About Us
Message
Ricoh Digital Painting has been launched in October 2018 by welcoming LAC Corporation, a domestic venture company that has been in operation since 1983, to the Ricoh Group. Unlike conventional inkjet technology, the "GELART JET" enables conventional analogue processes to be digitised by using a wide range of viscous fluids to be dispersed over a long distance with high precision.
By providing products using this technology, our aim is to dramatically reduce the burden on workers and environmental impact, and help solving social issues.
We would like to continue to contribute to the realisation of a safe, secure and comfortable society by refining our unique technology and would be grateful for your support in this endeavour.

Company Profile
LAC Corporation was founded in 1983 and is based in Tokyo, Japan. Since then, we have been proactively doing the business activities not only in Japan but also in the global markets such as Europe, the US, Asian countries, Middle East and so on.
We started with developing electronic and data processing equipment, and our focus was shifted to developing digital printer which is targeted at niche market. We have been successful to develop a variety of very unique digital printers which are based on our advanced technology. For instance, our Vehicle Art Robo enables you to print the body of truck, bus and airplane directly in full color with incredibly cheaper cost than that of other technologies like wrapping film.
We were awarded as a global niche top 100 company of Japan by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan on March 14th, 2014 because we pursue the development of unique products and promote the sales not only to Japanese market but also overseas markets.
