Editorial note

The Ricoh SP C252DN is a color laser printer that stands out with its maximum resolution of 2400 x 600 DPI, ensuring prints of exceptional clarity. Its printing speed of 20 pages per minute, both in black and color, is satisfactory for everyday use, although it may be insufficient for high-demand work environments. Additionally, the built-in duplex printing feature helps optimize paper usage and reduce waste, which is a considerable advantage for environmentally conscious users. However, its weight of 23.8 kg can complicate installation, especially in tight spaces. The output tray, with a maximum capacity of 150 sheets, may also lead to frequent interruptions when printing large volumes of documents. Furthermore, the operational cost of the print cartridges can be high, which could diminish the perceived value for intensive use. Finally, the internal memory of 128 MB may prove limited for complex tasks or large print jobs. In terms of user experience, the printer offers a user-friendly interface and wireless connectivity options, allowing for easy printing from various devices. The modern design is a plus, although the weight remains a drawback to consider. The user manual is detailed and helpful, making it easier to get accustomed to the printer. In summary, the Ricoh SP C252DN is a solid option for those seeking a quality printer with advanced features, but it may not be suitable for all work environments due to its performance and cost limitations.
