What Business Owners Want to Know

“Can it handle polyester?”

Yes! Thanks to RICOH’s advanced enhancer and pigment ink system, you can print vibrant, durable designs on 100% polyester without color compromise.

“Is the pretreatment really automatic?”

It is. The Ri 4000 has built-in enhancer delivery, so there's no need for separate pretreatment machines, no spray booths, and less operator error.

“How much time will I save?”

A typical 10” x 8” full-color print (with pretreatment) takes just 92 seconds. Combined with auto platen height adjustment, intelligent cleaning, and white ink circulation, you’ll spend more time producing, not prepping.

“Is this scalable?”

Absolutely. With interchangeable platens, DTG/DTF flexibility, and optimized workflow automation, the Ri 4000 grows with your business, not against it.
