TASKalfa Pro 15000c
The TASKalfa system is the result of a joint development between Kyocera and Ricoh, and the TASKalfa Pro 15000c is a deep fusion of the technical advantages of the two equipment manufacturers, this color SRA3 sheetfed inkjet printer can achieve high-speed single printing and process 150 A4 sheets per minute. The system integrates Ricoh's input and output media technology, equipped with high-capacity carton (LCT) and high-capacity stacking units, which can support up to 1 million sheets per month and can reliably handle various media substrates with a dosage of 360 g/m², with a paper input capacity of 4,000 sheets as standard, and the upper limit can be expanded to 14,310 sheets, fully adapting to various production printing needs.
In terms of equipment performance, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c is designed for high-intensity work scenarios with a monthly print run of up to one million sheets. It is not only ideal for printing and direct mail printing in industries such as the public sector, education, healthcare, and financial services, but is also regarded by Ricoh as a high-quality backup solution for high-volume printing plants, effectively coping with peak printing demands and ensuring production continuity.
Environmental protection and energy saving and easy installation are another highlight of this equipment. The TASKalfa Pro 15000c uses water-based pigment inks, which consume significantly less energy than comparable toner printers, reducing its carbon footprint by up to 70%. At the same time, the equipment installation does not require special infrastructure, only a standard power supply is required, and can be flexibly deployed in various printing environments.
In terms of value-added functions, the equipment can be equipped with an optional online binding machine, with a binding capacity of 4,000 sheets, which can realize a variety of post-press processing tasks such as folding letters, tri-fold brochures, and brochures. It can support folding and binding of up to 100 sheets and up to 20 pages of booklets. Double or triple hole punching is also available. At the same time, it can further improve production efficiency and color management capabilities by optionally installing a Fiery controller.

By combining Kyocera's high-performance, world-renowned inkjet technology with Ricoh's professional services and market reach, we create new opportunities for our customers in a variety of production environments. "
Sander Sondaal, Sales Director of Commercial Printing at Ricoh Europe Graphic Communication Group, also said that the launch of the device reflects the close cooperation between the two parties to jointly solve problems in actual production for customers, and will open up new paths for customers to improve production flexibility.
In order to ensure the customer experience, the maintenance of TASKalfa Pro 15000c will be fully responsible for Ricoh's professional after-sales service team in Europe, relying on Ricoh's mature service network in Europe to provide customers with timely and professional technical support and maintenance services.
Ricoh officially distributes the Kyocera TASKalfa Pro 15000c model, quickly completing the entry-level high-speed inkjet landscape with mature products. This cooperation is a win-win strategic layout for both parties, and also brings new development ideas to the printing industry. Through the cooperation model of "joint innovation", the two sides not only retain each other's brand value, but also give full play to the advantages of their own service system and enhance customer recognition. In the future, as the TASKalfa Pro 15000c continues to land in the European market, the cooperation between Ricoh and Kyocera is expected to be further deepened.
