Sun Xerox gets Ricoh to print white ink

Ahmedabad-based Sun Xerox has recently invested in a Ricoh Pro C7500 with a fifth colour station. The machine was supplied and installed by Monotech Systems. 

“It has just been a matter of a couple of months since we started running this all-new Ricoh digital colour production digital press in our facility, but it excels at everything,” Bhaskar Mudaliyar of Sun Xerox said. 

Founded by Panneerselvam Mudaliyar in 2017, Sun Xerox engages in complete commercial printing as well as thermal lamination, plotter cutting, laser colour printing, etc, using a fleet of high-end machines now upgraded with the new Ricoh Pro C7500. His son Bhaskar looks after the production. 

On choosing the new Ricoh digital press, Bhaskar Mudaliyar said, “We have been running other digital presses in our facility for years. However, this true digital workhorse outshines when we compare its print quality, media flexibility, and productivity with the others.”

According to Mudaliyar, Ricoh Pro C7500 brings new vigour to Sun Xerox’s overall printing and production tasks. He said, “This digital colour production press has pushed the boundaries of our print quality, media versatility, special colours, and productivity.” Packed with upgraded features, the Ricoh Pro C7500 is engineered to operate at a speed upgradable up to 95-ppm to print on media of 40- to 470-gsm for producing graphics in the industry’s leading resolution of 2,400x4,800-dpi. 

An additional feature in the Ricoh Pro C7500 for special colours is a fifth colour station filled with seven tonners, which eventually makes the digital press an epitome of 11 colours. Mudaliyar said the company is excited about this expanded colour gamut. He added, “Special colour options in the machine are revolutionary to enhance and embellish graphics beyond the usual CMYK. We will start utilising the white colour option effectively for adding special effects and textures to graphics.”
