I
t was confirmed last month that TheMagicTouch, Resolute DTG and Ricoh have joined forces to bring to the UK market three new direct to garment printers.
The Ricoh Ri 3000, Ri 6000 and Ri 100 models offer a comprehensive range that caters for both affordable entry level through to industrial production level capability.
Launched in May last year, the Ri 3000 and Ri 6000 can print on T shirts in as little as 27 seconds. The Ri 100 was launched at the beginning of 2018 and puts a DTG printer on your desktop with its small footprint. Jim Nicol, MD of TheMagicTouch, said: “The partnership with Resolute is the perfect platform for both companies to develop the ever increasing
personalisation market. The collective strength of sales and marketing combined with expert technical knowledge and experience ensures the ultimate in customer support and user satisfaction. “For the past 12 years we have considered and evaluated many of the different DTG printer options available but confirm the Ricoh range is the only product that ticks all the boxes and we were prepared to commit to.” Colin Marsh, MD of Resolute DTG, added: “Bringing Ricoh to the UK is an exciting opportunity. Partnering with Ricoh and TheMagicTouch can only raise the bar for DTG across the UK and Europe.” Resolute will display all three models in its showroom in Chesterfield, while TheMagicTouch will only show the Ri 100 at its premises in Dunstable.
