Inkjet production printers for transactional printing

Becoming and staying competitive in the print production business is essential to success — but matching your output requirements to the right inkjet printer isn’t always easy.

For mid-volume transactional print, challenges often include bottlenecks during peak cycles that trigger overtime or outsourcing, high click costs on aging toner devices, downtime from platforms built for volumes far beyond your needs, and fragmented workflows across composition and finishing.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

The Kyocera TASKalfa Pro 15000c offers a simple, cost-effective solution. This right-sized device for mid-volume printing starts fast, handles mixed media reliably and integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, all while lowering total cost per page.

What mid-volume really means

Mid-volume output typically spans tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand impressions per month. Peaks around billing cycles, statements and direct mail demand dependable throughput, consistent image quality and tight SLA performance. Add in variable data accuracy and clean barcodes for mail automation, and the stakes are high.

Why the Kyocera TASKalfa Pro 15000c fits mid-volume needs

The TASKalfa Pro 15000c digital press delivers high-quality, cost-effective output for transactional printing, backed by Ricoh’s industry-leading service and support, as the leading partner with this machine.

This press handles batch and on-demand jobs quickly without a need to step up to a continuous-feed platform. It combines rapid first-page-out with sustained speeds for daily statement runs and peak periods, helping teams consolidate devices and eliminate bottlenecks.

Key advantages:

• Production-grade inkjet sized for mid-volume workloads of 100,000 to 1,000,000 pages per month

• Crisp 600 x 600 dpi output on uncoated transactional papers

• Water-based inks for sharp text and barcodes

• Accurate color for transpromo and brand-critical messaging

Operators get an intuitive interface, presets for common forms and reliable handling of envelopes and inserts. Integration with data streams, authentication and print management tools keeps output predictable, data secured, and training minimal.

Cost, uptime and ROI that make sense

The TASKalfa Pro 15000c offers a right-sized cost profile compared to legacy toner or oversized inkjet presses. Competitive cost per page for monochrome-heavy and mixed-color work eliminates the waste of running high-capacity equipment far below rated volumes. And, with its revolutionary quick-dry, water-based inks, sheets come out dry and cold, so they’re immediately ready for finishing or post-production (no additional drying or cooldown is required), saving time and money.

Savings stack up through:

• Reduced maintenance, support and downtime

• Predictable ink usage, fast drying and long-life parts

• Streamlined preventive maintenance for maximum uptime

• Minimized energy efficiency with a low environmental impact

The result? A compelling ROI driven by reliable throughput, innovative components, predictable costs and better compliance.

Right-sizing with Ricoh and Kyocera for success

For lower or mid-volume environments, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c provides a cost-effective cut-sheet alternative without sacrificing quality or uptime. Its inkjet printheads deliver reliability with auto-cleaning capabilities and low total cost of ownership, while Ricoh maximizes uptime with proven service, fast response and workflow expertise. Together, we ensure every print job — large or small — achieves document integrity, operational efficiency and predictable costs.

Workflow integration that works

Mid-volume success depends on more than engine speed. The TASKalfa Pro 15000c streamlines secured workflows with:

• Compatibility with common data streams and composition tools

• Enterprise authentication and audit trails

• Preset libraries for faster setup

• Reliable media handling for transactional substrates

These features maintain chain-of-custody controls, reduce exceptions and keep output consistent across shifts, vital during peak workloads.

A mid-volume sweet spot

If you’re weighing a move from legacy toner or considering a high-end press, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c offers a balanced alternative without breaking the bank. It delivers the speed and quality required for transactional print, integrates cleanly with established workflows and aligns cost with mid-volume demand.
