Ricoh AP2700 Printer Review

The base configuration of the Ricoh Aficio AP2700 laser printer is almost compact enough for a smaller office, but its purchase price will probably preclude it from this type of use, and adding extras makes it quite a bit larger. It can print at a maximum of 27 pages per minute, and even manages 22 pages per minute in duplex (two-sided) mode. Its best feature is the affordability of Ricoh AP2700 printer toner, however.

The AP2700 starts out with dimensions of 20.3x21.7x20.5 inches, with a weight of 88 pounds, including the Aficio AP2700 toner supplies. It comes equipped with two 500-sheet trays of input paper capacity, with an optional 100-sheet bypass tray. Users can add other trays for even more capacity, including a 2,000-sheet unit, so it can grow as work needs dictate.

Other upgrades are available for time-saving features like sorting, stapling, and finishing. Users can also add a hard drive for document storage, though it is limited to around 1.6 GB, so it won't hold a lot of pages. The built-in memory starts at 16 MB, but it can be expanded to 80 MB, which can improve response time when printing larger documents.

Low-cost replacement toners are a must for a budget-conscious office, and the low price and high yield of Ricoh AP2700 toner cartridges won't disappoint. Each Aficio AP2700 toner cartridge has a capacity of up to 11,000 pages. Users can also find remanufactured Ricoh AP2700 toner from third-party vendors at a significant discount from OEM versions.

It might not be the best fit for small offices, even with its relatively compact frame, but the Ricoh AP2700 has enough expandability to handle busy offices, as long as buyers can look past its moderate speeds. Its low running costs will start to save a lot of money over time.
