Ricoh Aficio MP C3300

Aficio™MP C2800/MP C3300 – Ricoh launches two new flexible, high-performance colour MFPs

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, October 2008  – Ricoh Europe (Netherlands) B.V. today announced the launch of its latest mid-range colour Multifunctional Products (MFPs).  Copying, printing, scanning and faxing: the Aficio™MP C2800 and MP C3300 offer the essential functions for a busy office environment. With speeds of 28 and 33 pages per minute (ppm) and high image quality, these MFPs are targeted at small and medium businesses and workgroups in large enterprises. They are designed to fit easily into existing networks and to streamline office workflows.
“Ricoh has established itself as a leading innovator of office colour printing,” explains Maaike Giling, Product Manager at Ricoh Europe. “We always strive to combine high quality with cost-efficiency, and to design products that manage even complex jobs while remaining easy to use. The Aficio™MP C2800 and MP C3300 are perfect examples of this. They are capable of advanced data storage, management and document finishing. Thanks to the machines’ LCD touch screen and icon-based user interface, technical expertise is not required to benefit from the wide range of features.”
Apart from their outstanding user-friendliness, the Aficio™MP C2800/MP C3300 also distinguish themselves by their excellent colour performance and productivity. Printing at 1,200 dpi, the Aficio™MP C2800 and MP C3300 deliver high-quality image output. They require only 27 seconds’ warm-up time. The first black-and-white print is ready in just 5 seconds, and a full-colour print in 8 seconds. The devices produce 28 and 33 pages per minute respectively, attaining equal speeds in both monochrome and colour. Duplex printing is standard. Colour and B/W scanning speeds reach up to 50 originals per minute.
A maximum paper capacity of 4,400 sheets contributes to the MFPs’ high productivity. Combined with their ability to handle a wide variety of paper types, this makes them ideal for in-house production of professional-looking documents. Both MFPs are compatible with paper up to 256g/m² from their paper and bypass trays, and will print duplex on stock weighing up to 169 g/m². Paper sizes range between A6 and A3.
The MP C2800/MP C3300 offer an entire range of possibilities to meet customers’ needs. They staple and collate with the 500-sheet and 1,000-sheet finisher, or create attractive sales, training and presentation material with the 1000-sheet booklet finisher. Because they can be upgraded, the Aficio™MP C2800/MP C3300 will grow with the user’s business needs.
In line with the movement towards the digitalisation of workflows, the Aficio™MP C2800/MP C3300 offer several scan functions. Scanned documents can be sent to e-mail, to folder and to USB. Document production can be managed from the user’s desktop computer. Ricoh’s optional GlobalScan NX software further streamlines workflows with its flexible scanning and distribution features. The Aficio™MP C2800/MP C3300 have capacious, 80 GB Hard Disk Drives for extensive data storage, and enhanced security measures have been developed to protect the stored digital data.
The Aficio™MP C2800/MP C3300 are the latest additions to Ricoh’s advanced range of digital office equipment. Ricoh currently manufactures one of the world’s most extensive line-ups of printers, copiers, scanners, faxes and multifunctional devices, as well as advanced software solutions
