Robot printer: the automated printing plant of tomorrow
The printing robot, dubbed "the world's smallest printing press", will be one of the main attractions at C!Print 2025. Developed in collaboration with R&D Technology, this innovation embodies the future of unit printing, taking care of the complete automation of the process, from printing to folding to bookbinding, all with professional quality.
This solution enables a book to be produced in just 5 minutes, considerably reducing production times. Currently being tested by Paris-based publisher Lys Bleu, the printing robot combines RISO inkjet printing technology, which ensures reliable printing of the book's corpus, with an automated finishing system. Its compact format makes it a space-saving solution that can easily be integrated into a bookshop or small space.
The robot is designed to be easy to use, without the need for advanced technical skills. A bookseller or employee can quickly learn to operate the machine, making the technology accessible to a wide range of professionals.
In environmental terms, the printing robot is fully in line with RISO's eco-responsible strategy. By enabling on-demand unit production, it eliminates the need for large quantities of storage and considerably reduces logistical transport. It also reduces unsold stock and returns. This approach contributes to a significant reduction in carbon footprint.
RISO's cold printing technology guarantees energy savings of up to 91% compared with traditional laser systems. What's more, it emits no ozone, preserving air quality in the working environment.
The printing robot embodies the future of on-demand printing. With the ability to produce personalized books in real time, directly on site, it opens up new prospects for industry professionals, enabling them to meet growing expectations for personalization, responsiveness and environmental responsibility.
