New Ricoh Production Presses Boast Media Flexibility, Image Quality

RICOH Pro C53000

Ricoh USA this week unveiled a pair of new right-sized sheetfed presses, the RICOH Pro C5300s/C5310s, which combine high-quality color, powerful performance and a range of finishing options. The RICOH Pro C5300s and C5310s can help in-plants bring more work in-house and marketing agencies exceed quality expectations. These models are excellent options for printers looking to deliver more applications with specialty stocks that command premium prices.

Precise registration and color matching pair with support for a wide range of media – including specialty stocks, synthetics, envelopes and oversized sheet options – to empower design creativity while driving accuracy and reliability. Finishing options take this versatility to the next level, helping users create professionally finished saddle-stitch booklets, course guides, marketing materials and presentations. Meanwhile, intuitive controls make this power even more accessible.

“Technological innovation has pushed the sheetfed market forward, first with incredible strides in accuracy, media versatility and image quality, and second, making those advancements accessible to more printers,” says Heather Poulin, VP, Marketing, Commercial Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA. “The RICOH Pro C5300s and C5310s’ affordability and size bring some of the most eye-catching, productivity-enhancing features to an even broader customer base. These presses deliver best-in-class media support for specialty stocks, oversized sheets and heavier weights, a game changer for in-plants and marketing agencies looking to make print pop without breaking the bank.”

The RICOH Pro C5300s and C5310s provide high productivity with full-color, 2,400x4,800 dpi at up to 80 ppm. Built-in sensors aid front-to-back registration, which has received vast compliments from users for duplexing, especially business cards. Also useful for premium applications, these presses maintain their impressive image quality on media up to 360 gsm. 

“Ricoh has always made a point of sitting down with me to understand what technologies would positively impact my business, and this case was no different,” says Jodi Solotoff, Owner, PIP Printing of Livingston, N.J. “To be honest, I couldn’t’ve designed a better press to address today’s print challenges if I’d tried. The media flexibility and image quality of the RICOH Pro C5310s are truly something to behold, and my team is very impressed with the duplexing capabilities. They will give any design team a powerful, creative platform with which to wow customers. The price point, high uptime and compact size, combined with those eye-catching capabilities, make adding a Pro C5300s an attractive option.”

The RICOH Pro C5300s/C5310s’ 10-inch Smart Operation Panel makes managing the many substrate options available significantly easier with an intuitive Paper Library that contains 1,000 preset or custom profiles. Trained Customer Replaceable Units (TCRUs) empower users to execute routine maintenance on their schedule, helping to drive uptime, further contributing to the presses’ reliability.

Both the RICOH Pro C5300s and C5310s are ENERGY STAR^® certified and carry an EPEAT Gold rating.
