Ricoh has officially launched a strategic partnership with Brother International Corporation (BIC), a move designed to strengthen Ricoh’s offering in the fast-growing A4 printer market and deliver even greater value to customers like you.
Why This Matters for You
This isn’t just another product expansion—it’s a powerful alliance between two highly respected technology providers, allowing Ricoh to offer a unified A3 and A4 solution under one roof.
Barlop has been a partner with brother for over 15 years and ricoh for over 40 and now offers more flexibility and smarter options than ever before.
The Brother Workhorse Series – Now Available Through Ricoh
At the heart of this collaboration is Brother’s Workhorse Series—a powerful lineup of A4 color and black-and-white MFPs and printers designed specifically for business users.
With 19 core models (including 10 multifunction devices and 9 single-function printers), this portfolio delivers:
- Exceptional reliability and performance
- Advanced security certifications
- Robust accessory options
- Very competitive cost-per-copy (CPC)
- Standard 3-Year Exchange Warranty
- Optional on-site service for added convenience
Seamless Software Integration & Smart Device Management
One of the most compelling aspects of this partnership is the software integration in development. Ricoh’s Coldstream and Streamline NX platforms will soon support Brother device monitoring and management—empowering IT administrators to track and optimize print environments across both A3 and A4 devices from a single pane of glass. This kind of software synergy ensures that your print infrastructure remains efficient, secure, and easy to manage, giving you more time to focus on what matters most growing your business.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your print environment or reduce print costs with more efficient A4 devices, Barlop is here to help you navigate this exciting new lineup!
