Ricoh's deeper leverage is component-level. It is a major maker of industrial inkjet PRINTHEADS sold as OEM 'engines' that go inside OTHER companies' commercial, textile, ceramic, label and packaging printers (40+ years of piezoelectric inkjet, 200+ patents), and a leading maker of THERMAL PAPER — the heat-sensitive substrate behind cash-register receipts and barcode/shipping labels worldwide. So beyond its own copiers, Ricoh supplies both the printing guts and the receipt-paper material that countless other brands' products run on — a hidden components-and-materials business behind an office-equipment face.
