Riso says that the RZ990’s ultra high-speed printing capability, which translates to 10,800 pages per hour, makes the machine 50 per cent faster than any other traditional 600 dpi, 11″ x 17″ digital duplicator on the market.
In addition to its ultra high-speed printing capabilities, traditional 600 dpi scanning and printing, and high density supplies, the RZ990 offers high print quality, made possible through a new graphic interface and enhanced paper handling features. The benefit of the new paper handling mechanism is images with high-quality solids, even at the maximum print speed. The RZ990 also offers running costs 1/3 of a cent per page.
The RZ990 is also engineered with a newly designed soundproof system, making it quiet in spite of its speed, and enabling it to fit easily into any environment.
The RZ990 comes equipped with a series of standard features including:
• Built-in RISO Editor that allows an operator to scan an original and make color separations and changes directly from the touch screen
• Built-in GDI controller that now comes with a USB 2.0 interface
• Protect mode that protects classified documents in a similar manner to Confidential mode, and takes security a step further by locking the master disposal box where confidentiality is required.
Optional accessories include an automatic document feeder (simplex or duplex), job separator, letter size, and color print cylinders, and a special paper feed kit for feeding extra heavy stocks.
Like other all printer-duplicators within the RZ series, the RZ990 incorporates the RISO i Quality System that allows two-way communication between the printer-duplicator and its supplies via integrated RF (Radio Frequency) tags embedded in the ink bottle and master roll. The i Quality System offers automatic assurance of optimum print quality and prevention of operator error for supplies. RISO i Quality also warns the user of shortages in remaining ink and masters, and helps minimize paper waste.
The RZ series includes four other models: the RZ220 (300 x 300 dpi, 130 ppm, up to legal size); RZ310 (600e x 600 dpi, 130 ppm, up to letter size); and RZ390 and RZ590 (600e x 600 dpi, 130 ppm, up to ledger size).
The company also plans to introduce the RISO PS7R-5000 option, an Adobe PostScript Level 3 system controller, by mid-February.
