FORCEJET Inkjet Technology

  • The straight-path paper feeding system delivers paper horizontally to enable high-speed printing with precise alignment. FORCEJET technology ensures an optimal paper feed that matches the amount of ink emitted from the ink heads.

  • High‑Speed Paper Feeding Technology

    RISO’s inkjet printers are capable of high-speed, full-color printing using inkjet technology primarily designed for various applications. The print heads are arranged in parallel for single-pass printing on A3 short-edge paper. The ComColor GL Series prints at 165 ppm for A4 simplex printing. Also, the VALEZUS T2200 prints at 330 ppm for A4 duplex printing.

  • In-line Inkjet Print Heads

    RISO uses a line-type inkjet system suitable for high-speed full-color printing. Developing an in-line head, it can print an entire line on the short side of A3-wide paper at once, deploying 4 or 5 colors in parallel, depending on the model. By synchronizing the feed belt speed and ink drop from the print heads, these printers precisely control a massive number of nozzles.

  • High‑Precision Printing Technology

    RISO inkjet printers deliver high-precision printing by using proprietary oil-based inks designed for ultra-high speeds. Sensors monitor paper feed and adjust timing for synchronized ink drop. Furthermore, controls to minimize paper stress and shorter paper feed intervals enhances image stability, enabling high-speed and precise full-color printing.

Features of Unique Oil‑based Ink

Stable Output Quality

While most of the inkjet printers use water-based inks, RISO printers employ oil-based inks suitable for high-speed full-color printing. Oil-based inks minimize paper ripping and curling compared to water-based inks, enabling smooth paper feeding and post-processing (collation, book-binding, etc.).

      RISO oil-based ink ensures that paper does not deform after printing, maintaining the integrity of the printed output.
    • General water-based ink

      When printed with general water-based inks, paper may curl as the ink dries, which can affect overall print quality.
  • Prevention of Ink Penetration

    Stable output quality

    RISO’s unique oil-based ink is designed to prevent ink from penetrating to the back side of the paper, enabling high-speed duplex printing while maintaining superior output quality.

  • Water and Light Resistance

    Water and light?resistant

    RISO’s oil-based ink effectively prevents bleeding when writing on printed documents with water-based pens. It also offers excellent light resistance to minimize fading, making it ideal for documents requiring long-term storage.

  • Efficient, Productive Printing

    Efficient, productive printing

    With RISO’s oil-based ink, there is no ink head cap, and the frequency of head cleaning is low. This makes high-volume printing with RISO inkjet printers efficient, ultimately saving time.

  • In‑line post processing

    RISO's oil-based ink minimizes paper ripping or curling after printing, ensuring smooth post-processing tasks, such as inserting into the envelopes and book-binding.

Heatless Imaging Process

  • Cold‑printing system

    Cold?printing system

    RISO's innovative cold-printing system operates without the need for heating elements, eliminating the risks associated with drying inks and toner. This heatless imaging technology enhances print quality while significantly reducing energy consumption, making it an efficient solution for high-volume printing environments.

  • No toner and Small footprint

    No toner and Small footprint

    Unlike traditional toner-based machines, RISO's inkjet printers do not produce toner dust during the printing process, contributing to a cleaner working environment. Additionally, their compact design not only reduces the overall equipment footprint but also minimizes initial investment costs, making RISO inkjet printers an economical choice for businesses looking to optimize their printing operations.
