Ricoh 220 Printer Review

The Ricoh Aficio 220 is a laser copier with a modular design, so buyers can add printing, scanning, and copying functions as needed. With speeds of only 20 pages per minute, it is not the fastest in its class, but Ricoh 220 printer toner can be extremely affordable, especially using third-party supplies, and its many upgrade options allow for a lot of customization.

Equipped for standard, walk-up copying, the base model isn't particularly exciting, but it gets the job done. It operates at a maximum resolution of up to 600 dpi, which is more than adequate for average office use, though not as sharp as some more modern devices. The starting input paper capacity includes two 500-sheet trays, but it can be expanded to an impressive 3,100 sheets as needed.

An optional reversing automatic document feeder is a must for offices that do a lot of faxing, scanning, or copying. This allows the machine to quickly and easily process stacks of paper documents. A flatbed scanner is also included for irregular media such as books or 3D objects. By adding printing capabilities and the networking option, the unit can act as a shared network printer, and options are easily controlled from each computer via the printer driver.

OEM toners are not too expensive, but third-party remanufactured Ricoh 220 toner cartridges offer the best value. The standard Aficio 220 toner cartridge can last for up to 11,000 pages, which is what makes its low price so impressive. This puts the cost per page for remanufactured Aficio 220 toner at about 1/10th of a penny.

With numerous upgrade options for expansion and solid output quality, the Aficio 220 is an impressive device, despite slow print and copy speeds. Ricoh 220 toner is some of the most affordable in its class, making it a great value for budget-friendly printing and copying.
