Features: The Comprehensive Direct-to-Garment Solution
Compact, efficient size
The RICOH Ri 100 can fit into a space as small as 399 x 698 mm (w x d, installation), making it one of the smallest DTG printers. The printer and its finisher can be stacked to maximize functionality without sacrificing space.
High quality images & products
The printout picture quality is excellent thanks to Ricoh's inkjet technology. Garments stay comfortable, and all designs are colorfast since they are printed directly onto the fabric.
Easy-to-operate design software
Ricoh Design Software lets you import and edit images before printing, with no specialized knowledge or skills required. Even smartphone photos can be printed with ease.
Unbelievable low price
As a DTG printer, the RICOH Ri 100 is priced extremely reasonably. Those savings continue through the running costs. Since the RICOH Ri 100 does not require plates to operate, it is perfect for small lot printing.

Basic Tips and Troubleshooting
Basic Tips
- Preheat the finisher first. It takes longer than you think.
- The R on the platen is the Top of the item.
- Center by folding in half, then position the up/down by eye.
- The entire garment / piece of fabric must be contained inside the platen, so get it all inside. I’m told you can fit a yard of fabric under there.
- Printer drivers and software can be downloaded from Ricoh: Driver and Software Download
- iPad software is in the app store, look for Ricoh Design Software
- The power cord to the finisher is a monster. I’d unplug it when you’re not using it, just like an iron.
Troubleshooting
- If it says the platen is the wrong size, cancel the print job on the printer (hit the Stop button, then confirm with the # button) AND cancel it on the software. Just the software isn’t enough, and turning off the printer won’t clear it’s memory.
- If you’re doing something thicker (or have a seam that’s exposed) the printer may tell you to lower the tray. Hit the down button several times, then Start. Repeat until it prints. If you’ve hit the bottom and it won’t print, try re-hooping. When you’ve had to move it down, hit the Tray button when you’re done to reset the height.
- Always close the door to the finisher. It will cool down (and keep beeping at you) if you don’t.
- Don’t open the top door while the printer is running! It will shut down!
