RISO to Unveil New Product Line at GRAPH EXPO 16 Premiering at this year’s GRAPH EXPO 16 will be the RISO (Booth 1248) ComColor GD Series of Professional Inkjet: a high-speed, full-color printer that delivers prints at speeds up to 160ppm. The GD is the world’s fastest cut sheet inkjet printer (A4, single side short edge), using 5 colors for an exceptional gray scale print quality and lower printing costs. The machine, scheduled for launch in early 2017, comes with an embedded GDI, or 2 optional RIPs. The embedded optional true Adobe PostScript RIP supports Mac/Linux, PDF direct printing, and remote printing from most mobile devices. The optional production RIP, the ComColorExpress FS2000C, is equipped with a Fiery digital front end developed by EFI. This image processor maximizes the ComColor GD series to meet the demands of variable data printing operations that are vital for direct mail or transaction printing, and delivers high-speed data processing to large-volume, complex document data. Newly formulated ink offers high density black and vibrant colors. The ComColor GD Series handles a broad range of paper/ card stock and envelopes from 3x5" to 11x17" with weights ranging from 46gsm to 210gsm (12-lb bond to 56-lb bond). Business inkjet printers Long recognized as the world leader in digital duplicators and an innovator of inkjet printing technology, RISO will also be showcasing a new line of business inkjet printers called the FW Series, and a freshly launched digital duplicator line called the RISO SF Series. The ComColor FW series, launched in the North American market June 15 as a business inkjet printer, delivers high -speed, full color variable data printing at 120 pages per minute as well as improved scanning, copying, and networking capabilities-all in a smaller footprint than previous models. The ComColor series is renowned for high productivity, energy effi ciency, and reliability. The RISO SF series of digital duplicators, launched September 1, incorporates several new improvements, delivering the crisper quality of a true 600x600 dpi, higher speeds than previous models up to 150 sheets per minute-and is an overall easier operation. RISO is also displaying two concept machines, the T1 and T2, that debuted earlier this year. The RISO T1 is a compact, full-color-printer that uses continuous roll-paper instead of cut sheet paper, enabling printers to use the post-processing devices that they already own while incorporating the cost-effectiveness of RISO printing. The RISO T2 system offers a signifi cant improvement in effi ciency for duplex printing, reaching speeds of 300 duplexed prints per minute.
