Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Ricoh Im C3500 is actually for
Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
- It's fine for shared multi-team color.
- It's fine for in-house marketing collateral.
- It's fine for executive print and design teams.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
- Skip this if you need more than 40 ppm.
- Skip this if monthly volume crosses 15,000.
- Skip this if you can't add LCT capacity.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
At 35 letter pages per minute mono and color, the Ricoh IM C3500 prints at 1200 x 1200 dpi on stocks up to 12 x 18 inches. The 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel runs Always Current Technology firmware that lets the device pull new features from Ricoh's servers post-install. Base input is 1,200 sheets expandable to 4,700 via LCT, single-pass duplex ARDF is standard, and PostScript 3, PCL5e/PCL6, native PDF, scan-to-folder/email/URL, and auto duplex ship in the box. SmartSDK app extensibility supports authentication, scan workflow, and ERP integrations. The one regret is the same 1,200-sheet base input found across the IM color line, so plan on the LCT for any office printing 5,000+ a month.| Print technology | Multifunction |
