Sum-up: New laser-quality GelSprinter™

printer

s are outstanding bargains.

With Ricoh’s rollout of three new color print-

ers using its revolutionary GelSprinter™ tech-

nology, the compan

y has tak

en a major leap

in the industry-wide quest to develop inex-

pensive laser-quality color systems with the

w pur

chase price of

an ink jet printer.

How did Ricoh do it? Ricoh accomplished

this with its innovative GelSprinter Liquid

Gel™, an ultr

a-quick drying, sunlight-resist-

ant and waterproof liquid, advanced perma-

nent print head tec

hnology (guar

anteed to

last f

or the life of the unit) and a state-of-the-

art Belt Transfer System. These printers are

competiti

ve with today’s cutting-edge desktop

color laser printers in terms of performance,

quality, durability, and perhaps most impor-

tantly, consumables costs.

Just look at the specs: the $199 Aficio

GX3000 and $279 Aficio GX3050N print at

29ppm in color and black-and-white, while

the $369 Aficio GX5050N prints at 30ppm in

color and black-and-white. The difference

between print speeds of these models is mini-

mal. Our assumption is they’re about equal in

terms of speed, and the GX5050N was rated

1ppm faster to differentiate it as a superior

machine for marketing purposes.

Note, however, that as with conventional ink

jet printers, these ratings are for draft quality

(about 300 x 150dpi quality). Still, the speeds

for higher quality levels are good: at 600 x

300dpi quality

, the GX3000 and GX3050N

print in color at 8.5ppm and the while the

GX5050N prints in color at 15.5ppm speed;

in high quality mode (1,800 x 600dpi quality),

the GX3000 and GX3050N print color a

4.5ppm and the GX5050N prints color at

7.5ppm.

That’

s not all. All three machines print at

native 1,200dpi resolution, which can be

interpolated up to 3,600 x 1,200dpi. First

print speed is under 9 seconds for the GX3000

and GX3050N, and 6 seconds for the

GX5050N. Those are exceptional ratings,
