Ricoh Europe, London, 20 July 2016 – Ricoh has expanded its portfolio of wide format production systems by making the Ricoh MP CW2201SP available all over Europe as well as the Middle East and Africa. This new generation multifunction wide format printer combines outstanding productivity and levels of usability. It offers companies superior mono to colour print production value, delivering high-speed monochrome printing at 3.8 A1 pages per minute and colour prints at 2.1 A1 pages per minute.

The printer is designed for CAD/GIS and graphic applications. It is a flexible device, and optimally positioned for CAD and graphic applications. This makes colour output more affordable than ever, as the Ricoh MP CW2201SP can print, copy and scan in full colour or high-speed mono.

The printer features Ricoh PrintHead Piezo technology and advanced four colour CMYK GEL-Jet™ waterproof ink technology with zero drying time. Its auto nozzle detection feature boosts efficiency by preventing clogged nozzles, which benefits the cost effectiveness of our clients, and ensures a lower total cost of ownership during the lifetime of the machine.

The Ricoh MP CW2201SP is environmentally friendly, and is Energy Star compliant. It consumes less than 200W when printing and meets the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive).

Benoit Chatelard, Vice President, Production Printing, Ricoh Europe, says: “With the Ricoh MP CW2201SP we are helping print service providers to easily add wide format to their existing capabilities. Now they can increase their mono volumes or deliver a cost effective mix of both mono and colour jobs.
