Ricoh USA, Inc. has announced a strategic partnership with LogoJET, expanding RICOH’s graphic communications portfolio with purpose-built, small-format direct-to-object (DTO) UV printing solutions. Ricoh will offer LogoJET DTO printers as part of its broader portfolio of production hardware, software, workflow, and services—helping customers unlock new revenue opportunities through on-demand product customisation. Direct-to-object printing enables print service providers (PSPs) to move beyond traditional two-dimensional substrates and into higher-value applications, such as promotional products, branded items, signage components, and functional parts incorporated into multifaceted campaigns. By bringing DTO production in-house, PSPs can reduce reliance on outsourcing, improve speed to market, and create differentiated offerings that support both internal demand and print-for-pay services.
RICOH’s approach focuses on integrating production print environments from job intake and workflow automation through production and finishing. As LogoJET’s first distribution partner in North America, Ricoh expands access to specialised DTO technology while supporting customers through consulting, workflow design, software integration, and services aligned with their broader print operations. LogoJET’s DTO printers are designed specifically for printing on dimensional and specialty items, supporting a wide range of substrates and applications. Through this partnership, Ricoh customers can incorporate DTO into mixed production environments alongside sheetfed, inkjet, wide-format, and finishing solutions—leveraging a single, trusted partner to help evaluate, deploy, and integrate technologies across their operation.
