Performance of the Ricoh CL7200 Printer in an office environment
The price tag is very motivating. Basically for $2,500 you can buy a decent printer for a mid size office. Even though the Aficio technology has been updated by Ricoh for the new MPC, and models like the MPC2500 seem to be finally opening a safe spot for Ricoh in the laser market, the CL7200 keeps high values in used machines and constant sales of supplies and toner.
The reasons for the persistence of this model in this highly competitive market are as diverse as its functions. The aspect that catches the attention of consumers is speed. Compared with models of the same price and technology, the Ricoh CL7200 delivers 29 pages per minute in color and 32 pages per minute in monochromatic printing. These numbers may not be impressive for experts but they are above average and in terms of paid time in an office or copy centers, that means less time waiting for a print out or more copies per work day.
On the negative side, the machine can occupy a great deal of office space. The duplex alternative, a standard feature in many competitors is optional on the Ricoh CL7200, but it can be found for $200 - $400 online. The cartridge page yield is very convenient. The Black cartridge offers around 12,000 pages at 5% coverage. The cyan, magenta, and yellow yield around 5,000 pages on the same conditions.
Overall, the Ricoh CL7200 is a solid and proven laser color copier. It is always a good idea to check the competing models from Konica Minolta before making a choice. Keep in mind as well that even though the laser technology has been around for many years, its prime time is about to happen and monochromatic printing would not be a respectful option anymore.
