Ricoh has launched Ri 1000 Direct to Garment (DTG) printer providing imaginative print providers with a fast and flexible production solution that delivers exceptional image quality. Ri 1000 combines application flexibility with quality, speed, precision and is supported by a new pre-treatment liquid apt for 100 per cent light polyester and polycotton blends.

Faster than the Ri 3000 it replaces, the Ri 1000 delivers greater print quality with enhanced resolution of 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi and supports CMYK plus white ink to ensure dazzling results on fabric of any colour, said Ricoh in a press release.

Appearing at FESPA, Munich, from May 14-17, in response to the growing demand for easy to use, efficient and affordable garment decoration solutions, the Ri 1000 supports the adoption of value added services in new markets. It joins the Ri 100 and Ri 6000 in Ricoh’s rapidly expanding DTG portfolio of solutions.

Quick operation and production versatility are made easy with the ability to smoothly switch between multiple styles of platens up to 406.4 mm x 508 mm. The Ri 1000’s magnetic mechanism enables the platens to easily snap on and off without the need for additional tools. This flexibility supports continuous production and a wide range of print capabilities from children’s sizes to super wide designs.

Minimal maintenance with customisable cleaning options maximises production uptime of the printer. For those maintenance tasks that aren’t automated, the device’s 7-inch touchscreen display provides smart alerts notifying operators when to perform manual maintenance tasks.

“The Ri 1000’s comprehensive functionality, production flexibility and versatility makes it the ideal option for personalised garment printing and print on demand services,” said Graham Kennedy, head of commercial ink jet business, commercial and industrial printing group, Ricoh Europe. “It delivers the perfect combination of smart technology, fast print speeds and high output quality to enable creative print providers to capture genuine business growth opportunities. Its four Ricoh print heads, robust product design, advanced features such as temperature and humidity sensors, and precise ink supply monitoring assure consistently reliable high quality results.”

Ricoh is empowering digital workplaces using innovative technologies and services enabling individuals to work smarter. (PC)
