Dantex & Ricoh USA Partner to Accelerate Digital Label Growth

Dantex Group has signed a strategic agreement with Ricoh USA, Inc., under which Ricoh will offer the entire Dantex Pico lineup as part of its production print portfolio across the United States and Canada.

This partnership significantly expands Dantex’s reach in this important label printing market while enabling Ricoh to broaden its offering with scalable label printing solutions that help customers differentiate and grow their business.

Ricoh will work consultatively with customers to assess application demand, outsourced work, workflow, finishing, automation, capacity, and return on investment. 

This will help businesses to understand where a Dantex label printing solution fits within their existing production environment, as well as identify suitable work to bring in-house and develop new applications and revenue streams.

The portfolio includes the revived PicoColour 254, a modern evolution of Dantex’s entry-level press, providing a scalable route into digital and hybrid production. Available with Dantex’s compact integrated finishing system or the advanced GM DC350 finishing unit, it can be transformed from a roll-to-roll press into a complete roll-to-hybrid platform with integrated inline finishing. 

It sits alongside the flagship PicoJet 1200 DRS, whose Dynamic Resolution System uses patented technology to extend tonal range, reproduce fine detail, and deliver smooth gradients without sacrificing production speed.

Dantex CEO, Ben Danon, said: “This partnership represents a significant milestone in Dantex’s growth strategy and a major endorsement of the Pico platform. Ricoh’s scale, market presence and infrastructure will bring our technology to a much wider audience across North America… Together, we are exceptionally well positioned to help customers capitalise on these opportunities and accelerate the adoption of digital label printing throughout the region.”

Andrew Vecci, Director, Product & Portfolio Management, Ricoh North America, added: “Combining Dantex’s specialist label expertise with Ricoh’s consultative approach characterized by our technology and solutions portfolio, integration capabilities, workflow experience, and support resources, together we can help customers determine how digital label production fits within their overall operation and provide a scalable, productive and commercially focused solution that enables them to expand applications, enhance output and drive profitable and sustainable growth.”
