Setting up for RISO Comcolor

Setting up for RISO Inkjets

Contents

Overview

comcolorPS

This topic describes how to update your RISO Comcolor press and change its status. Filling the gap between stencil duplicators and toner presses, Comcolor inkjets are capable of printing full color at very competitive prices. Their speed and versatility (two-sided printing, variable data for NCR numbering and mailings) make them especially well suited for in-plant shops.

While the suggested per page prices are based on prevailing Comcolor costs, we kept the structure of those prices generic.That means you'll be able to use the press in any consumables-based scenario, regardless of whether it's inkjet or laser driven. Simply adjust hourly rates, cartridge life and what you charge for ink, then prorate other consumables such as belts and wrap them into the price of the cartridge. Might be helpful to also change the name.
