Offset Quality with Digital Agility. How XPS transformed print with Ricoh
An Overview
Operating from their Sydney facility, Xclusive Print Solutions deliver everything from offset and digital print to bold, large-scale signage, earning a reputation for speed, reliability, and precision.
Backed by more than five decades of combined industry experience, the XPS team transforms ideas into print that makes an impact—from sharp, professional flyers and sleek brochures to dynamic booklets and bold signage. At the heart of their work is a clear promise: consistent excellence with every job.
The Challenges
When demand spiked and deadlines tightened, XPS began considering alternative options. Their RICOH Pro C7200S had been a dependable workhorse, but as volumes grew and expectations rose, the team needed more power, more reliability, and above all, output that could rival offset.
Previously it was not possible to take a print job from the offset and run it on a digital machine. The noticeable drop in quality was simply not acceptable.
The Solution
After carefully weighing their options, Xclusive Printing Solutions chose to strengthen their partnership with Ricoh by introducing the RICOH Pro C9500 colour press into their workflow. The results were immediate. The team quickly began reaping major benefits, with output so precise and vibrant it was virtually indistinguishable from offset printing.
Our clients were very impressed with the quality of the outputs we were able to deliver. Often the jobs were indistinguishable from offset outputs.
The Benefits
XPS now enjoys greater flexibility, speed, and efficiency, with digital and offset working hand-in-hand. With the addition of the RICOH Pro C9500, the XPS team unlocked a new level of freedom in managing print runs. Instead of relying solely on offset for exceptional quality, they can now switch jobs seamlessly to digital—turning around smaller runs faster than ever and giving their business an extra competitive edge.
Delivering consistently high-quality output with virtually no downtime, the colour press has left the team impressed. With the reduced need for support calls, due to the press’ design enabling easy self-maintenance, most fixes can be done in-house. For XPS, that means smoother operations, fewer interruptions, and customers who get exactly what they need, right when they need it.
