West Chester, Ohio, USA; April 2022—As part of a recent campaign to demonstrate how neon colors available on the Ricoh Pro 72xx series presses can be used, Ricoh conducted a marketing campaign to showcase the neon colors available with their presses.

Discussing the campaign, Mark Geeves, Director of Sales and Marketing for Color-Logic, the worldwide distributor of Touch7 software, said: "Ricoh Europe reached out to Touch7 to create an envelope design that would make their sample envelope stand out from other marketing pieces these businesses receive.
