Ricoh uses Sign and Digital UK for kit introductions

Ricoh UK will use Sign and Digital UK 2019 (2-4 April, NEC Birmingham) to showcase its new Ricoh Pro L5130/5160 latex printers, new Ricoh Pro TF6250 UV flatbed, and new Ricoh Ri 1000 mid-range direct-to-garment printer.

Ricoh’s presence at the show is said to be part of its global ‘Ignite’ strategy to expand into display printing with inkjet applications, and national sales director Simon Issacs said of the move: “As with our hugely successful approach to the commercial print market, we’re looking to help wide-format sign and display printers to increase their margins, keep ahead of the competition, and improve customer satisfaction. Our customers tell us they value our partnership approach because we are helping them through their analogue to digital transition.” Scheduled UK availabiity is: May 2019 for the Ri 1000, March/April for the latex machines, and June/July for the flatbed.
