UK Office Direct Adds Ricoh GelSprinter™ Series to Range of Printers

Swindon, UK, 7th March 2007 – UK Office Direct Ltd today announced the introduction of the Ricoh GelSprinter™ series of printers to existing home and office printer range. The Aficio™GX 3000, GX 3050N and GX 5050N GelSprinter™ models, along with consumables are available immediately for purchase from UK Office Directs’ website(http://www.ukofficedirect.co.uk) or by telephone ordering on 01793 763555.

Overview of Liquid Gel Technology
The new GelSprinter™ printer series from Ricoh has created a revolutionary approach to lowering the cost of colour printing. By utilising Liquid Gel™ rather than existing toner or ink cartridges, Ricoh’s gel printers produces affordable waterproof and sunlight resistant prints. The liquid gel dries instantly when hitting the paper, resulting in high speed printing even in duplex mode and sizable cost reduction in colour printing cost making the cost per page similar to black and white printing.

Michael Griffin, for UK Office Direct says, “These new Ricoh gel printers make high quality colour printing cost efficient and are an ideal alternative to colour laser printing, but at a fraction of the running cost.”


Overview of Ricoh Gel Printer Range
The Ricoh GelSprinter™ printer series offer user friendliness - No maintenance kit is needed as with laser printers and its print heads are self-cleaning.
