Jobs can also be personalized with stapling or other finishing touches in one continuous job with accurate subset processing. Processing speed utilizes enhanced memory architecture, including 1 GB RAM standard and two 160 GB hard drives.

The Ricoh Pro C720s is a versatile color system that represents an advance in efficiency and productivity, combining consistent 1200 dpi output with 72 pages-per-minute speed. It utilizes Ricoh’s new image processing technology for unsurpassed quality and quick turnaround times, and can handle a wide range of media, including weight ranges up to 110 lb. cover. Its modular design enables a number of input and output configurations, and it offers many production tools for advanced page programming requirements, including high-resolution scanning, copying and automatic distribution to multiple destinations, including e-mail, URL and FTP.

About Knight Media
Knight Media, Inc. began life as Knight Manufacturing, Inc., a company with rotary offset equipment that primarily served business forms brokers, office supplies and other resellers of forms. As the forms market changed gradually, Knight Manufacturing did as well with the addition of larger sheet-fed equipment and a completely new line-up of products which includes process color posters, flyers, booklets, event and advertising collateral in the half-size format. Along the way, graphic design, website design, direct mail capabilities, and full bindery capabilities were added. While this transition was going on, a decision was made to rename the company to more appropriately describe our products – Knight Media, Inc. – our present name. With the addition of the new digital equipment, short run black & white or color and the ability to add variable data and mailing operations in the same pass, plus an online bindery has met with huge acceptance from our clients, both with agency and direct retail sales.
