Ricoh MP C3502 Printer Review

The Ricoh Aficio MP-C3502 is definitely a full-featured multifunction color laser printer, but its bulky frame won't fit into smaller spaces. It can print up to 35 pages per minute for quick operation, and it features a large touchscreen display that tilts for easier viewing. Its biggest downside is the high cost of Ricoh MP-C3502 printer toner supplies.

Compared to earlier models with limited control panel screens, the 8.5-inch screen on the MP-C3502 is a breath of fresh air. Its full-color display makes for easy control of each of the major functions, and customizable buttons can get users to the most important features quickly. An SD card slot and a USB port are available on one side for easier direct printing, and the screen provides excellent previews of images and documents.

For digital document workflows, the 50-sheet automatic document feeder makes it easy. Users can scan large stacks of documents quickly, with the option to save them to a network drive or store them with the document server feature. The scan-to-email feature is a great alternative to faxing that offers better quality, uses less paper, and reduces the usage of Aficio MP-C3502 toner.

Speaking of toners, replacing the four Ricoh MP-C3502 toner cartridges becomes expensive very quickly. Even with compatible Aficio MP-C3502 toner cartridges available, it is still one of the more costly machines in its class to operate.

There are so many standout features for the MP-C3502 that it is difficult to cover them all. Its speed and output quality are impressive, and its digital document workflows are top notch. Unfortunately, the cost of replacing Ricoh MP-C3502 toner will put it out of reach of smaller budgets.
