Next-Generation RICOH Pro 8400 Series Sets New Standards

Ricoh announced its new monochrome production printers – the RICOH Pro 8400 Series (RICOH Pro 8400S/8410S/8420S and Pro 8410/8420) – setting a new standard in reliability and sustainability in the production market.

Designed with current monochrome printing trends in mind, the Series represents the fourth generation of Ricoh’s customer-proven and market-leading production platforms.

As offset-to-digital transformation continues its acceleration, the challenge of managing converging workflows, mail streams, transactional applications and producing variable data on pre-printed shells has placed pressures on Print Service Providers (PSPs) and In-Plants when evaluating their existing monochrome production operations and current Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

With print speeds ranging from 96ppm (8400S) up to 136ppm (8420), customers can easily provide a common production device to all users with economy of scale. The RICOH Pro 8400 Series addresses critical market concerns with its smaller footprint and versatile configurations.

In-plants within the government, K-12 and university segments can take advantage of the RICOH Pro 8400 Series for both walk-up office environments and production by simply configuring the devices to reflect the individual department or location’s needs.

The modularity and design at the point of need makes the Series ideal to address organizations seeking to “right-size” their walk-up, office and production environments to reflect evolving remote and hybrid workforces.

In-Plants in the manufacturing market producing manuals and instructions can utilize the RICOH Pro 8400 Series to print on substrates from 40gsm to 350gsm, while reducing their shipping costs and manual processing by printing on demand. In the healthcare, financial and insurance segments, shorter run-length on Explanations of Benefits (EOBs), monthly statements and compliance documents can be supported.

“The RICOH Pro 8400 series represents a continued investment in technology that surpasses expectations in mono production,” said Gavin Jordan-Smith, SVP and GM, head of global sales strategy division & RICOH Graphic Communications North America Sales, RICOH Graphic Communications. “By incorporating the latest technology for precise registration and superior image quality in a space-saving, sheet-fed device that’s built in the tradition of Ricoh’s enduring commitment to sustainability, this series not only advances production workflows, but also empowers our customers to expand their offerings and grow their business in a more environmentally responsible way.
