This printer is the best overall quality machine I have experienced By Neoteric Expressions Our main concerns with purchasing a color laser printer for our graphic design business were the quality of prints and long term cost of ownership. This printer is well worth the price considering the quality of prints you get. We mainly use it for in house invitations and business stationery, so output of text and graphics in a high quality and efficient manner was important. This printer even on its lowest quality setting still prints crisp and clear with no dithering, and the speed of the printer is outstanding.On high quality printing, our per sheet cost averages about 16 to 20 cents per sheet, so we don't typically get the standard number of pages that the descriptions say you'd get per toner cartridge. Then again, we use 107# card stock quite often in our work with 30% or more coverage per sheet. Also, it does not feed these types of thick sheets automatically, they must be hand-fed one by one; BUT, I believe any printer would need to have them hand fed since that type of card stock is pretty heavy and tends to 'drag' across the other sheet, which in turns creates too much resistance for the printer to handle. This could delay any large order.The printer turns out about a sheet every 4 seconds when hand-fed, even faster when the machine feeds itself, but again we are graphic designers printing on heavy card stock most of the time. I have just gone through my first set of cartridges and I got about 5000 papers / envelopes / card stocks combined before replacement. Of course, I wish the toner was cheaper but it's about the average price for this style of printer.The only concern I have is that, with delays between orders and the stretch of time the printer sleeps (3-4 days), the color registration consistently needs to be calibrated in order to ensure a quality print each and every order. This also needs to be completed between every 50 to 100 prints when printing in high quality text, otherwise there is a red tint around the letters and darker graphics - this could be an issue with clients who want better than what they can get at home on their inkjet. No amount of fixes that I found on search engines solved this issue for me, so you have to be sure to calibrate the color registration regularly at the beginning of each order and throughout the order.I tested several printers at a local printer sales company before deciding on the Ricoh, mostly due to my prior experience with commercial grade Ricoh's, and because this printer had the quality that it says it has with the speed and reliability we need as graphic designers. I only wish we had gotten the wide format Ricoh - and we will once we grow the business some more. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Big with beautiful quality prints and low cost toner By B. Humphrey Purchased this printer for business presentations. The output quality and speed are impressive. So is the size. It looks like it belongs in a corporate office. Placed on a 30" table top, it's up to your arm pits. We haven't owned this printer for long but we love what we see so far.Printing cost is at least rated lower than just about any color laser (< 5cents color). Speed is up there with any other printer in this price range. I actually broke a small plastic piece in the paper tray. The warranty repair person was there the same day I called (the part didn't keep it from working).The printer has an automatic standby and sleep mode which reduce power use (Sleep is 6w, standby 100w). While it's printing, it'll dim your lights. We have a modern house and the lights really do dim during printing runs.Other than the part in the paper tray, the printer is well made. The only other negative I can mention is the stock toner tubes are 3000 pages which are pretty small. It may be typical to include lightly loaded cartridges but
