Ricoh Europe expands with Kyocera TASKalfa Pro 15000c

Multiple sectors to benefit from productive inkjet system.

High speed productivity is combined with affordability in the newest addition to Ricoh’s sheetfed inkjet portfolio – the TASKalfa Pro 15000c. It is now available in selected EMEA countries, levering the strong experience and successful sales activities achieved by Ricoh USA.

Following the successful agreement between Kyocera and Ricoh USA, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c joins the Ricoh Europe Graphic Communications portfolio as a high performance sheetfed inkjet solution. The colour SRA3 sheetfed press delivers fast single pass printing at speeds of 150 A4 pages per minute.

The TASKalfa system is the fruit of collaboration between Kyocera and Ricoh. For example, it harnesses Ricoh input and output media technologies, such as the Large Capacity Tray (LCT) and high capacity stackers, and the system is engineered to sustain duty cycles of up to 1,000,000 sheets per month and reliably processes a broad range of media substrates with weights up to 360 gsm.

Developed with transactional printing and mailing houses in mind, the efficient, versatile, and economical system delivers cost effective, high speed production printing. It provides an accessible entry point into inkjet technology and backup solution for a wide range of high volume print environments and opens new opportunities for print rooms in sectors including education, government, healthcare, and financial and professional services.

TASKalfa Pro 15000c benefits include:

• Eco-friendly - Uses water-based inks and consumes significantly less energy (up to 70% less) than comparable toner-based printers, reducing carbon footprint.

• Easy installation - Designed to run on standard power with no specific infrastructure, it allows for installation across many different types of print environments.

• Cost effective - Offers a lower cost per page and strong ROI for high volume printing.

• Versatile media handling - Supports a variety of paper sizes and weights up to 360gsm.

• Reliable and durable - Uptime is maximised and supported by remote servicing options.

• Scalable - Small footprint that minimises space impact, with the flexibility to grow as demand increases.

An optional 4,000 sheet inline finisher enables end to end production for folded letters, tri-fold brochures, and booklets. It delivers stapling for up to 100 sheets, booklet folding and stapling for up to 20 sheets, and two- and three-hole punching. Productivity and colour management can be enhanced with the optional Fiery controller.

“Developed with Kyocera, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c reflects our close collaboration with partners to solve real production challenges,” says Sander Sondaal, Director Commercial Print Sales, Graphic Communications Group, Ricoh Europe. “We know our clients require outstanding flexibility to handle a diverse range of jobs quickly, efficiently, and reliably and this press delivers, while also opening up new opportunities to extend application capabilities and production agility.”

"The launch highlights our longstanding partnership with Ricoh, combining Kyocera’s robust and world renowned inkjet technology with Ricoh’s service expertise and market reach to create new opportunities for clients across a wide range of production settings,” says Scott Rankin, General Manager Sales EMEA, Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management.

The TASKalfa Pro 15000c is fully supported by Ricoh’s expert service team and will be available at the Ricoh Europe Customer Experience Centre (CEC) in Great Britain for live demonstrations.
