New RICOH Ri 2000 textile printer boosts business productivity

With blazingly fast print speeds, easy operation, simplified maintenance, and advanced software solutions, the RICOH Ri 2000 enables increased production and cost savings.

Weston, October 13, 2021 - Ricoh responds to garment printers' needs for increased productivity with the new RICOH Ri 2000, featuring innovative design, intuitive operation, and the traditional ease-of-use of the brand's direct-to-garment (DTG) printers. Available in Latin America from August 2021, this new generation system facilitates the production of promotional and personalized products in larger volumes or with tighter deadlines.

The Ricoh Ri 2000 prints at a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi on a wide range of fabrics, from T-shirts or tote bags to a wide range of special applications such as canvas footwear, caps, sweatshirts, and more. It is also compatible with the production of textile face masks and safety waistcoats. Thanks to the flexibility of the magnetic platen mechanism and the automatic table height adjustment, changing from one type of garment to another is quick and easy.

"The Ricoh Ri 2000 takes direct-to-garment printing to the next level. Built to world-class engineering and design standards, the RICOH Ri 2000 offers uncompromising high performance, innovative features, and unmatched value," explains Angel Bustamante, Vice President, Commercial & Industrial Printing, at Ricoh Latin America. "By working closely with direct textile printing customers during the product development phase, companies can benefit from the advantages of a ready-to-use textile printing solution. The Ri 2000 printer meets the needs of digital print providers, online retail organizations in the personalized apparel retail sector, and traditional companies that offer added value by printing on garments. The system adds as a flagship solution to Ricoh's textile printing portfolio, which already includes the Ricoh Ri 1000.

The Ri 2000 model is positioned as the new benchmark in terms of productivity and efficiency in its category. This is achieved through the integration of advanced hardware and software:
It enables color consistency, automation of production workflows, and the creation of white layers for printing on dark garments with the ColorGATE Textile Production Server.

La Ri 2000 monitoriza continuamente el suministro de tinta y los niveles de temperatura y humedad para reducir al mínimo la intervención humana necesaria.

Intuitively guides the operator with its 7-inch color touch screen, which displays a creative preview and shows maintenance alerts for non-automated tasks.

Simplifies maintenance with automated cleaning and an innovative printhead cleaning template that eliminates the need to manually maintain printhead nozzles.
