This reduces print costs and produces a very soft hand even on dark garments when using white ink. The speed is made possible by using Ricohʼs stainless steel piezo print head technology. Ricohʼs figures quote the Ri 6000 can produce an A3 image on a T shirt in only 27 seconds. Automatic white ink circulation, closed cartridge ink system, on board touch screen job processing are just a few of the many features both models have as standard.
