Ricoh Releases "The Business Guide to Print Technologies" - A Data-Driven Analysis of Print's Role in the Modern Workplace
New whitepaper presents independent research on print performance, sustainability, and security, helping businesses optimise their workplace technology TOKYO, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Asia Pacific today announced the release of The Business Guide to Print Technologies, a comprehensive whitepaper based on independent, real-world testing of laser and inkjet print technologies. Developed in collaboration with DataMaster Labs, a leading independent print technology research firm specialising in laboratory-based performance evaluation, the study provides evidence-backed insights into how print impacts productivity, operational costs, and sustainability. As organisations continue to digitise workflows and embrace hybrid work models, print remains a critical component of information management, security, and operational efficiency. This whitepaper helps businesses make informed decisions about the technologies that best support their evolving needs. "With hybrid work and digital transformation accelerating, businesses need print solutions that integrate seamlessly with their workflows rather than disrupt them," said Steven Burger, Vice President APAC Technology Centre at Ricoh Asia Pacific. "This whitepaper cuts through marketing claims to provide businesses with the objective data they need to optimise their print strategies." Key Findings from the Whitepaper: Laser vs. Inkjet: The Performance Gap – In high-demand environments, laser printers maintained 97% of their rated speed, while inkjet speeds dropped by up to 141% when handling complex print jobs. Print Quality and Business Impact – Independent testing rated laser print output 91/100, compared to 76/100 for inkjet, particularly for sharp text reproduction and colour consistency. Sustainability and Cost Efficiency – A Ricoh laser printer in standby mode consumes just 0.32W—one-third the energy of comparable inkjet models. Additionally, toner-based prints are easier to recycle, reducing environmental impact. Security and Integration – Laser print technology integrates more effectively with enterprise security frameworks and digital workflows, minimising bottlenecks and data security risks in high-volume environments. The findings in The Business Guide to Print Technologies whitepaper reinforce Ricoh's vision of print as a key enabler of workplace transformation. These themes will also be explored at SPARK, Ricoh's new annual leadership event in Thailand, where industry experts will examine how hybrid workplace solutions, workflow automation, cloud and IT, cybersecurity, and managed print intersect to create smarter, more secure, and more efficient business environments—shaping the future of work. "Organisations that recognise print as a crucial part of their information ecosystem—rather than just a standalone function—are better positioned for efficiency, security, and long-term success," added Steven Burger. "By enabling the seamless transfer of data between physical and digital workflows, Ricoh is helping businesses create smarter, more connected workplaces where information flows effortlessly and securely."
