Ricoh sticks with Fogra tick

Fogra has stamped its seal of approval on Ricoh’s Pro C751 series, driving home ISO colour quality consistency on all three light production presses in the range.

According to Dave Gully, Ricoh’s product group manager of production printing, the qualification was crucial for the latest additions to its range. Given that the C901 and C900 series were both Fogra certified the company needed a hat trick, to keep a consistent message that its printers are true colour engines.

"Coupled with their superior registration and resolution, these models will deliver consistently excellent colour output regardless of run length. Design agencies and marketing teams would also relate to and benefit from the high levels of quality this machine is capable of producing,” he says.

Ricoh received word of its qualification soon after its industry lunch/launch at Sydney’s Luna Park. The Pro C651EX, Pro C751EX and Pro C751 all qualified to ISO standards.



To certify the range, Fogra tested each component for substrate colour and gloss, permanence and light fastness, short and long run repeatability and rub resistance.

“With the addition of Ricoh’s extensive inline finishing capabilities to add further automation, the Pro C751 series offers a digital solution to meet growing demand that is cost effective and delivers excellent results,” Gully adds.
