Chicago, IL, September 14, 2015 - Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced enhancements to RICOH TotalFlow Prep, RICOH TotalFlow Path, and RICOH TotalFlow Print Manager and Production Manager, aimed to help customers increase workflow efficiency, decrease turnaround times and avoid errors. These enhancements make leveraging the software’s considerable power easier than ever before, with added features and, in the case of RICOH TotalFlow Prep, an all-new, intuitive interface.
With short-run, on-demand jobs on the rise, printers are taking on more jobs of smaller sizes, making it more difficult than ever before to keep efficiently processing their workload. Repetitive and/or focus-intensive prepress tasks, such as tab management and imposition, can become a major hurdle for printers working hard to keep up. That’s why RICOH TotalFlow Prep, RICOH TotalFlow Path, and RICOH TotalFlow Print Manager and Production Manager help take certain tasks out of overburdened printers’ hands, automating them to help improve overall quality of work – and speeding things along, so more work can be taken on.
These enhancements further Ricoh’s work to leverage its expertise – in the production print, software engineering, and workflow automation spaces – to help customers increase efficiency and quality throughout their operations.

Meanwhile, RICOH TotalFlow Path brings a renewed capability, in conjunction with other members of the suite, to provide a simple, smooth connection from Web-to-Print and MIS systems to production workflows.
“I cannot overstate how helpful workflow automation is in production print environments,” said John Fulena, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh Americas Corporation. “The ability to reduce a printer’s workload with intelligent, reliable task automation is key to not only increasing speed and efficiency, but it’s also a major step in helping to ensure work is done right. Manual touch points are a liability busy shops cannot afford. That’s why this software suite was first designed, and it’s exciting to see how we’ve enhanced it to help our customers flourish in the industry they serve.”
