Ricoh Introduces RICOH Pro C9500

Ricoh USA, Inc. announced the next generation of its flagship toner-based color sheet-fed press, the RICOH Pro C9500. Designed with an eye on empowering commercial printers to further evolve from offset to digital, the RICOH Pro C9500 brings new image quality, productivity, and substrate capabilities that will allow customers to unlock new markets and easily manage more creative projects to expand revenue streams.

“The RICOH Pro C9500 marks a significant advancement in empowering production printers with innovative technology to transform and broaden their production capabilities,” said Gavin Jordan-Smith, SVP and GM, head of Global Sales Strategy Division & RGC North America Sales, RICOH Graphic Communications.

“Built on a proven foundation and supported by a range of software options – such as RICOH Supervisor, RICOH TotalFlow Production Manager, and RICOH TotalFlow Producer – print service providers can achieve greater control and automation of their workflows in a complete production ecosystem that’s a gateway to new business and impactful results.”

The RICOH Pro C9500’s newly developed base controller introduces operational and maintenance management improvements. It includes a larger screen with an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, and is compatible with external diagnostic systems and maintenance programs. Users can access the printer from a PC or tablet, and settings can be remotely managed, saving time even in a multi-skilled environment where print operators perform numerous tasks.

The RICOH Pro C9500 also incorporates proven technologies introduced on the RICOH Pro C9200. They include: VCSEL technology (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser), DEMS (Development Electric-field Modulation System), fusing belt smoothing roller, DSC (Dynamic Shading Correction), registration adjustment, and an inline sensor system.
