Main Features

Features

1. High-Speed Production for Demanding Environments

The RICOH Pro 8420/8420S is engineered for high-volume, high-demand environments that require quick turnaround. With an impressive print speed of 136 ppm, it ensures that large jobs are completed quickly and efficiently. These systems can produce upwards of 1,000,000 A4 impressions per month, making them ideal for production print rooms and large office departments.

2. Exceptional Print Quality with VCSEL Imaging

Using Ricoh’s proven 40-beam VCSEL imaging technology, the Pro 8420/8420S produces high-precision monochrome output at 2400 × 4800 dpi. Enhanced toner formulation ensures finer particles for better text clarity and smoother gradients. Automatic paper position adjustment ensures accurate front-back registration, and the low fusing temperature helps reduce energy usage while maintaining image quality.

3. Advanced Media Compatibility

This series supports media up to 350 gsm and handles coated SRA3 stocks at high resolution. Applications like manuals, newsletters, books, and direct mail can be produced with ease. The built-in media library maintains consistent quality by automatically applying the correct settings for each media type.

4. Versatile Workflow Support

From office printing to heavy production and data-driven workflows, the Pro 8420/8420S adapts smoothly. It includes Ricoh’s GW controller for regular office jobs and supports the Fiery EB-36 print server for design-heavy or graphic-intensive environments. For precision-critical transactional printing, the system supports the IPDS option, delivering error-free, controlled output.

5. High-Speed Dual-Sided Scannin

Models with scanning capability include a 250-sheet single-pass document feeder that scans both sides in a single run at up to 280 ipm. Batch scanning makes it easy to combine large document sets, and small documents like business cards are captured accurately with built-in automation.

6. Comprehensive Finishing Solutions

The Pro 8420/8420S integrates with Ricoh’s full range of feed and finishing systems. You can create everything from simple folded documents to complex books and manuals—fully inline. Options include multifolding, stream punching, creasing, perforation, and twin high-capacity stackers that can handle more than 10,000 sheets without interruption.

7. Energy Efficient & Environmentally Responsible

The Ricoh Pro 8420/8420S reflects Ricoh’s sustainability goals with class-leading energy efficiency and eco-friendly construction. The system uses 25% recycled plastic, 33% recycled steel, and packaging plastic has been reduced by 50%, helping reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Performance That Works as Hard as You Do

The RICOH Pro 8420S combines high-speed output, stable image quality, and flexible finishing to support the demanding needs of production environments. It delivers dependable performance day after day, helping teams achieve more with less effort.
