T
he result was that many of the digital printing systems manufacturers
entered into strategic agreements and alliances with finishing systems
manufacturers for post-print solutions, either inline or offline. One
company which opted to do things differently was Riso. It decided to
create a complete print and finishing solution all in one device. The ComColor+
9150 can be configured with a range of printing and finishing solutions to meet
the needs of a wide spectrum of users.
The ComColor+ 9150 is a 150 page per minute, full-colour printer capable of
handling a range of substrate sizes and weights. It can handle substrates up to
550 x 345mm and paper weights up to 400gsm without any reduction in print
speed. With the inclusion of the HS5000 scanner, double-sided printed originals
can be scanned and reprinted or stored and manipulated prior to printing.
When configured with book finishing features, the ComColor can handle
punching, stapling, folding and even perfect binding. These features make
it ideal for the production, or reproduction, of all different types of books. It
is ideally suited to the production of training manuals for universities,
colleges, schools, in-house print departments and company reproduction
departments. It incorporates built-in imposition software allowing books
to be correctly imposed according to the requirements of the book
being produced.

The advent of digital printing simultaneously brought a number of benefits and created a series of
problems. The benefits included the ability to print short runs, achieve fast turnaround times and
recreate previously printed items. The major disadvantage was the inability to professionally finish
the printed items, especially in the case of books, manuals and corporate information.
