Data B. Mailservice strengthens position in high volume inkjet with Ricoh Pro VC20000

Ricoh Europe, London, 06 October 2020 – Data B. Mailservice has strengthened its delivery of high volume colour inkjet, leading the world by becoming the first to invest in a Ricoh Pro™ VC20000 colour continuous feed inkjet press.

Thanks to the clever single engine duplex concept, the Ricoh Pro VC20000 has a small footprint and can produce double-sided full colour at a speed of 150 metres per minute. Liana Willems-Klaster, Director Data B. Mailservice, says: “Print remains important, in addition to all digital channels. It remains relevant but this requires us to continue to operate efficiently. This is particularly so in our transactional mail market as competition is fierce. Investment in the new continuous feed Ricoh Pro VC20000 puts us ahead of the curve once again. It is a very compact system that offers high print quality at a very attractive cost. We were immediately convinced when we saw it at Ricoh's European Customer Experience Centre. Other parties cannot compete with its price/quality ratio.” The Dutch cross media specialist, that delivers comprehensive package of digital services, began its successful switch to full colour inkjet printing in 2012 with the installation of a Ricoh IP5000.

A second IP5000 followed and was later replaced by a Ricoh Pro™ VC60000 high volume inkjet production system. Adds Willems-Klaster: “We made the next step in quality with the Pro VC60000. The shift in print volumes means that, in addition to our specialism in transactional mail, we now also produce more applications including leaflets.”

Sander Sondaal, Director of Commercial Print Sales at Ricoh Europe's Commercial and Industrial Printing Group, says: “This is exactly why we at Ricoh continue to innovate with inkjet. Only in this way can we and our clients help to make a difference in the rapidly changing market.”
