RF105 – 10′ x 5′
Fluid Color RF105
10′ × 5′ industrial flatbed production powered by Ricoh Gen6 printheads with speeds up to 44 boards per hour.
The Fluid Color RF105 is a large-format industrial LED UV flatbed printer designed for high-volume direct-to-substrate production. With Ricoh Gen6 printhead technology, a 122.04 × 62.99-inch print area, water-cooled LED UV curing, and production speeds up to 44 boards per hour, the RF105 combines large-format capability, industrial performance, and rigid-media versatility in one production platform.
Bigger Flatbed. More Production Possibilities.
The RF105 gives print providers a large 10 × 5-foot-class flatbed platform for direct printing onto rigid substrates while maintaining the industrial features needed for demanding production environments.
With a 122.04 × 62.99-inch print area, Ricoh Gen6 industrial printheads, independently controlled vacuum zones, automatic media thickness measurement, and configurations supporting up to 12 printheads, the RF105 provides the width and flexibility required for large-format rigid-media production.
Up to 44 Boards Per Hour
The RF105 is built for production environments where board throughput matters. Express mode reaches up to 44 boards per hour.
Outdoor mode delivers production speeds up to 23 boards per hour, while Quality mode reaches up to 11 boards per hour.
10′ × 5′ Class Flatbed Capability
The RF105 combines a large 3.1 × 1.6-meter print area, industrial flatbed construction, powerful vacuum control, and water-cooled LED curing for direct printing across a wide range of rigid substrates.
122.04″ × 62.99″ Print Area
A 3.1 × 1.6-meter print area provides expanded capacity for oversized rigid sheets, panels, and specialty applications.
Up to 3.93″ Thick
Print directly onto rigid substrates up to 100 mm, or 3.93 inches, thick.
Pin Registration
A simple pin registration system helps operators position rigid media consistently on the flatbed.
Powered by Ricoh Gen6 Printheads
The RF105 uses industrial Ricoh Gen6 printhead technology with configurations from 2 to 12 printheads. Double-row and triple-row configurations allow the printer to be configured around production speed, ink configuration, and application requirements.
2–12 Ricoh Gen6 Printheads
Configure the RF105 with 2 to 12 industrial Ricoh Gen6 printheads.
Double & Triple Row Configurations
Flexible printhead architecture supports a range of production and ink configurations.
Up to 1200 × 2400 DPI
High addressability supports detailed graphics and professional production-quality output.
Built for Accurate Large-Format Flatbed Production
Reliable direct-to-substrate production requires precise media positioning, strong vacuum hold-down, and protection for the print system. The RF105 incorporates production-focused features designed to support consistent output across large rigid substrates.
Independently Controlled Vacuum Zones
Independently controlled vacuum zones maximize substrate hold-down power during printing.
Pin Registration System
Simple registration pins assist with repeatable positioning of rigid media on the print bed.
Automatic Thickness Measurement
Automatically measures media thickness to simplify setup across different rigid substrates.
Vacuum Pump Silencers
Silencers on the powerful vacuum pumps help reduce operating noise during production.
Printhead Crash Protection
Crash bars help protect the printheads from potential substrate strikes.
Static Suppression
Integrated static suppression helps support consistent print performance across challenging media.
More Than Standard CMYK
The RF105 uses VOC-free UV-curable inks with CMYK plus optional white and varnish, along with water-cooled LED curing technology for a broad range of direct-to-substrate applications.
Optional White Ink
Add white ink capability for specialty graphics, transparent materials, and colored substrates.
Optional Varnish
Optional varnish expands specialty printing possibilities for decorative and enhanced applications.
Water-Cooled LED Curing
Industrial water-cooled LED lamps provide efficient UV curing across production applications.
Built for Versatile Large-Format Flatbed Production
The RF105 combines expanded rigid-media capacity, Ricoh Gen6 printhead technology, and direct-to-substrate production for a broad range of commercial graphics applications.
Signage
Produce indoor and outdoor signage directly to large rigid sheets.
Display Graphics
Create retail displays, POP graphics, exhibit panels, and promotional graphics.
Oversized Panels
Take advantage of the 122.04 × 62.99-inch bed for large sheets and panels.
Specialty Printing
Optional white and varnish expand specialty direct-print applications.
Production Boards
Automatic print-cycle capability helps maximize throughput on repeated rigid-media jobs.
