CMYK inks are all still G1 (this is the latest Generation of CMYK inks by Ricoh), there is no change or upgrade to those inks. The WHITE inks we offer now are G2 (this is the latest Generation of White inks by Ricoh).
While you can continue to use Ricoh G1 white inks, the Ricoh G2 white inks offer some benefits over the G1 white inks, as follows:
Advantages of the New White Ink Type G2:
- Better Nozzle Jetting Performance: Ensures smooth ink flow for consistent high-quality prints.
- Longer Shelf Life: Extends from 10 months to 24 months, maximizing your return on investment.
- Improved Optimal Humidity: The ideal humidity range is now 35-80%, ensuring smooth ink flow.
- Reduced Waste: Minimizes wasted ink caused by clogging, leading to greater cost savings.
- Exceptional Print Quality: Delivers rich, vivid colors and sharp details.
- Enhanced Durability: Offers outstanding wash fastness and long-lasting prints.
All the color inks listed on this page are RICOH G1 inks, and the White inks are RICOH G2 inks.
Upgrading to the G2 WHITE INKS requires attention to the following instructions:
When switching to the new Ricoh Type G2 ink, you must switch out both white cartridges at once. You CANNOT have different white ink (Type G1 and G2) cartridges in the same machine. Print results will not be good and it may lead to nozzle loss. Switching out to G2 ink requires adherence to the following:
- Option 1 -It is recommended that you fully flush out the old type G1 white ink prior to loading the new type G2 white ink. ? This will allow you to enjoy all the benefits of the new white ink right away. This means you will need Cleaning cartridges to flush the machine (cleaning carts can be purchased here). The cleaning carts will need to be at least 50% full in order to complete the flush, OR
- Option 2 - You can also skip the flushing process and just put in the new Type G2 white ink cartridges. This will require at least 5 strong cleans on all 2 white heads to be performed after inserting the new cartridges. This will not harm the machine, but you may notice nozzle loss and will have to flush the lines at that point anyway.
