You may have heard that Ricoh wide format printers can do a little bit of everything, but do you know just how true that is? Let's take a look at different types of wide format printing and how these machines help you take advantage of all the benefits.

Ricoh Wide Format Printers: An Industry Favorite

There's a reason Ricoh wide format printers are a favorite in every industry. They're not just fast, powerful, and cost-efficient--they also unite different printing options for incredible functionality.

Brush up on these common kinds of wide-format printing to find out what your Ricoh machine might be able to do:

Aqueous Inkjet Printing

This is perhaps the most common kind of wide format printing--and for good reason. As the name suggests, this process relies on water-based ink that can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects. It creates rich, detailed prints such as photography and artwork-and, better yet, the machines themselves are generally easy to use and even easier to maintain.

UV-Based Printing

When a wide format printer utilizes this method, it has an ultraviolet light that quickly cures and dries specialized ink--and it only takes seconds. Although there's no sacrifice of overall quality, UV printing is somewhat limited in scope because its ink doesn't dry flat, which means print jobs have a matte (not shiny) appearance.

Latex Printing

If you want outdoor printing, you couldn't do much better than this comparatively new approach. Although there are other ways to create outdoor products, such as solvent printing, water-based inks and fewer fumes make this a more favorable option in many cases. However, it does require higher temperatures, which means you'll need to double-check whether your Ricoh wide format printers offer this functionality.

Conclusion

When shopping for wide format printers, it's important to know what your options are, what you need, and what you can expect. Fortunately, Ricoh devices offer some of the best technology and functionality on the market.
