| Printout appearance | Due to very thin toner - Emulsion Aggregation (EA) - layer jobs printed on Ricoh Pro C9210 are in quality similar to this provided by offset technology. The high resolution allows for getting the unique sharpness and homogeneities of the image. | Innovative technological solutions applied in Ricoh help to maintain smooth tonal gradations, render proper colours within colour profiles and ensure print consistency. A laser print-like lustre of printed areas is also noticeable.
If non-laminated printed pieces with dark solids are trimmed, the toner may chip off at the edges. |
| Colours(solid - any area of the sheet receiving 100% ink coverage), (screen tint - area of image printed with dots so ink coverage is less than 100% and simulates shading or a lighter color) | Ricoh Pro C9210 projects very well solid areas both in single colour and with tone gradation.
In most cases no visual bands occur within tone gradation.
| On large solids and screen tints some slight visual bands or canvas pattern can occur. To avoid such effects it is recommended to replace such areas with texture fills. |
| Colour Repeatability | Within the single sheets some differences in colour hue and saturation can occur. | Jobs smaller than half of the sheet are placed, due to economic reasons, on the same sheet only in different places. It can result in very slight colour differences among them. |
| Text Quality | Quality of black text is perfect for types not smaller than 4 punkty.
Colour text and text contrasting with the background have to be printed with a minimum of 6 pt. for perfect quality. | |
| Line Quality | Ricoh system can print continuous lines not thinner than 0,01 pt. It can keep also relative width differences between lines 0,05 pt. and 0,10 pt. thick. | Maintaining at least 75% of colour components and setting at least one component (except yellow) close to 100% improves line quality. |
| Colour Registering | Colour registration is automatic. Ricoh specification allows for misregistration on the level of 85 micrometres. Usually it comes up tp 50 micrometres. | |
| Front- & Backside Registering | Misregistration can come up to 1mm between face- and backside of the page. | Register precision depends on the chosen material, system parameters and other factors. |
| Precision & Repeatability of Job Positioning on the Sheet | Laser printing technology does not provide exactly the same job positioning on the consecutive sheets. It has to be taken into account that as small jobs are printed multiple times on the same sheet their size can differ very slightly due to microslips between printed material and transfer rollers. Positioning precision comes to +/- 1mm. | For that reason set texts and any important information (graphics, photos) at least 3mm from the cutting line and AVOID ANY FRAMES closer than 10 mm to the document's edge. |
| UV & Water Resistance | Print is waterproof and resistant to UV radiation. | Please remember that UV & water resistance depends also on the material quality. |
| Temperature Resistance | Long-lasting exposure to high temperature leads to page sticking. | Refers only to colour books and booklets. |
| Finishing | Print on coated papers can be laminated, UV coated. | |
| Spot Colour | Ricoh Pro C9210 is equipped with a Clear Toner dry ink module that enhances the possibilities of full-colour prints finishing. | The application and benefits of CLEAR TONER:
• Applies digital watermarks
• Enhances artistic effects
• Adds elements of protection against reproducing/counterfeiting (the elements cannot be replicated on conventional copy machines) |
| Usage Limitations | Printouts from Ricoh cannot be overprinted on laser printers (e.g. as letterhead) beacause warming up of toner in a printer results in damaging of printouts and dirtying printer's cylinder. | Instead of this printouts (best when made from offset and satin papers) can be overprinted on inkjet printers. |
