Product Overview

An economical, reliable solution to production printing When you need a large number of prints fast, there’s nothing that can match the speed, reliability and cost-effectiveness of a digital duplicator. And the Ricoh HQ9000 Priport is the best in class: a productive, durable, easy-to-operate system that can output prints at a fraction of a penny each. All at a quality that is amazingly close to high-end copying and with spot color.

Printing doesn’t get much faster

With speeds as high as 135 prints per minute for 8-1/2" x 11" sheets and a remarkable 120 prints per
minute for 11" x 17", the Ricoh HQ9000 Priport sets new standards for productivity. And if you add the optional
automatic document feeder, productivity is boosted even further.

The cost-effective solution

Managing costs is a major goal at any organization. The Ricoh HQ9000 Digital Duplicator is the low-cost solution to your high-volume printing needs:
• It uses less ink.
• Because there’s no heating element, power consumption is a fraction (as little as 4%) of the cost of a high-speed copier.
• Power consumption is also held down through a series of cost-saving technologies, including auto shut-off mode that switches power off during pauses, energy-saver mode that cuts power 85% during printing lulls, and economy mode.

Keeps going and going and...

The Ricoh HQ9000 Priport captures the advantages of offset printing—few moving parts—without the huge investment:
• Extended duty cycle (up to 600,000 pages monthly and 15 million lifetime) approaches offset press durability.
• It's highly reliable architecture ensures maximum intervals between maintenance calls.
• Double-feed sensor automatically alerts operator if multiple sheets are pulled into the machine, minimizing misfeeds and missing pages.

Copier simplicity

The Ricoh HQ9000 Priport has the same basic operating panel as a copier, which everyone in your organization is already familiar with:
• Large, interactive touch screen greatly simplifies system operation— even for walkup users.
• Intuitive prompts, graphics and LED indicators keep operators informed about system status.

High quality output

The Ricoh HQ9000 Priport, with its “High Quality Imaging System,” will change your perception about the quality of digital duplicator output. The quality is so good, in fact, that even halftones compare favorably to those produced by a copier.
• Roller marks and stains are dramatically reduced and set-off is eliminated through the superior, fast-dry “HQ ink” chemistry.
• Edges on body copy and headlines are razor sharp and clean because of a new master imaging technique that percolates ink ultra-evenly onto every page.
• Registration for two-color jobs is consistently dead on because of Ricoh’s exclusive dual cylinder technology and highly accurate paper clamping system.
• True 600 x 600 dpi image quality is attained by harnessing virtually the same image processing technology as Ricoh copiers.

Media flexibility, security and more

Finally, the Ricoh HQ9000 Priport is much more than print productivity and economy. Its advanced performance extends through remarkable media flexibility, security features and connectivity options.
• The Ricoh HQ9000 Priport can easily handle everything from 4" x 6" postcards to 11" x 17" newsletter stock—as well as envelopes, vellum and NCR— in weights from 12.5 Bond to 110 lb. index.
• Web Image Monitor, SmartDeviceMonitor and DeskTop Binder utilities help make everyday systems management easy and fast right from your desktop.
