      Key features

Impeccable print quality and exceptional speed

From the subtle glow of flesh tones to bold, dramatic hues, the RICOH Ri 2000 prints in virtually unlimited colour and handles even the most complex colour gradations with ease. Capture fine photographic details and achieve crisp, high resolution prints up to 1200 x 1200 dpi.

It boasts a dual-carriage system that allows for single-pass printing. One carriage lays down the white ink underbase, while the other applies the CMYK colours immediately after, which dramatically increases print speed. A 10x8 inch graphic on a light garment can be printed in as little as 9 seconds.

The printer has an automatic table height adjustment and quick-change magnetic platens, allowing you to easily switch between different types of garments and substrates, including T-shirts, hoodies, and bags. It can print on both light and dark garments made from cotton and high-cotton blends.
