Ricoh: A Legacy of Innovation

Ricoh, a global force in office equipment, has evolved from a photography and photosensitive paper brand to a printing industry pioneer, driven by digital innovation and multi-functional integration.

Early History & Groundwork (1955-1973)

Ricoh stepped into office equipment in 1955 with the Ricopy 101 diazo printer. Its 1965 electrostatic copier Ricopy BS-1 later earned "copier heritage" recognition. The 1973 Rifax 600S high-speed fax machine, which completed an international telex to the US via satellite, laid groundwork for print-communication integration.

Digital Transformation (1980s-1990s)

The 1980s-1990s marked its digital transformation. The 1987 IMAGIO 320, a multi-functional digital copier, started the era of integrated print devices. Ricoh broke the black-and-white monopoly with the 1990 ARTAGE 8000 color printer and promoted accessibility with the compact, affordable 1996 imagio MF200.

Global Expansion & Modern Era (2000s-Present)

Since the 2000s, Ricoh has expanded globally. It mass-produced PxP polymer toner in 2006 for better quality and efficiency, launched the Ri100 garment printer in 2018, and rolled out cloud-connected IMC series copiers in 2019. In China, Ricoh (China) was founded in 2003, with customized products solidifying its local presence.
