A Convenient Photocopier

Riso energy efficient copying machinesWith global warming, the effects of climate change and environmentalism in the news every day people are constantly seeking new ways to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce the amount of energy they need in their everyday lives. Digital printing manufacturer RISO is leading the charge by offering a range of energy-efficient copying machines for the office so employers can do their share in going green.The RISO machines use just 3.5 amps of electricity when they’re on and when they are producing copies draw about the same amount of energy as four 100-watt light bulbs. Instead of using toner, the RISO Print-Duplicators also use a heatless plate-based ink-on-paper technology for making copies. By digitizing the ink around the paper-like material wrapped around the ink cylinder inside the machine and then rolling the master on paper, the ink gets pressed onto the paper by pressure instead of the high energy comsumption method of heating toner and then fusing it onto the copy. Further complimenting the environment, the Printer-Duplicators can use a number of different recycled papers and uses a soy-based ink.RISO has eight Printer-Duplicators in its lineup and they can compete on deliver speed with traditional toner machines. For example, the RZ990 model can print up to 180 pages per minute in black-and-white mode while the MZ790 can deliver up to 150 pages in one or two colors.
