RISO Model 5500

Reasons why the RISO digital duplicator would be a good fit for Winnefox Graphics and Printing.

Speed: 120 pages per minute (including cover stock).

The production speed would alleviate back-log in print shop due to slower equipment.

Allow more time to market and solicit printing.

RISO has the ability to print envelopes as well as NCR paper.

In 2006, WLS printed over 27,000 envelopes and 8000 NCR forms.

Copiers can not run envelopes or NCR paper.

WLS would have to outsource both.

Large paper capacity

Less time spent loading paper trays

Optional folder attachment is not necessary. WLS has a high speed folder.

Our folder can not be used with pieces printed off a copier because of the heat-generated static.

Built-in folder would be a necessity with a copier.

RISO would replace both the color copier and the one-color duplicator.

Maintenance on the color copier we own is approx. $20,233.00 annually.

Supplies run $2845.00

Total: $23,078.00

Maintenance on the digital duplicator is $1050.00

Supplies run $1155.00

Total: $2205.00

Full network capability

RISO is rated to 6,000,000 copies.

Meter readings for both the copier and duplicator as of 1/22/07 shows 4,772,017 copies made since ownership of the equipment in 4/2001.

Both pieces of hardware are near the end of their useful life.
