Ricoh Announces New Pro L4000 Printers

Ricoh has announced its new Ricoh Pro L4000 (TM) series of printers, which use durable latex ink in a number of colours.

This type of ink has a low environmental impact because of its aqueous nature and is available in colours such as light cyan, light magneta and white. In addition, the devices feature jetting print head technology, enabling three different drop sizes to be used at one time.

Peter Williams, executive vice president of Ricoh Europe and head of Ricoh's production printing business group, said: "The Ricoh Group has been at the forefront of inkjet technology research and development for many years and now the time is right to launch an extremely competitive large format inkjet printer range."

News of Ricoh's new printers comes after Epson launched its WorkForce models.

These have been built to meet the requirements of small and medium-sized businesses, with the Epson WorkForce WF-7011 colour A3 single function printer and the WorkForce WF-7511 printers being the first to be released.
