Ricoh MP 3053 Printer Review

The Ricoh MP 3053 combines laser printing, faxing, scanning, and copying into a single device, but still doesn't take up too large of a footprint in a small or medium-sized office. With speeds of up to 30 pages per minute, it's not the fastest in its class, but advanced features and excellent administrative tools make it a great choice for busy workgroups, and Ricoh MP 3053 printer toner won't be too hard on the budget.

The MP 3053 puts a big focus on scanning, with a 100-sheet automatic reversing document feeder that can handle unattended pages quickly. Users then have a choice of destinations such as email, network folders, or even a desktop hard drive location. With so many options for digital workflows, users can easily keep paper and Ricoh MP 3053 toner usage to a minimum.

The control panel features a 9-inch screen that is touchscreen enabled for intuitive use. Customization options allow users to save their most important workflows to easily access them later, often with one touch. Touch gestures such as swiping and flicking are also supported. The control panel and screen can both tilt for a better viewing angle, or to get it out of the way when not in use.

The design of the toners make them easy to insert and impossible to install incorrectly. Prices for Ricoh MP 3053 toner cartridges are also pleasantly low. With each Ricoh MP 3053 toner cartridge rated for a yield of around 11,000 pages, the cost per page will best much of the competition.

With four excellent functions on display, there are many great reasons to choose the MP 3053 over its competition. Its standout features are actually the large touchscreen display and the low-cost supplies, however, and the latter may help the device pay for itself in savings over time.
