Versatile and colorful printing for smaller budgets
Generate excitement and increase retention by adding spot color with the affordable EZ221 digital duplicator. With the EZ221’s low operating costs and high reliability, you can double or even triple printing output without increasing printing expenditures. Plus, you can print on a variety of paper stocks, such as newsprint, construction paper, postcards, and envelopes.
It’s easier and faster than ever to produce flyers, letterhead, calendars, posters, menus, envelopes, and more! The EZ221 prints up to 130 ppm, so your print jobs are completed quickly and you have more time to attend to additional tasks.
Environmental concerns are a key part of the design process for every RISO digital duplicator, and the EZ221 is no exception. Like all RISO digital duplicators, the EZ221 is ENERGY STAR compliant. Energy Saving Mode lowers running costs by automatically turning the printer off or placing it in sleep mode after user selected period without operation. Features like AutoPower Off and Auto Sleep modes and the ability to print on recycled stocks make the EZ221 an environmentally friendly printing choice.
RISO i Quality SystemTM: The RISO EZ221 is equipped with the RISO i Quality System. Two-way communication between RISO i Quality System equipped printers and their supplies is made via integrated RF (Radio Frequency) tags. These tags relay information to the printer, assuring optimum first print quality and superior output throughout the entire job.
Eliminating the need for key card counters, User Management allows you to setup 100 accounts and 32 groups, making it simple to budget by department or user group. User Management lets you set up new user groups, rename, disable, limit usage, and get usage reports, giving you control of your printing and budgeting needs.
Thoughtful design makes it simple to change colors and refresh supplies in the EZ221. The printer’s front section opens wide and the master making unit pulls out like a drawer, allowing easy placement of a fresh master roll.
