Japan-based Ricoh Co. on Thursday conducted layoffs at its Boulder InfoPrint Solutions facility, a company official confirmed.It is unclear how many people were affected. InfoPrint spokesman Peter Lazaroff said the company is "doing some reductions (Thursday)," but declined to disclose a number.

Earlier this year, Ricoh officials announced plans to realign the firm's production print resources operations, form a new entity called Ricoh Production Print Solutions and move the InfoPrint Solutions headquarters to West Caldwell, N.J., from Boulder. Ricoh anticipated the workforce reduction would affect 9 percent of its 109,000-person global employee base.

At the end of July, InfoPrint employed 700 people in Boulder, company officials told the Camera at the time. In 2010, InfoPrint had 725 employees locally.Lazaroff on Thursday declined to provide a current headcount of the Boulder operations.
