Ricoh says the new Ri 3000 and Ri 6000 are suitable for promotional printing on various garments, such as t-shirts and hoodies
The Ricoh Ri 3000 and Ri 6000 are both capable of printing on a wide range of materials, with the manufacturer billing the machines as “ideal” for promotional printing on items such as t-shirts, cloth bags, hoodies, sweatshirts and socks.
Both systems also incorporate Ricoh piezo-electric printhead technology, which the company says will help to deliver “high levels of durability and longevity”.
Tim Carter, commercial print sales director, Ricoh UK, adds: “Our new Ricoh Ri 3000/Ri 6000 DTG printers offer customers the ability to simplify and shorten their production process compared to traditional analogue screen printing or other methods.
“The Ricoh Ri 3000 and Ri 6000 models offer the benefit of digitally printing low volume, personalised short run jobs, as well as production volume longer run jobs. We are able to achieve outstanding image quality on both light and dark garments without any limitation on half tones, detailed designs or photographs.”

Other features on the new models include an automatic ink circulation system for white channels, while a 7” touch-enabled operation panel will help users with overall management of the machines.
Carter adds: “These systems deliver colourfast, machine washable prints that last and can stretch without cracking. The new eco-friendly Ricoh Garment inks give designs a soft touch and vibrant colours.”
Ricoh plans to make the Ri 3000 and Ri 6000 available to the European market during the third quarter of this year.
