DANVERS, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
RISO, Inc., a leader in digital printing technology, announced today that it has
donated a fully configured "see-through" HC5500 high-speed inkjet printer along
with service and supplies to the Museum of Printing in Andover, MA. Specially
designed with clear "see-through" front, rear and top panels, the RISO HC5500
will serve as an educational display to the Museums`s over 3,000 yearly
visitors. In addition, the RISO HC5500 will be a working printer for staff to
produce all of the Museum`s external communications that require full color and
variable data.

"We are so grateful to RISO for the donation of a state-of-the art HC5500
high-speed inkjet printer," said Frank Romano, President of the Museum of
Printing and Professor Emeritus at Rochester Institute of Technology. "RISO`s
generous gift will serve as a unique interactive exhibit for our visitors and a
productive printer for our entire staff of volunteers."

Founded in 1979, the Museum of Printing is celebrating its 30th anniversary this
year and is dedicated to preserving the history of the graphic arts, printing
equipment and printing craftsmanship. In addition to its many collections and
exhibits, the Museum also contains hundreds of antique printing, typesetting and
bindery machines, as well as a library of books, ephemera and printing related
documents. The "see-through" HC5500 display will be unveiled during a 30th
anniversary event at the Museum on Friday, November 13th.

"RISO is very supportive of the Museum`s mission to preserve and teach today`s
printing practices and the industry`s history," said David Murphy, Vice
President of Marketing for RISO, Inc. "We also see the `see-through` HC5500
printer as an opportunity to showcase the future of printing, which will be
driven by full-color, high-speed and cost-efficient solutions."

the world`s fastest cut-sheet inkjet printers. The HC5500 can print at speeds of
up to 120 pages per minute (ppm) and has a robust paper handling system for
