NewsFlash RISO Marketing Update March 25, 2005 Reference #551 Welcome to RISO NewsFlash! Update on Double Sided, Matte Finish Paper for the HC5000 NewsFlash will be published periodically to provide you with the latest information about RISO Marketing initiatives. Manufactured specifically for the HC5000 In February, RISO introduced a RISO Branded Paper with a matte finish specially manufactured for use with the ComColor HC5000. The paper has a matte finish on both sides to accomodate duplex printing. RISO’s matte paper is designed to produce optimum quality output from the HC5000 at all printing resolutions for both single-sided and double-sided printing. The paper, packaged by the case, is available in letter (8.5” x 11”) and ledger (11” x 17”) sizes, orderable directly from RISO, Inc. The part numbers, descriptions, and prices are as follows: Part # Description SRP S-4770 IJ Double Sided Matte 8 1/2 x 11 $64.95 S-4771 IJ Double Sided Matte 11 x 17 $107.99 Pricing is in US dollars The letter-size case quantity has been changed from 2,500 sheets to 2,000 sheets (4 reams) per case. This change makes the cases lighter and easier to handle and keeps shipping and handling costs down. The cost per sheet continues to be competitive with other matte papers. The ledger-size case contains 3 reams of 500 sheets each totalling 1,500 sheets per case. In addition to RISO’s matte paper, we are continually researching and testing “off-the-shelf” paper for recommended use in the HC5000. Included in this newsflash is a list of paper tested to date, and we will continue to update and post this list. 1 Recommended Paper for the HC5000 Brand Paper Name Paper Finish Cougar Cougar Finch Finch Hammermill Hammermill Hammermill Hammermill Hammermill Hammermill Hammermill Hammermill Hammermill Monadnock Mohawk Mohawk Opaque Smooth Opaque Smooth Laser Opaque Bright White Bright White/VHF Ink Jet Paper Item Ultra Premium Inkjet Accent Opaque Smooth Accent Opaque Vellum Color Copy Color Copy Cover Color Copy Cover Accent Opaque Super Smooth Cover Color Copy Paper Astrolite Silk Satin 2.0 Cool White Satin 2.0 radiant white coming smooth smooth smooth smooth smooth smooth smooth vellum smooth smooth smooth smooth Silk Smooth Smooth Weight Color 60/24 lb white 65 lb white 24lb Bright White 70 lb white 24 lb white 24 lb white 24/60 white 24/60 white 28 lb White 60 lb White 80 lb White 65 lb white 32 lb photo white 28/70 Text White 28 lb cool white 28 lb Radiant white Note: Results may vary from Standard 1 to High Quality 1 Settings and for duplex printing.
