Editorial note

The Ricoh Aficio SP 3500N is a laser printer that stands out for its high printing speed of 28 pages per minute, providing an efficient solution for users with daily printing needs. Its maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI ensures quality prints, which is ideal for professional documents. However, several drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of duplex printing functionality limits paper usage efficiency, which can lead to additional costs for users who wish to print in duplex. Additionally, the absence of Wi-Fi connectivity restricts integration options in modern work environments, where wireless connectivity is often preferred. The internal memory of 64 MB may also prove insufficient for handling complex printing tasks or high volumes, which can slow down the process in high-demand situations. In terms of design, the Ricoh Aficio SP 3500N has a modern appearance, but its weight of 11,700 g makes it less portable, posing challenges in offices where space is limited. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money is favorable due to its 550-sheet paper capacity and its ENERGY STAR certification, which attests to its energy efficiency. Overall, the Ricoh Aficio SP 3500N is a good choice for those looking for a fast and efficient printer, but users should consider its limitations in connectivity and features.
