applications

give good ideas more room.

From catalogues and photo books to extended-format collateral, plan the press around the finished piece.

Stack of glossy printed magazines/catalogues

catalogues, covers & short-run packaging

Combine image-rich pages with selected heavier stocks for covers, counter cards and packaging applications. Test the particular substrate and its planned crease or fold; a supported weight is not a guarantee that every material will suit the job.

Six different covers for personalised Vision of Light publications

personalisation & versioned campaigns

Digital production lets you change offers and imagery without producing every version as a separate static run. Agree the data fields, proofing process and print sequence before moving personalised work into production.

Pro C9500 open paper-path mechanism, shown for oversized media handling

long sheets with the right feed path

Ricoh Australia lists sheets up to 330 × 1,260 mm with suitable options, and media from 40 to 470 g/m². Long-sheet, duplex and tray limits need to be considered together for fold-outs and extended covers.

colour & quality

keep colour under control.

Combine detailed imaging, registration and suitable automation for repeatable commercial work.

Front/back postcard or mailer samples illustrating print registration

detail and front-to-back alignment

The Australian specification lists 2,400 × 4,800 dpi output, with an engine resolution of 1,200 × 4,800 dpi. Registration control helps align duplex work where trim edges, borders and page placement are especially visible.

Two floral packaging mock-ups used for colour consistency illustration

automated colour diagnosis

The optional Auto Colour Diagnosis Unit supports colour and registration adjustment during production. Configure it alongside the selected controller and establish how operators will check and handle exceptions.

Gloss and matte versions of a colourful Ferris wheel print

proof the finished result

Evaluate colour on the chosen stock and under agreed viewing conditions. Include lamination, coating or other downstream processes in the approval sample when they form part of the finished job.

productivity

keep demanding work moving.

Match engine speed, processing capacity and paper handling to the shape of your production day.

operator control at production scale

115 ppm, upgradeable to 135 ppm

The Australian configuration runs at 115 A4 pages per minute, or 135 ppm with the optional Productivity Upgrade Unit Type S15. Feeding, media, job processing and finishing also influence completed-job throughput.

broader media possibilities

capacity for longer runs

Ricoh Australia lists a maximum input of 21,900 sheets with options. Choose the feeder combination for the stocks you use, rather than assuming every tray accepts the same paper range.

Pro C9500 control monitor showing paper settings

repeatable media setup

Stored paper settings give operators a starting point for repeat work. Combine these with controller job presets and an agreed check sheet so a recurring order can be prepared consistently.

finishing

make the output customer-ready.

Bring printing and finishing into one considered production route.

Close-up of saddle-stitched booklets.

saddle-stitched and folded work

Use compatible inline options for booklets, folded communications, punching and stacking. Match the equipment to the application, including the feed direction and finished size.

explore PBM5000 booklet making

Plockmatic lists the Pro C9500 family for its PBM5000 systems. The chosen booklet maker, bridge/interface and press configuration must be specified together; not every finishing option can be combined in one line.
