WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The Production Printing Business Group (PPBG) of Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced that its RICOH Pro C900 was awarded a Five Star Rating from BERTL. Several hundred copiers, printers, fax, multi-functional, color and production devices are evaluated and tested by BERTL each year. BERTL's prestigious Five Star Rating is reserved for a select number of devices that deliver outstanding business-critical features and provide its target user base with innovative and intuitive functionality.

The RICOH Pro C900 earned top marks from BERTL for its ability to offer high productivity speeds of up to 90 pages per minute in both monochrome and full color while also equipping users with flexible in-line finishing options. Across the board, the product received high marks for print and copy productivity as the Pro C900 provides several key benefits to customers including high image resolution for optimum image quality, extensive paper supply which can be replenished on the fly for long uninterrupted production runs, and short warm cycles compared to other production systems that allow customers to be ecologically minded but ready for production in just minutes.

The Pro C900 delivers on this combination through user-friendly controls with an EFI Fiery print controller for high-quality images and flexible media options. Additionally, the RICOH Pro C900 has advanced in-line finishing options that provide enhanced flexibility and efficiency for the end user including a 3,000-Sheet Finisher with a 100-Sheet Stapler, a GBC StreamPunch(TM) Finisher that rapidly produces punched documents in a variety of styles, a Plockmatic Booklet Maker that delivers professionally finished booklets with one-side and square folding options and a Ring Bind Finisher that automates the entire bonding process.
