Several accessories are available to complement the RISO system, such as additional system controllers, a high-capacity sorter, a variable-information addressing unit, a sequential numbering system, and a device that slits, scores, perforates and numbers all in one pass.

The digital printing system blends the technologies of digital scanning, state-of-the-art electronics, and high-speed printing. It prints in 18 different spot colors at speeds of up to 120 copies per minute, for virtually the same cost as black-and-white duplication.
