overview
continuous production. individual messages.
Bring variable text and colour images to roll-fed production. The Pro VC60000 supports the shift from static bulk print to personalised communications, books and other repeatable high-volume applications.
Build high-volume colour workflows around paper flexibility, drying and variable-data production. The Pro VC70000 supports demanding commercial print, publications and direct mail with selectable speed and resolution modes.

statements, invoices & direct mail
Combine document data, branding and targeted messages in one print workflow. Establish record ordering, reconciliation and proof checks before a personalised run is released.
books & commercial publications
On-demand book sections and versioned publications can reduce the need to hold finished inventory. Plan the roll layout around cutting, folding and binding, with sufficient information to track sections through finishing.
inkjet quality
balance detail, colour and paper.
Choose the quality mode and media treatment for the application you intend to produce.
drop-on-demand imaging
Ricoh's variable-drop printheads and pigment ink support text and colour reproduction. The Australian specification lists up to 1,200 × 1,200 dpi at 50 m/min; the fastest mode is not the highest-resolution mode.
paper and drying belong together
Evaluate the paper, ink coverage and dryer configuration as a complete system. A proof should include dense colour areas and the intended downstream handling, not just a light-coverage test page.
productivity
build a reliable roll-fed workflow.
Match processing, running speed and operator access to the production mix.
speed with clear conditions
Ricoh Australia lists 120 m/min at 600 × 600 dpi, or 150 m/min with the high-speed option. The supported weight range changes from 40–250 g/m² at 120 m/min to 64–157 g/m² at 150 m/min.
complex files and variable data
A configured production controller handles the incoming data and print sequence. Check supported data streams, composition software and the method for recovering interrupted or rejected work before installation.
ink replacement during production
The Australian specification lists on-the-fly ink replacement and two 10-litre cartridges per colour. Include consumable access, maintenance and roll changes when planning operator tasks.
finishing & workflow
connect the web to the finished document.
Specify pre- and post-processing around the work, not as separate purchases.
from rolls to books or mail
Unwinding, rewinding, cutting, folding and inserting require a compatible production route. Decide where jobs will be separated, checked and collected, and how finishing will respond to a stopped or restarted run.
Application illustration; not a production sample.
plan the installation
Review the full equipment layout, utility requirements and access for maintenance. Agree how representative jobs will be tested from input file to the final document before the system enters routine production.
