RICOH unveils newest direct-to-garment printer

RICOH has announced new Ri 100 joining the company’s Ricoh Ri 3000/Ri 6000 printers in building upon RICOH and AnaJet’s istory of fast, high-quality garment printing. The new printer prints up to 1200 x1200 dpi in vivid mode, leveraging RICOH’s industry standard-setting printheads and modular drop-size technology. Ri 100 comes in at a much lower cost than traditional DTG printers. He also stated that RICOH’s ink costs are among the lowest in the industry. Ri 100 is bundled with an intuitive heating system that removes wrinkles from fabric, creating a smooth surface for printing, and then cures the ink after, helping to fix the design in place for long lasting, color-fast prints. The heating unit was designed with simplicity and safety in mind, helping those new to DTG printing easily produce a finished product.
