Ricoh MP 3353 Printer Review

As the fastest in its model line, the Ricoh MP 3353 multifunction laser copier still isn't blazing fast, at only 33 pages per minute. It does offer sharp 600 dpi output quality, however, and fast warm-up times of just 14 seconds. With the added benefit of affordable Ricoh MP 3353 toner supplies, it is one of the most cost-effective models in its class.

With a first copy time of just 4.2 seconds, the MP 3353 responds quickly, even if its maximum speed lags behind some of the competition. It also has quite a selection of customization options so that buyers can tailor it to their specific needs. The standard paper capacity starts out at 1,150 sheets, for example, but it can be upgraded to a maximum of 3,150 sheets. Buyers can also choose optional faxing capabilities to compliment the printing, copying, and scanning functions.

The scanning function is particularly useful, especially when an office is making the transition to digital workflows instead of paper. Users can scan up to 100 pages at a time with the reversing automatic document feeder, which can also scan two-sided pages in one pass. Sending documents via email is a much more cost-effective option than faxing, with higher-quality results that save on paper and Ricoh MP 3353 toner at the same time.

Comparing models based on the cost of toners is one of the smartest decisions a buyer can make, and Ricoh MP 3353 toner cartridges come out ahead of those of competing models when it comes to price. Each Ricoh MP 3353 toner cartridge has an estimated yield of around 11,000 pages, keeping the cost per page down over time. Third-party vendors also offer compatible printer toner for even lower prices, without sacrificing quality.

If the MP 3353 doesn't impress buyers based on maximum output speed, it definitely will with its quick response times, advanced features, and its large automatic document feeder. It low supply costs and optional upgrades will also keep it a good value well into the future.
