Ricoh launched the Ricoh Pro TF6251 hybrid flatbed UV printer.
Building on the Ricoh Pro TF6250, the all in one hybrid system supports the versatile production of a wider range of applications for sign and display, industrial, graphic arts and interior decor.
It also delivers high productivity with its 12 Ricoh inkjet print heads.
On its compact 2.5m x 1.3m sized table, the print heads enable flatbed print speeds of up to 116 sqm per hour in four color draft mode. For roll print, speeds are up to 67 sqm per hour in four color draft mode.
It comes with a choice of two types of inks - the Ricoh DG130 versatile UV ink that offers high adhesion and Ricoh GP120 graphic art UV ink (for roll to roll only) that delivers high color gamut for greater flexibility.
"Ricoh developed this flexible solution in response to clients’ production needs. It is a timely addition to our portfolio, particularly as operations strive to find ways during the pandemic to develop their services while remaining competitive and adaptable," said Graham Kennedy, director, Industrial Print, Commercial and Industrial Printing Group, Ricoh Europe. "The Pro TF6251 combines our market-leading inkjet head technology expertise with our proven flatbed and roll-fed capabilities to create a highly versatile and responsive solution. We believe it will open up a number of production possibilities for print operations that are looking to be increasingly creative with the services they deliver and the markets they serve.”
The Ricoh Pro TF6251 will be available starting Jan. 1, 2021, in Europe.
