Forest Print is proud to announce the arrival of its brand new
state-of-the-art Ricoh Pro C651EX digital printer. We’ve used many different
digital printers over the years, but we firmly believe this Ricoh model is
cutting edge 2013 printing technology at its best.
As you are probably well aware, Forest Print cares about the environment,
and that is the first reason why we chose Ricoh over the other major digital
printing brands. Like Forest Print, Ricoh is dedicated to creating eco-friendly
products, producing as small an ecological footprint as possible, and staying
loyal to being carbon neutral. The Ricoh Pro C651EX is a ‘carboNZero’ certified
product, and Ricoh itself is the first technology based service organisation in
Australia to achieve carboNZero certification after being approved by this
internationally accredited program.
Now for the printer itself – this beautiful piece of machinery produces the highest quality digital prints we’ve ever witnessed on a digital printer. With a printing resolution of 1200 x 4800 dpi, your print jobs will always be a precise reproduction. To tell you the truth, a lot of people think this is as close as you can get to the quality of offset printing in a digital context. Here are just a few more reasons why we love this digital printer:
The Ricoh Pro C651EX is
fast, yet it’s also very stable. How fast you ask? It can print up to 65 A4
colour pages per minute, or 5,000 business cards in the same amount of time. Even
though it’s lightning quick, as the machine only uses one large roller, there
is a much smaller chance for errors to occur, and the resulting works are of
very high quality. The Ricoh also has a scanner function, which allows us to
print if no digital file exists, even if it’s from a very thick book. Plus, it
has an automatic document feeder that scans piles of full-colour, greyscale, or
black and white images at the rate of 75 per minute. Awesome!
The next aspect of the Ricoh
Pro C651EX that blew us away is its ability to print on a range of different
paper stocks, with thicknesses of 300gsm simplex and 256gsm duplex not being an
issue. Unlike other digital printers, the special toner can sink into this
thicker paper. This is great for Forest Print because we love to print on
recycled paper, much of which is quite rough and doesn't usually bode very well
in a digital printing context. This oil-free fusing technology is what helps to
create such offset-like reproductions.
Lastly, Forest Print’s
new digital printer has the ability to finish complete printing projects. It
has 100-sheet multi-positioned stapling for booklets, it can do saddle
stitching, folding, and it has the ability to punch holes of different sizes
for 50-100 sheet documents. Give Forest Print a call about your newest printing
job, and we’ll show you the latest in eco-friendly digital printing technology.
