RICOH Pro VC70000/Pro VC70000e

The Pro VC70000 enables printing on coated offset papers with no media priming or pretreatment required, providing immediate savings on supplies and hardware. Support for media from 40 to 250 gsm, including IJ coated, IJ treated and uncoated papers, allows you to make the most cost-effective selection for your clients. A longer paper length supports signatures up 54", providing yet another way to print more efficiently and create less waste.

With a combination of features that enable outstanding image quality and consistent color, the Pro VC70000 allows you to transition offset graphic arts work more easily to digital, including high-value applications like direct mail, brochures, sales collateral, catalogs, custom publications, high-volume store signage and more. Take advantage of greater short-run and fast-turn efficiencies to compete for a wider variety of profitable work.

The Pro VC70000 delivers powerful variable data printing (VDP) capabilities to create the effective and efficient data-driven communications that today's marketers rely on. Utilize variable text and images to make every page as unique as the end consumer it's intended to captivate, without slowing down your workflows. Make that messaging stand out with vibrant color and crisp, consistent text — no matter how long the print run.

Whether you need help transitioning to inkjet equipment and workflows or are looking to take your offerings to the next level, Ricoh is by your side. We offer decades of inkjet experience, and our methodical, consultative approach helps our experts understand your exact needs. We'll help you capture efficiencies, seamlessly offer new applications and grow your business with campaign and development services.

The Pro VC70000 features the latest generation of Ricoh stainless steel, piezo drop-on-demand inkjet printheads, with 10 heads per color in the printhead array. Each is capable of dynamically jetting variable-drop sizes to optimize ink usage and ensure fine lines and text are crisp and sharp, color blocks are consistent and flesh-tones and grayscales are smooth. Park color printheads when printing monochrome for more cost-effective operation.

Further removing the barriers to moving jobs from offset are our extended gamut inks. The combination of Ricoh's extended gamut inks and innovative dryer technology allows for a greater amount of ink to be laid down, which means increased color saturation and the ability to reproduce a wider range of colors. When printing on offset coated papers, there is no need to prime the paper or apply a post-printing coating, saving time and supply costs.

The new, advanced drying technologies developed for the Pro VC70000 cure inks inline and provide outstanding results when printing on offset coated paper at high production speeds. Cockling correction irons and flattens the page, which is critical for professional results and produces less waste when printing on lightweight media, especially for high ink coverage jobs.

Ricoh has the expertise to help you identify and implement a color management strategy built around your goals. Learn how to achieve the highest level of color quality, save on ink costs and secure your G7 Master Printer Qualification.
