RICOH Ink Savvy
By reducing ink consumption, you can improve profitability, lower costs to be more price competitive and finish jobs quicker. A Ricoh color management expert gathers data, taking into account environmental conditions, media, print speeds and output resolution. Our engineers create a customized ICC profile that optimizes ink utilization for a specific media and printer. You pay a low one-time fee per profile instead of installing and maintaining software.

Some customers may perceive color mismatches under lighting conditions that vary from the industry-standard D50 lighting. Ink Savvy minimizes the likelihood of this happening by improving neutral gray balance, shadow details and color gamut matching.
