Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Industry Solutions
Q: Which industries does Altech Solutions serve?
We serve a broad range of industries including education (schools and universities), legal practices, retail (single and multi-store), manufacturing and production facilities, hospitality (hotels, lodges, restaurants), agriculture and agri-processing, small to medium enterprises (SMEs), corporate offices, healthcare facilities, financial services, and government institutions. Each industry page on this site provides specific detail on the solutions relevant to that sector.
Q: Are the solutions on each industry page standardised or customised?
Each industry page outlines the typical solutions and common challenges for that sector, but every engagement is customised to the specific client. Two schools, two law firms or two manufacturers may have very different technology needs depending on their size, location, budget, growth plans and existing infrastructure. Our assessment process ensures the solution we recommend is tailored to your unique situation — not a generic package.
Q: Can Altech help if my industry is not listed on this page?
Yes. While we have deep experience in the industries listed, our solutions are technology-based and many are applicable across sectors. If your industry is not listed, contact us directly. We will discuss your requirements and determine whether we can help. Many of our engagements fall outside predefined categories — we are transparent about our experience and will let you know if we are not the right fit.
Q: How does Altech approach a new industry engagement?
Every engagement begins with a discovery phase where we learn about your business, industry, challenges and objectives. We then map the technology solutions that address your specific needs, present a proposal with clear costs and expected outcomes, implement the solution with minimal disruption, and provide ongoing support. Our approach is the same regardless of industry — the difference is in how we tailor the technology to your sector's unique requirements.
Q: Can Altech serve multi-site businesses across different industries?
Yes. Many of our clients operate across multiple sectors or have diverse business units. We design technology solutions that work across different operational environments — for example, a group that runs both schools and hospitality properties, or a manufacturing company with corporate offices and retail outlets. Our turnkey approach is particularly valuable for these clients because one technology partner can manage all their diverse requirements.
Q: How do I get started with a solution for my industry?
Start by exploring the industry page that best matches your business. Each page provides detailed information on the specific solutions, challenges and outcomes relevant to that sector. If you are ready to take the next step, contact us to schedule a complimentary consultation or site visit. We will discuss your specific requirements and outline how we can help your business achieve better outcomes through technology.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About RISO Printing
Q: How does RISO compare to traditional laser printers in terms of cost?
RISO inkjet technology typically delivers a significantly lower cost per page compared to laser printers — especially for colour printing. While laser printers use toner based on complex imaging processes, RISO's high-speed inkjet systems apply ink directly to the page, reducing both consumable costs and energy consumption. For organisations printing thousands of pages per month, the savings can be substantial, often reducing printing budgets by 30–50% or more.
Q: Is RISO suitable for my organisation if we print mostly in black and white?
Absolutely. RISO's Digital Duplicator range is specifically designed for high-volume monochrome printing and offers one of the lowest costs per page available in the market. These systems are ideal for schools printing exam papers, worksheets and learning materials, as well as government departments producing forms, reports and documentation. The ComColor range also handles monochrome printing efficiently alongside colour work.
Q: Can RISO printers handle different paper types and sizes?
Yes. RISO systems support a wide range of paper types and sizes, including standard A4 and A3, as well as custom sizes depending on the model. They handle various paper weights, from lightweight to heavier stock. This flexibility makes them suitable for diverse applications — from standard office documents and worksheets to brochures, booklets, mailers, newsletters and examination papers.
Q: How fast are RISO printers compared to traditional office printers?
RISO printers are among the fastest available. The ComColor range can produce up to 130 pages per minute in full colour, while the Valezus T Series achieves even higher speeds for production environments. By comparison, a typical office laser printer operates at 20–40 pages per minute. This speed advantage means large print jobs that would take hours on conventional printers can be completed in minutes on a RISO system.
Q: Is RISO environmentally friendly compared to laser printing?
Yes. RISO inkjet technology consumes significantly less energy than traditional laser printers — up to 90% less in some models — because it does not require the high heat needed for fusing toner onto paper. RISO systems also produce less waste, as they use fewer consumable components and generate less packaging waste. For organisations with sustainability goals, RISO offers a greener alternative without compromising on speed or quality.
Q: How do I know if RISO is the right solution for my business?
Altech Solutions offers complimentary print assessments to evaluate your current printing environment, volumes, costs and requirements. We analyse your usage patterns, identify cost-saving opportunities and recommend the optimal configuration — whether that is a ComColor for general office printing, a Valezus for production environments, a Digital Duplicator for high-volume monochrome, or a combination. Contact us to schedule your assessment and see the potential savings for yourself.
Discover How Much You Can Save
If your organisation prints thousands of pages every month, there is a strong possibility that RISO technology can significantly reduce your printing costs while improving productivity. Let Altech Solutions perform a no-obligation print assessment and calculate your potential savings.
