"Our processes and equipment are second to none, and we take pride in utilizing the latest innovations in the commercial printing industry."

As part of their commitment to innovation, Print & Letter is the first in the San Diego area to purchase a RICOH Pro C900, giving them more versatility, faster speeds and better print quality.

It utilizes Ricoh's new image processing technology for unsurpassed quality and fast turnaround times, and can handle a wide range of media, including weight ranges up to 110 lb. cover. Its modular design enables a number of input and output configurations, and offers many production tools for advanced page programming requirements like tabs, inserts, covers and chapter breaks.

"I'm impressed with the RICOH Pro C900's ease of use and its versatility," says Mashburn. "It combines fast speed and outstanding quality. In addition, its color is brilliant and consistent, print run after print run. We've been very pleased with our results."
