A Breakthrough in Digital Printing

Released by Oceania Printing Technologies, Ricoh Priport Twin Colour TC-II contains two inline print cylinders and has no scanner or master processing unit. This makes it the world’s first single pass digital duplicating system with two-color features. This main feature makes TC-II an optional slave printer for offline use.
