The RISOLAR Power stand, an advanced printer that uses solar energy, has, for the first time in the history of Liberia, been launched by the RISO Corporation.
RISOLAR has high speed and high volume digital printers, copiers, and solar system.
The RISOLAR power stand was officially launched by a representative of Commerce Minister Miatta Beysolow, Steven T. Mar vie Jr.
RISOLAR is a registered trade mark of RISO Kagaku Corporation and was produced in Shiba, Minato-ku and Tokyo Japan.
The RISOLAR power stand is mainly intended for the education sector.

The machine also provides a solar panel that is placed under full sunlight for at least 6 hours per day as per the instruction.
In a brief interview with Mr. Jason Rose, export manager, he said the RISO KZ30 product is specially made for African countries because of the sunny weather but it has also been used in the United States.
He said the machines have been sold in Johannesburg, South Africa, as well as other African countries.

The paper supply capacity is 500 sheets (64mg) and the ink supply is fully automatic (approximately 100 sheets per roll). Some of the futures are Auto based control, Auto process, Auto sleep, Confidential; Paper feed pressure adjustment (4 steps), program printing, scanning contrast (Auto+5 steps), 2up, and RISO 1Quality system, he explained.
