Ricoh Aficio™3260C – High Speed Multifunction System for Cost Efficient Document Production Backs Ricoh’s ‘Black to Colour’ Strategy

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, July 2005 -- Ricoh Europe B.V. today announced the introduction of the Aficio™3260C colour capable multifunction system. Following Ricoh’s ‘Black to Colour’ strategy, the system offers high speed, high quality black and white, and colour document (re)production. Besides printing, scanning and copying, it offers added value functionalities, like high efficiency file distribution via the network. Its extensive document management capabilities facilitate office workflow optimisation. Affordability, user friendliness and high level security are additional strengths.

The Aficio™3260C offers all-in-one print, scan and copy capabilities. Office users with a wide range of types of printing assignment will appreciate its versatility.  One system that offers colour only as needed and handles complex assignments with little more than a panel touch are key user benefits. Its characteristics are suited for in-house production of professional colour output, such as stationery, presentations etc., offering businesses considerable cost saving possibilities. A new type of squeezable toner bottles contributes to further reduction of costs and office waste.

For a colour machine, the Aficio™3260C is strikingly compact and has been cleverly designed, so that it can be placed against a wall, thus economising on space. The touch screen is clear and intuitive for all print, scan and copy tasks. Frequent copy and print jobs can be stored in the Aficio™3260C’s document server minimising time, space and costs of handling and filing. Different file formats and hardcopy documents from different users can easily be merged, printed and finished as one document. Automatic routing of various print jobs to the most suitable printer in the network is possible as well.

High productivity and high reliability are demonstrated by the paper capacity of up to 7,400 sheets and print/copy speeds of 60 ppm in black and white and 45 ppm in colour. The unit handles paper to A3+, a sturdy 256 g/m² as well as overhead sheets. Finishing options are extensive, including stapling and booklet finishing.

Bright and consistent colour quality, glossiness and stable output production at high volumes and speeds are ensured by the oil-less toner and special image transfer belt with constant feedback sensor. 

The Aficio™3260C’s scanner function offers various network distribution capabilities such as ‘scan to folder’ and ‘scan to e-mail’ (via LDAP). Security tools such as full incoming and outgoing data encryption are standard and extensive options are available. Network administrators and IT managers can set user privileges, control usage and produce complete statistics. The standard software allows for monitoring all networked peripherals through any web browser.

Ikuro Yamaga, Product Manager at Ricoh Europe underlines the Aficio™3260C’s propositions: “It is a machine that has clearly been designed for multiple user environments. Yet, it has all functionalities of a full-blown office copier, printer and scanner with on-demand, high quality colour as a bonus. The total costs for all this, on the other hand, are remarkably low.”

The Aficio™3260C is the latest addition to Ricoh's range of colour capable multifunction office systems. Its material use satisfies the EU 2006 restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) standards and is Energy Star® compliant. The company currently manufactures one of the world's most extensive line-ups of copiers, printers, scanners, faxes and multifunctional devices, as well as advanced software solutions.
