Ricoh SP C430DN Printer Review

As part of the SP-C430 series, the Ricoh Aficio SP-C430DN adds duplexing and networking features for more flexibility. This fast color laser printer can reach speeds of up to 37 pages per minute, uses affordable Ricoh SP-C430DN printer toner supplies, and has a compact design that won't take up too much space.

The SP-C430DN starts out compact enough for a small office, but it can quickly be expanded for larger volumes and larger spaces. It measures 19.3x17.5x25.9 inches, though it does weigh a significant 126 pounds, including the drum and Aficio SP-C430DN toner supply.

The unit starts with a standard input paper supply that includes a 550-sheet main tray and a 100-sheet bypass tray. Adding extra trays can boost it up to a maximum of 2,300 sheets, and equips it for larger offices.

Print quality is very sharp; thanks to its true 1200 dpi print resolution. With PANTONE color matching support, users can ensure they get accurate colors each time, and high-capacity toners keep it inexpensive to use, even when color printing. Along with fast print speeds, the unit also warms up quickly, in around 50 seconds, and the first page out time is only 15 seconds, even in full-color mode.

Replacing all four Ricoh SP-C430DN toner cartridges will be expensive, but large capacities at least keep the cost per page low. Each Aficio SP-C430DN toner cartridge has a yield of up to 21,000 pages.

The SP-C430DN is an impressive printer that can fit in a small office just as well as in a high-volume medium-sized office, thanks to optional upgrades. The cost of Ricoh SP-C430DN toner supplies can start to add up, but its cost per page is fairly good compared to its competition.
