You can find a Ricoh AP 206 color laser printer for under $1000.00 making it an absolute steal. The printer produces color documents at 6 pages per minute which may be a bit slow for demanding workgroups but is perfect for the small business with high color demands. The color quality is impeccable. Rarely do you see distortion in the color; it usually happens with very complex or large file and even then it rivals the more expensive machines on the market, say some user reviews. Color can make a larger impression and convey your thoughts quicker than monochrome documents alone.
The toner cartridges will yield around 12,000 pages and reduces your cost per page to around 3 cents, much lower than competitive companies’ models. A low 250 sheet input capacity is a downside, but the performance makes up for this. With SmartNet technology, peer to peer, recovery and parallel printing are made possible. In the parallel printing option you can split a large document between up to 11 different Ricoh units on your network getting the job done quicker and with fewer hassles.
The printer can handle sharp color and text for any number of applications such as graphic design, marketing brochures, or long color enhanced reports for clients or the office. The printer, although rated as a desk top, is heavy at about 100 pounds. You will need an extremely sturdy desk or shelving unit to place it on. You can add optional automatic duplexing to save you on paper and storage of archived documents. |
