A second neon toner – pink in addition to the existing yellow – adds more ‘pop’ to print from the Pro C7100X and wins it a Print21 Technology HotPick.
Printing with a fifth toner station enormously increases the potential of the new Ricoh engine. Not only can printers now expand their gamut beyond CMYK they can choose from four different toners; clear gloss and white as well as neon yellow and, now, neon pink. This latter was first showcased on the Ricoh stand at PacPrint in a technology demonstration.
The mix of toners taps into the growing demand for extra value printing, whether as spot coating or neon highlighting. White toner is proving to be hugely popular as digital printers move upstream in marketing applications. The Pro C7100X is also proving its worth in laying down an increased level of toner to the media to improve image quality on textured stocks for higher value output.
A new vacuum feed LCIT enhances reliability with a three-belt paper pick up with side air fan. This ensures dependable feeding accuracy for a wide variety of media types, including coated, textured, coloured and clear media with weights up to 360gsm.
And it won for Ricoh a Print21 Technology HotPick.
