Ricoh to Showcase HQ9000 Priport Digital Duplicator at Graph Expo 2006

    CHICAGO, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Corporation, the leading
provider of digital office equipment, today announced that its high volume
HQ9000 Priport digital duplicator will be featured during Graph Expo 2006
being held at McCormick Place in Chicago from October 15-18, 2006. Located
at booth #3274, Ricoh will be demonstrating the speed and quality
production capabilities of the HQ9000 Priport, which will be equipped with
Ricoh SeriPrinter model 25 and a TC-IIR Digital Production Printer.
    First introduced in May, the HQ9000 Priport offers print speeds as fast
as 135 pages per minute (ppm) and professional quality resolution of 600
dots per inch (dpi). In addition, the HQ9000 Priport is able to create
prints on 8" x 11" documents, 4" x 6" postcards, 11" x 17" newsletter
stock, as well as envelopes, vellum and NCR (No Carbon Required) paper,
allowing the in-house production of an array of business and marketing
materials.
    The TC-IIR Digital Production Printer can be integrated with the HQ9000
Priport to save time and cut costs on multicolor jobs by printing two
colors in one pass. When paired with the Ricoh SeriPrinter Model 25, HQ9000
Priport production quality is also further enhanced with instantaneous ink
drying capabilities.
    Besides providing superior print production capabilities, the HQ9000
Priport also keeps total cost of ownership (TCO) at an affordable level.
This benefit is made possible by the HQ9000 Priport's ability to use less
ink than a high-speed copier as well as its highly reliable architecture,
which keeps maintenance calls to a minimum. Additionally, power consumption
is also reduced through a series of cost-saving technologies, including
auto shut-off mode that switches power off during pauses, energy-saver mode
that cuts power 85 percent during printing lulls, and economy mode.
    Understanding the amount of time allocated to systems management, Ricoh
has made several utilities -- Web Image Monitor, SmartDeviceMonitor and
DeskTop Binder -- available with the HQ9000 Priport to expedite as well as
improve the process for both the users and IT managers. As for network
installation, the HQ9000 Priport can connect with any standalone computer
or networked operating system with a standard embedded computer interface
and has an optional wireless adapter to simplify the procedure. Also, an
optional PostScript(R) 3 driver provides industry standard output and MAC
compatibility.
    The Ricoh HQ9000 Priport is available at the starting suggested retail
price of $18,605.00.
