The Ricoh stand will demonstrate a range of industrial printing solutions including their latest DTF machines.
Ricoh will be demonstrating its next generation of textile on demand production at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025. Aimed at meeting the high volume digital production demands of industrial markets, a key highlight will be the RICOH Pro™ D1600 DTF system. Ricoh’s industrial printheads help it achieve speeds in excess of 20 sqm per hour for media widths of up to 1300mm film.
Meeting the high volume digital production demands of industrial markets will be the RICOH Pro™ D1600 DTF system. Ricoh’s industrial printheads help it achieve speeds in excess of 20 sqm per hour for media widths of up to 1300mm film.
The system’s inbuilt pre-treatment process facilitates consistent, vibrant, and efficient industrial garment printing on a wide variety of materials including polyester, leather and cotton.
The Pro D1600 incorporates Ricoh inkjet technology designed to deliver speed, versatility, durability, and accurate fluid deposition, with minimal maintenance. Driving consistent and reliable colour accuracy across all showcased textile devices will be ColorGATE Productionserver Version 24, a solution from Ricoh. Additionally, these textile systems enable just-in-time, on-demand, and local production to reduce waste and maximise the use of resources.
Ricoh will also elaborate on how its Valvejet technology addresses the industrial painting and coating market’s requirements for higher viscosity fluids, longer throw distances, and larger drop sizes. This will be demonstrated using Ricoh’s industrial tyre printing solution developed for the high end customisation market.
Focus will also be on the R & D developer community where collaboration between suppliers can facilitate fast time to market. Printheads, drive electronics, drop watching, and curing are key elements in a fragmented supply chain and Ricoh will advise visitors on navigating this complex process.
Graham Kennedy, General Manager, Industrial Solutions, Ricoh Printing Solutions Europe, says: “Ricoh technology powers a wide range of industrial solutions and we are looking forward to demonstrating real life applications at FESPA. The potential for innovative development with partners and clients is limitless.”
