Print heavyweight Ricoh has moved to bolster its wide-format business by appointing Josero as an approved specialist

Under the arrangement, Josero will sell and support Ricoh’s full range of wide-format print products—with a particular emphasis on the L4100 series latex printer, MFPs and CAD printers.

As part of the deal, a new demonstration room that will facilitate a number of Ricoh’s products is currently under construction at Josero’s Cambridge head office.

Ricoh machinery such as the L4160 latex printer will feature at this new facility.

“Their [Josero’s] professional approach to customer service and engagement with customers can only be described as inspiring,” comments Ryan McMaster, Ricoh’s business development manager, wide-format indirect channel.

Loic Delor, managing director of Josero, adds: “We’re so excited to be working with Ricoh. They’re renowned for their technology solutions, and are a huge name in the print industry. 

“They are part of the very small group of printer manufacturers that actually own the printhead technology used in their machine.
