Ricoh MP C3001 Printer Review

The Ricoh Aficio MP C3001 offers the full gamut of multifunction features, from color laser printing and copying to faxing and scanning, and it is extremely customizable, so that buyers don't pay for features they don't need. With maximum speeds of up to 30 pages per minute, it is very fast, and digital scanning workflows can help save paper and Ricoh MP C3001 printer toner.

Its maximum speed isn't the only thing fast, with a first copy out speed of 7.8 seconds for color and 4.9 seconds in black-and-white, and it comes with both duplexing and an automatic reversing document feeder, which can help it work through a sizable stack of pages in short order, with a maximum scanning speed of 51 images per minute.

Its ethernet port will be the most popular connection option, but it also offers a USB 2.0 port. The starting input paper capacity is 1,200 sheets, but it can be upgraded to a maximum of 4,400 sheets, so it is poised to handle even high-volume work environments. In addition to its built-in document server, which makes saving and sharing easy, it also features mobile printing options for smartphones and tablets.

The cost of toners is possibly the most important factor in a laser printer purchase, and although the price of Ricoh MP C3001 toner cartridges may seem high, their high page yields make for a low cost per page. Each of the cyan, magenta, and yellow Aficio MP C3001 toner cartridges has a maximum yield of up to 16,000 pages, with the black Ricoh MP C3001 toner supply providing up to 22,500 pages. Needless to say, users won't be replacing their Aficio MP C3001 toner too often.

The Ricoh MP C3001 has the high-quality color output, fast speeds, and excellent network sharing features that a busy office needs. Its purchase price might seem a bit steep, but low operating costs can balance this out in the long run.
