Hybrid Design for Maximum Flexibility
The Ricoh EFI Pro 16h is a true hybrid printer, offering both flatbed and roll-to-roll capabilities. This allows operators to seamlessly transition between rigid and flexible substrates without the need for separate devices or complex changeovers. The vacuum table with pin registration ensures precise alignment for every job, while the media handling system supports substrates up to 2 inches thick.
- Handles rigid materials up to 65" wide
- Accepts flexible substrates including vinyl, mesh, and paper
- Vacuum table with pin registration for alignment accuracy
- Built-in media sensor detects skew and protects printheads
High-Speed Production with Impressive Quality
With print speeds up to 976 ft²/hr and support for variable droplet sizes as small as 7pL, the Pro 16h delivers both productivity and detail. Ricoh’s industrial Gen 5 printheads ensure consistent, sharp output with smooth gradients and fine lines—even on complex graphics or small text.
- 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution
- Four-color (CMYK) + two white ink channels standard
- Variable droplet sizes (7–21pL) for smooth gradations
- Maximum print width of 64"
White Ink & Multi-Layer Printing Capabilities
The Pro 16h comes standard with two white ink channels, making it ideal for specialty applications like backlit graphics, day/night signage, and printing on clear or colored materials. Advanced layering capabilities allow you to add dimensional effects or spot highlights, boosting visual impact and value.
- Opaque white underlays or overprints
- Supports up to five-layer printing in one pass
- Day/night and dual-view graphics
- Ideal for clear, metallic, or dark substrates
LED Curing for Efficiency & Substrate Range
EFI’s proprietary LED curing technology allows the Pro 16h to print on a wider variety of substrates by reducing heat stress and eliminating drying time. Not only does this open the door to more applications, but it also significantly reduces energy usage and extends the life of the curing lamps.
- Energy-efficient LED curing
- Instant on/off lamps reduce downtime
- Extended lamp life = lower operating costs
- Cures at lower temperatures for heat-sensitive media
Integrated EFI Workflow Software
Every Pro 16h comes standard with EFI Fiery ProServer Core software, offering powerful RIP and color management capabilities. The intuitive interface helps operators manage job queues, control ink usage, and ensure consistent color across substrates and applications.
- EFI Fiery ProServer Core included
- Built-in ICC color profiling and spot color matching
- Bi-directional communication with MIS/ERP systems
- Easy layout tools and step/repeat functionality
IDEAL FOR:
- Commercial print shops expanding into wide-format
- Sign and display providers seeking hybrid flexibility
- Production environments with variable substrate needs
- Shops requiring high-opacity white ink or specialty layering
- Energy-conscious operations looking to reduce costs
