Thread: Can current model Ricohs compete with the print quality of Canon or Xerox?

I don't sell these machines, so I call it like I see it. I use them for a living, or at least try to. Anything that slows down my workflow is costly. The Ricoh RPCS driver software is insufficient for quickly changing paper sizes and weights, and for the booklet finisher. Now that I've finally sorted out other issues with the finisher and gotten it printing, I'm really enjoying emptying it after every 8 booklets -- at this rate I might as well go back to hand collation.

Do Ricoh machines still run dirtier?

Thanks for the info.

Please which[B] Color Laserjet among these (HP, Canon, Ricoh, Xerox etc series) can print smooth color and black/white 255grms weight A3 and above size paper especially for Cards?

That can be used for commercial volume printing at a reduce cost close to Impression printing cost

The Ricoh C900 has a Hitachi engine in it with various finishing options. If you are looking to make the jump into the digital color market maybe start with the IKON CPP560 or 660. If you already have the volume, 75 - 100k per month, then this machine is perfect fit. Its price point is close to half of the Canon 7000vp.

RICOH's C900 delivers exceptional color and reliable performance. I would recommend anyone interested in a color production system to take a look at this system. Everyone that I have helped with this new system is extremely happy with its performance and output.

Can the current Ricoh MP C2030 match the performance of the Canon 3200N or the Xerox C400?
The Ricoh is able the take 256gsm card stock but what about color consistancy? Any comments?
thanks

Using A3 Black and White Laserjet Printer for color seperation, which among the following printers (Ricoh, Canon, HP) can produce a clean digital quality film seperation if not on digital machine?

Or Can we also use a Color Laserjet Printer for the similar jobs?

What film can best fit to this?
