How does DTG Printer RICOH Ri2000 change your Printing Business?

When evaluating new DTG equipment, it’s crucial to look beyond basic speed claims and analyze the underlying technology that delivers consistent results. The RICOH Ri 2000 incorporates two distinct engineering advancements that set a new benchmark for in-house textile production.

First, the printhead configuration. Unlike single-carriage systems, the Ri 2000 features a dual-carriage setup, equipping it with eight total printheads. By dedicating one carriage to white ink and the second to CMYK, the printer achieves a true one-pass laydown. This reduces print times for dark garments significantly and enhances registration accuracy by eliminating the physical movement between passes.

Second, the media handling is streamlined by the automatic height adjustment system. For operators, maintaining optimal head gap is critical; too close, and you risk head strikes, too far, and you lose detail. The Ri 2000 automates this calibration. By simply pressing “HEIGHT ADJUST,” the system measures and sets the precise distance between the printhead and the garment’s surface. This automation not only protects your investment but ensures consistent, high-quality output across diverse product lines.
