    1. When the design goes beyond the limits of CMYK

    In the creative design world, color is more than decorationit’s an emotional language, a visual identity, and a key differentiator for brands and products.

    CMYK may be the standard for commercial printing, but it often limits designers, especially in industries that demand visual impactbeauty, fashion, premium food & beverage. Vivid tones like bright pinks, vibrant purples, or luminous reds are notoriously hard to reproduce accurately with CMYK alone, often leading to dull results that don’t do justice to the original design.

    To solve this creative bottleneck, Ricoh introduced the Ricoh Pro C7500 production printer, a special color printer featuring a 5th color: Neon Pink. When blended with CMYK, Neon Pink opens a new realm of color possibilitiesespecially within warm tones like red, purple, and orangepushing your creative range beyond conventional four-color printing.

    Neon Pink: A Printing Solution for Agencies Seeking Bold Color Impact

    Neon Pink isn’t just an eye-catching spot color. It acts as a color enhancer when layered with CMYK, expanding your visual vocabulary.

    2. Versatile media support – Print on more than just standard stock with Ricoh Pro C7500 production printer

    One of the major advantages of the Ricoh Pro C7500 is its ability to print stably on a wide variety of specialized mediawhich is very important for creative environments, where ideas often go beyond the limits of plain paper.

    Supported substrates include:

    • Textured papersincluding grain, rough, metallic, and heavy-weight stocks
    • Decal paper (label stock)ideal for stickers, seals, and product labels
    • Synthetic mediatear-resistant, water-resistant, and durable
    • Metallic paper, translucent vellum, pre-printed or recycled papers
    • Standard coated/uncoated paper and letterhead stock

    With this flexibility, creative teams can test designs directly on the actual material without outsourcing or switching machines. Just load the media, adjust color as needed, and printright at your desk.

    3. Brand color accuracy – From digital file to finished print 

    For brand-driven work, color accuracy is everything. Misprints or inconsistent output can break the visual identity that brands have spent years building.

    With Neon Pink blended into the CMYK workflow, the Ricoh Pro C7500 delivers expanded color capabilityallowing agencies to stay true to warm brand palettes and creative intent. Designers can run real-time tests, fine-tune colors, and deliver mockups that match final production more closely.

    • Accurate mockups printed on the final production stock
    • Full visibility before mass printing
    • Elimination of color inconsistencies or surprises from external vendors

    4. Print on demand – Optimize your agency's creative process

    Not every campaign needs to be printed in bulk. In fact, for creative agencies, it is very common to need to print 1-10 mockups or concept tests. Sending these small runs to an outside printer can be time-consuming and cost - prohibitive.

    With the Ricoh Pro C7500 - a printing solution for agencies, they can:

    • Print on-demand for client presentations
    • Experiment freely with layout and materials
    • Personalize each printideal for artisan or limited-edition work

    This makes it an ideal solution for branding studios, packaging designers, and creative teams producing unique, one-off, or short-run visuals.
