Richardson and Son Printers boosts productivity by 25% with the RICOH PRO™ C7500
London, June 11, 2025 – Ricoh UK has announced a partnership with Richardson and Son Printers, who have taken delivery of a Ricoh Pro C7500 to increase their efficiency and productivity.
Established in 1946, Richardson and Son is a family-owned commercial print business specialising in a range of printing and finishing services to the public and trade customers.
Having first partnered with Ricoh in 2018, after investing in the Ricoh Pro C9100, Richardson and Son Printers have now transitioned to the Ricoh Pro C7500 with its enhanced technical capabilities in colour cutsheet devices and the new user interface, which saves load time when swapping operators. As a result, the company saw an immediate improvement in productivity by 25%.
Ernest Blackadder, Business Development Manager, RGC at Ricoh UK, commented: “We are proud to be a long-standing partner of Richardson and Son Printers and to support their drive for increased productivity and efficiency.”
Jamie Richardson, Director at Richardson and Son Printers, said: “At Richardson and Sons Printers, we take pride in quality, producing both spot colour litho work and full colour digital printing. By investing in the Ricoh Pro C7500, we were able to transition higher quantities of litho work to digital print. This enabled us to achieve a faster turnaround, improved support for shorter print runs and take on additional work. Ultimately, it boosted our production capacity and earning potential.”
This partnership reflects a shared commitment within the print industry to support growth, meet evolving demands and deliver high-quality printing service, all while prioritising efficiency and productivity.
