Main features of the RISO A2
1) Capability of printing on the A2 size paper
Functionality to
printing on the A2 size paper has so far been only possible with offset
printing machines and other similar devices. With this enlargement of
the largest size available, the printer will allow utilization over a
wide range of applications in the commercial printing area.
As it
is also possible to multi-up pages on the A2 size paper, the RISO A2
shows excellent results in terms of productivity of printing.
2) Achieving high productivity with the high-speed printing up to 100
sheets per minute.
The RISO A2 can print 1,000 sheets in only 10
minutes. With the speed available, users can deliver the orders on time
even when the work has to be done on a tight schedule.
3) Printing at a low running cost.
As the RISO A2 prints after
reproducing the data on a master sheet, when printing the same data, the
larger the number of the copies needed, the lower the printing unit
price. This feature enables users to print large quantities at a low
cost.
4) Ease of handling
The RISO A2 is easy to operate ensuring
high-quality printing even if there is no skilled operator. It is ready
for operation as soon as it is powered up, and the master-making takes
only 60 seconds. The printer can thus print immediately just when you
need it and can work for as long as you need it to.
5) Ample color variations
The RISO A2 comes with 21 color ink
cartridges and 50 more custom-made colors are additionally available. We
also take orders for corporate colors and other special types of ink.
As
the RISO A2 uses a cartridge-type drum, changing any of the colors is a
quick and easy task.
6) Environmental considerations
The RISO A2 consumes only a little
power and can also print on recycled paper.
Our ink is made of
soybean oil. Disposal of used masters is also quite easy.
