Ricoh SP C831DN Printer Review

With a bit of a speed boost from the other model in its series, the Ricoh Aficio SP C831DN color laser printer offers the same great features with faster speeds of up to 55 pages per minute. It can handle heavy workloads, especially with optional upgrades added, and Ricoh SP C831DN printer toner is affordable to replace, provided users steer away from costly OEM supplies.

As part of the SP C831 series, the "DN" in its model name calls attention to its duplexing and networking features. Somewhat rare for a dedicated printer, the control panel features a large, 4.3-inch touchscreen display. This provides not only print settings and access to features, but an easy method to keep tabs on the level of paper and toners remaining.

The unit also features a USB port and SD card slot right on the control panel, so users can quickly and easily print documents and photos, even without a computer. Mobile printing from smartphones and tablets is also supported.

Not only is the SP C831DN built for fast, out-of-the-box performance, but it can be upgraded for more functionality in the future. Its paper capacity can be expanded from the initial 1,200 sheets to a maximum of 4,400 sheets, which should be enough for even the largest office environments.

Users can monitor their Eco-Friendly score right from the control panel, encouraging conservation of the Ricoh SP C831DN toner cartridges and paper. Each of the color Aficio SP C831DN toner cartridges can last for up to 27,000 pages, while the black supply can last for 23,500 pages. Using compatible Aficio SP C831DN toner can cut spending almost in half, and is highly recommended for lowering operating costs.

The SP C831DN may lack multifunction features like scanning and copying, but its 1200 dpi output and fast speeds make it one of the most impressive laser printers in its class. As long as users can manage the cost of Ricoh SP C831DN toner efficiently, it will be an appealing choice for high-volume office environments.
