Ricoh finishers boost low end black-and-white productivity
Unique to Ricoh, the StreamPunch™ Inline Punch System by GBC, and the Ricoh Booklet Making System by Plockmatic are designed to save businesses time and money by bringing specialist document finishing in-line.
“This new technology enables low end black-and-white production devices to perform tasks that were once only the domain of high-end productivity environments, or which required large amounts of manned labour,” explains Ricoh General Manager Marketing, Sue McGinley.
Ricoh StreamPunch™
Previously, end users in many production and corporate environments had to punch documents manually, hand loading each individual lift of paper into a separate tabletop punch prior to binding. Now, the Ricoh StreamPunch™ system provides ready-to-bind documents at the touch of a button.
Teaming up with the world leader in binding solutions, Ricoh has integrated GBC’s hole-punching technology into its range of digital imaging systems.
The recently awarded Ricoh StreamPunch™ provides a flexible, fully integrated punching solution for the production of high quality documentation and presentation materials. This new technology is compatible with the Aficioä 1060, 1075, 2090 and 2105. It dramatically lowers the overall cost of production, and as each page is punched at the rated speed of the print engine, productivity is not compromised.
Ricoh Booklet Making System
This exclusive BookletMaker system developed for Ricoh by Plockmatic is another in-line finishing option for business environments with booklet production needs. The system produces large quantities of booklets, is incredibly productive, offers high quality output and exceptional reliability. Available as an attachment for mid to high volume devices, the Ricoh Plockmatic BookletMaker offers exceptional value for money, bringing high volume production finishing in-house.
The Plockmatic BookletMaker SR90 can produce booklets up to 80 pages (20 sheets) in finished A5, A4 or custom sizes. The booklet maker automatically adjusts to the required paper size and thickness. Suited to high volume applications the system allows the copier to maintain its rated speed and requires minimal operator support.
To further enhance document quality the optional Trimmer TR90 cleans away the ‘shingling’ that occurs on thick documents while the Cover Inserter CF90 integrates pre-printed covers for professional presentation quality.
To produce books that have the same look and feel as perfectly bound books, or glue binding, but without the messy disadvantages, the Square End Booklet Finisher BF90+ automatically creates an end spine. This option also allows the copier to print text directly onto the spine of the book for easier identification.
