Ricoh SP C312DN Printer Review

Just because buyers may not have heard of Ricoh printers, doesn't mean they aren't some of the best out there. The Ricoh Aficio SP C312DN, for instance, is a wonderful machine for small or midsized offices needing color laser printing at fast speeds with low operating costs and high quality.

Weighing a heavy 62 pounds, it could be tough for one person to move around. It does, however, take up very little space in offices with its dimensions of only 15.2x15.8x18.9 inches. For those looking for a compact workhorse, the SP C312DN will be hard to beat. Its Ricoh SP C312DN toner is also inexpensive and easy to find and replace.

This color machine only uses four Aficio toner cartridges, and these are full of black, cyan, magenta and yellow printer toner. The standard Ricoh SP C312DN toner can last 2,500 pages before running out, and the cost per page using the printer toner is very affordable and inexpensive. For even better cost savings, check out the high capacity replacement Ricoh SP C312DN toner cartridges that last 6,500 pages before expiring. Remanufactured toners are another great way to save money.

Resolutions as high as 2400x600 dpi are standard, and the machine is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems. It also comes standard with a fast ethernet port and USB port for connection. When using the black or color Aficio SP C312DN toner, up to 26 pages per minute can be printed.

The laser machine has Energy Star compliance and is environmentally friendly. It comes with 3 supported input trays that altogether will have the ability to hold up to 1100 sheets of paper. Plain paper is among the types supported, and sizes up to legal are also supported. A standard memory of 128 MB is also included, which should be plenty for most small offices.
