Ricoh Launches New Printer Flagship Aficio™SP C811DN for Fast and Cost Effective A3 Colour Laser Printing

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, December 2006 – Ricoh Europe B.V. today announced the introduction of the new Aficio™SP C811DN high end colour laser printer. Top end yet highly affordable, this flagship model provides in-house printing to the general office market. It has been designed to meet the requirements of customers who want to control costs by preventing outsourcing of semi-professional print jobs. Offering fast speed colour laser printing at an interesting purchasing price, it includes the features, functionality and output quality of a top class professional device.

The Aficio™SP C811DN runs at 40 prints per minute in both black and white and full colour. Duplex output is produced at a similar rate. Paper sizes range from A6 to A3+ and the maximum capacity is 3,200 sheets of plain or recycled paper, transparencies, printer labels and envelopes. For special applications, paper up to 256 g/m² can be used.

To optimise image definition, the SP C811DN uses oil-free PxP™ (polyester polymerisation) toner, which consists of extremely small particles. In combination with the new multi-bit printer engine, remarkably sharp 600 dpi image quality and superb colour registration are guaranteed. Finishing options include stapling, punching and booklet creation, so users can easily produce quality colour documents such as newsletters, direct mailings, catalogues and presentations in-house. Furthermore, the SP C811DN is compatible with virtually any network and backed by Ricoh’s suite of monitoring, management and cost accounting solutions. With a straight paper path and high duty cycle, Ricoh’s designers put emphasis on dependability.

Valerie Croese, Product Manager at Ricoh Europe B.V., explains why Ricoh is launching the Aficio™SP C811DN. “The increasing demand for colour printing in business environments is driving the strong growth in the 13+ pages per minute category. There is a trend towards higher performance printers. Offering improved image quality, wide media support and fast speeds, the SP C811DN will expand our position in the high end colour printer market.”

Security has become an increasing concern for IT managers and is therefore a central aspect of the SP C811DN. Apart from advanced user authentication and controlled access capabilities, key features include the ability to erase and overwrite all temporary data on the printer’s Hard Disk Drive. Confidential information can be encrypted and prints can be outfitted with a masking pattern in order to prevent unauthorised copying.

Another key benefit of the SP C811DN is its outstanding user friendliness. The straightforward 4 line LCD operation panel guides users intuitively through complex jobs, while supply maintenance is simple and fast thanks to the full front accessibility and the easy handling paper trays.

The Aficio™SP C811DN is the latest addition to Ricoh’s range of colour printers. The company manufactures one of the world’s most extensive line-ups of copiers, printers, scanners, faxes and multifunctional devices, as well as advanced software solutions.
