Ricoh To Take Production Printing To The Next Level At Northprint 2009

March 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Ricoh UK will be addressing the current business concerns affecting both in-house and commercial printers at Northprint 2009. Visitors to the Ricoh stand (A135) will be able to experience new digital print solutions that will help them win business in the present economic climate, while reducing their costs and increasing productivity.

Focussing on four key areas of print workflow; job submission & routing, document composition, automated workflow and additional services, there will be demonstrations geared to help printers maximise hardware investments and Ricoh consultants available to discuss visitors’ issues.

“We have been working with our customers to find out which issues are currently at the top of their agendas,” explains Karen Lawrence, professional print solutions marketing manager at Ricoh UK. “Based on these discussions, we will be able to offer visitors to Northprint advice on how to address these challenges, insight into the developing digital marketplace and guidance on maximising existing investments with workflow solutions.

“Having the right devices in place is only the first step to operating a productive print room.”

Visitors to the stand (A135) will also be able to view Ricoh’s digital presses, including the Pro C900 and the new high volume black and white Pro 1357 and Pro 1357EX.
