Ricoh Europe, London, 10 June 2016 – UK transactional print specialist CFH Docmail has chosen a Ricoh Pro™ C9110 heavy duty digital colour sheetfed press to extend its digital print capabilities. The deal was signed on Ricoh’s drupa 2016 stand in Hall 8a.

It services 26,000 clients, mostly small businesses from almost every business arena. Specialist sectors include medical and health, plus financial, and local government.

“We have a huge client base and it has grown significantly thanks to our reputation for excellent service,” states David Broadway, CFH Docmail Managing Director.

CFH Docmail, which already runs a Ricoh Pro C5100 digital colour cut sheet printer, chose the Ricoh Pro C9110 press after a six month investigation of the solutions available on the market.
