Overview:

Ricoh is the first MFP to utilize the GelSprinter technology, combining the quality and performance of laser printing with the convenience of an inkjet and the vivid color customers have come to expect from GelSprinter products. Designed to meet the end user's document management needs, the MFP incorporates color copying, printing and scanning into a compact system. At 29 pages-per-minute (ppm) for both color and black & white, users can print and copy jobs quickly. As with all GelSprinter products, images are crisp and bold using pigment-based inks that are waterproof and sun-resistant, making it ideal for real estate marketing materials, student handouts, construction plans as well as a variety of business documents. An ideal fit for small-to-medium offices, organizations benefit from the low total cost of ownership with features such as the Level Color Mode, which reduces ink density up to 35 percent for graphics and images without affecting the text's readability. This mode makes color cost-per-page the same or less than black & white. To add further value, the GX3000SF delivers superior quality on normal copy paper. In addition, the viscous-ink cartridges used in this MFP offer higher yields than other dye-based ink cartridges to reduce cost-per-page, and the printhead never needs to be replaced. The GX3000SF makes managing and distributing documents quick and easy with user-friendly features such as the optional 100-Sheet Multi-Bypass Tray, which handles a wide range of paper stocks and sizes. In addition, errors are quickly and efficiently resolved via Ricoh's @Remote monitoring function. The Remote system proactively sends e-mail notices to administrators when supplies are running low to minimize wait time.

All three models deliver 1200 x 1200 dpi, 2-bit resolution, up to an equivalent of 3600 x 1200 dpi.

– Expect crisper images on every page with 2 picoliter viscous-ink droplets that minimize spreading and eliminate bleed-through.

– Highlight color pages without smearing. Pigment-based inks are waterproof and sun-resistant, so they are ideal for real estate marketing materials, student handouts, construction plans and many other documents.

– Digitize hardcopy with full-color scanning up to 1200 dpi. You can also deliver documents electronically via Scan-to-Email or Scan-to-FTP (requires Ethernet).

– Cut color costs dramatically with Level Color Mode, which reduces ink density up to 65% for graphics and images without affecting the readability of text. Best of all, this mode makes your color cost-per-page the same or less than black & white.
