Industry Performance Comparison
The FB-2513R series offers a distinct industrial advantage by utilizing Ricoh Gen5/Gen6 printheads, which are renowned for their durability and ability to handle heavy-duty production cycles compared to standard Epson-based models. The Rs model (Gen6) outperforms the R model (Gen5) with faster production speeds (up to 17 sqm/h in draft mode vs 14 sqm/h). Both models feature a robust 2500 × 1300 mm print bed and support up to 8 printheads for massive scalability. Unique to this series are the built-in media alignment pins, which drastically improve workflow efficiency and positioning accuracy for rigid substrates.
