Print breathtaking images and striking colour with technologies that separate you from the competition.

Deliver striking, life-like images with VCSEL technology

Take on graphic-intensive work for demanding industries including the arts, beauty, fashion and retail. Ricoh's revolutionary VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) technology emits 40 laser beams simultaneously, resulting in stunning 1200 × 4800 dpi image resolution. Powerful printing technology minimizes colour shift to produce crisp text, fine lines and realistic image reproduction.

Expand your colour range with Ricoh's PxP EQ Toner

Ricoh’s proprietary PxP-EQ Toner spreads evenly while using a minimal amount of toner. This improves density and saturation, resulting in the brilliant colour quality you would expect from an offset printer. As an added benefit, PXP-EQ Toner requires a lower melting point, reducing energy consumption and the associated operating costs.
Registration marks

Precise registration

Accurate front-to-back mechanical registration ensures the highest standard of quality for duplex printing. Confidently produce duplexed print jobs including books, direct mail, business cards and catalogs. The Pro C7100/C7100X Series production printers also feature a colour contact image sensor (CIS) to make sure print jobs on dark and colour media are delivered with the precise, high-quality registration your customers count on.

Produce consistent, uniform colour on every page

To achieve consistent colour, Active Toner Density Control analyzes the file being printed, and automatically determines the optimal quantity of toner to deliver to the Developer Unit, at the precise moment it is needed. Advanced Ricoh colour management technologies continually monitor the system to reduce the chance of uneven toner and ensure colour stability on every page.
