Our Services
Our technical assessment experts conduct exhaustive testing, including compatibility testing of our partners printing equipment. Knowledge in critical areas, including colour management, is continuously captured and fed back to our specialist teams in Japan and the USA, making a major contribution to Research & Development. This enables Ricoh to continue to raise the bar in Commercial and Industrial Print technologies, which benefits all our clients.
At our Customer Experience Centre (CEC) we demonstrate the possibilities of Ricoh technology and provide design and application guides that enable print service providers to take full advantage of the creative potential of their investments.
The CEC is where we also test the ever-expanding range of output media to ensure suitability for a variety of tasks. We are able to provide custom print samples upon request using customer supplied artwork and media.
