London, June 25, 2024 – Ricoh's participation in drupa 2024 has exceeded all expectations, solidifying its position as a leader in the print and imaging industry.
With more than 100 orders secured across its inkjet, toner, software, and industrial printhead technologies, Ricoh demonstrated its innovative prowess and commitment to advancing the industry.
Ricoh's booth at drupa 2024 attracted significant interest, particularly in its groundbreaking inkjet systems.
Unprecedented Interest and Significant Deals
Visitors were eager to witness the capabilities of the RICOH Pro™ VC80000 high-speed web-fed press, known as the Harpy Eagle, and the RICOH Pro™ Z75 B2 sheetfed aqueous inkjet press, dubbed the Dragon. These systems showcased how Ricoh's technology can elevate print production to new heights.
Cimpress, a leader in print mass customization, invested in the Pro VC80000 to enhance application expertise and streamline production.
Sattler Media Group GmbH in Germany confirmed its commitment to inkjet technology co-innovation with Ricoh, following successful beta testing of the Pro VC80000.
SAMIR Group, a Saudi Arabian dealer, ordered a Pro Z75 for Efad Group/Fekrah Press.
Ricoh's web-fed inkjet platforms also received recognition for their innovative production capabilities, earning the number one market share position for high-speed continuous feed inkjet systems globally for 2023, according to the IDC Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker.
Toner-Based Presses Garner Excitement
While Ricoh anticipated interest in its inkjet systems, the response to its toner-based presses—the Jaguars—was equally impressive. The RICOH Pro™ C9500, RICOH Pro™ C7500, and RICOH Pro™ C5300 attracted large crowds and resulted in hundreds of units ordered by a diverse range of buyers from EMEA and around the world.

Koji Miyao, President of Ricoh Graphic Communications & Senior Corporate Officer of Ricoh, remarked on the success:
"Ricoh’s participation was extremely successful. It was very exciting and rewarding to see so many orders signed for our groundbreaking inkjet, toner-based, software, and industrial printhead technologies.
