Ricoh USA has expanded its inkjet portfolio with new monochrome-only RICOH Pro VC40000 model. Joining the full-color Pro VC40000 family, this new K-only platform brings added depth to an extremely diverse inkjet tool set. It empowers printers to produce high-volume monochrome applications 50% faster than the platform’s maximum performance at the original launch while driving down costs. At speeds of 180 m/min (590 ft/min), compared to the Pro VC40000’s already impressive 150 m/min (492 ft/min), printers can now meet faster turnaround times and deliver increased throughput for monochrome applications.

K-only print volumes continue to exceed 300 billion pages annually, with no sign of slowing. At the same time, many K-only toner-based continuous-feed systems are approaching ‘end of life’, leaving many print providers looking for what comes next. Seeing a customer need on the horizon based on countless conversations with print providers, Ricoh worked closely with its allies to develop a solution. In addition to being backed by the company’s long-term, customer-centric approach and broad inkjet portfolio, the monochrome-only RICOH Pro VC40000 model delivers on the fast turn times and high image quality today’s customers demand while driving down operating cost, service cost and capital acquisition cost compared to full-color offerings with comparable features.
