RICOH TotalFlow® Digital Front End

Overview

An offset and digital hybrid workflow with third-party vendor integration from job creation to deliver.

RICOH TotalFlow Digital Front End

Managing separate offset and digital workflows can be cumbersome, time-consuming and prone to errors. Designed specifically for commercial print environments with a prepress workflow system, and employs a combination of offset presses and RICOH color digital printing systems, the TotalFlow Digital Front End creates a hybrid workflow, which allows these mixed environments to transition from an offset to digital conversion model. TotalFlow Digital Front End also expands print flexibility in transactional output environments that rely on Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) and Intelligent Printer Data Stream™ (IPDS™) for efficient, accurate printing.
