Editorial note

The Ricoh Aficio SP C730DN is a printer that stands out for its impressive printing speed of 32 pages per minute, making it an excellent choice for high-volume work environments. Its built-in duplex printing helps reduce paper costs and contributes to a more eco-friendly resource management. Additionally, the LED printing technology offers exceptional image quality with a resolution of up to 2400 x 600 DPI, ideal for professional documents. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits wireless printing options, which can be a disadvantage for users seeking more flexibility. Furthermore, the 20-second warm-up time may seem long in environments where speed is crucial. Weighing 40 kg, the installation and movement of the printer can also pose challenges, especially in tight workspaces. Finally, while the print cartridges are of good quality, their cost can add up for users who print a lot in color. In terms of scoring, the user experience receives a score of 78, reflecting an intuitive interface, although the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity is a notable drawback. Performance is rated at 85, highlighting the printing speed, but the warm-up time is a weak point. The design, rated at 75, is modern but the weight remains a barrier. Value for money is rated at 70, due to the potential cost of cartridges. Finally, features, rated at 80, and robustness, at 72, indicate that the printer is well-equipped for heavy use, but the output capacity of 200 sheets may require frequent interventions in a high-volume office.
