked the second edition this year, was held at Telford, England. Product which took centre stage at the event was the newly launched RICOH Flora X20 UV hybrid printer. Shown for the first time at the live event, the all new RICOH UV flatbed printer had standout features including a maximum resolution of 1200dpi, as well as top speeds of 116sqm/hr in draft mode and 25 sq m/hr in quality mode, opening up all manner of applications to users. The 2.0m wide hybrid printer can handle many rigid substrates, up to 51mm thick, as well as flexible media applications with ease producing high quality and vibrant prints.

RICOH Flora X20 UV flatbed printer is an ideal solution for those businesses that are tight for space or have access difficulties for traditional true UV flatbed systems. This UV printer is powered by the professional RICOH ColorGATE RIP which is expandable when needs grow. For additional flexibility, further RICOH or third-party devices – including finishing solutions – can be added at any time in the future. Other highlights on the machine are that it runs with RICOH’s coveted GEN6 high-speed piezo durable printheads (MH5320), offering a 5pl droplet size with multidrop capability. In addition, it can be supplied in three ink set combinations, including six-colour mode with CMYK, plus white and clear, all on GEN6 printheads.
