Powerful print heads

Groundbreaking quality, efficiency and versatility

With the RICOH Ri 4000 we have taken DTG/DTF printing to the next level. With higher image quality and end-to-end automation such as pre-treatment and maintenance, the Ri 4000 far surpasses its competitors.

Now prints on cotton, blended fabrics and 100% polyester with built-in enhancer (= pretreatment).

The first printhead carriage prints RICOH's pretreatment finishers. The second carriage applies the water-based white and CMYK garment inks.

The new inkjet enhancer prints directly onto the textile. Pre-treatment with the enhancer saves you the need for external pre-treatment and drying.

Automations that profitably simplify maintenance and operation

Save time adjusting garments. Sensors detect the thickness of each fabric and automatically adjust the table height so you get perfect prints every time.

Significantly reduce maintenance time through intelligent automatic cleaning, white ink agitation systems and continuous monitoring of ink supply and air level.

Set prices more accurately. Automatically calculate ink costs and ink usage to determine the amount of ink needed and the ink cost per garment.

Ready for immediate use with automatic maintenance

Thanks to automatic maintenance systems and advanced system monitoring, the RICOH Ri 4000 stays in an active state where it's ready to go - and is virtually guaranteed to deliver a perfect print whenever you're ready to use the machine. To make maintenance even easier, a built-in interactive operator guide provides intelligent alerts and notifications via the printer's industry-leading 7-inch color touchscreen display.

Automatic height adjustment and quick-change pallets

Thanks to the precise automatic height adjustment and the magnetic quick-change pallets, you spend less time setting up prints. The automatic height adjustment of the print table speeds up your workflow and helps you optimize your prints by precisely positioning the print table.

The quick-change pallets in sizes up to extra-large 40.6 x 49.8 cm (16 x 19.6 inches) can be easily mounted and removed from the device with virtually no downtime.

Proven quality and reliability
