Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Pro C901S Graphic Arts Edition 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."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a print shop and want one device for production output plus operator scanning
  • You produce booklets and brochures on coated stocks and need offset-quality matte finish
  • You sometimes scan customer originals or proofs at production speed
  • You want Fiery FS-100Pro and inline booklet/trim finishing on one footprint
  • You can isolate the device so casual walk-up jobs don't interrupt production runs
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine for an in-plant that wants both production color and a heavy-duty copier in one box
  • It's fine if scan volume is moderate — under 5K pages a day
  • It's fine when paired with smaller office MFPs for general staff use
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you only need production printing — save money with the single-function C901
  • Skip this if walk-up traffic will constantly disrupt scheduled jobs
  • Skip this if monthly color volume is under 50K clicks
  • Skip this if your shop already has a dedicated production scanner
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

With a built-in scanner and copy controller bolted onto the Pro C901 engine, the C901S Graphic Arts Edition gives production print shops walk-up MFP convenience without giving up the 90 ppm color speed or 1200 dpi quality that defines the C901 family. Stocks up to 300 gsm, 13x19 full-bleed, and the same PxP chemical toner for matte coated work all carry over from the single-function model. The scanner runs at up to 220 ipm duplex, useful when an operator needs to recapture a customer's existing piece for reprint or scan-to-archive proofs as part of job tracking. Fiery FS-100Pro handles VDP, imposition, and trims via inline finishing options including booklet, ring-bind, and trimmer modules. The MFP body adds about 18 inches of height versus the single-function model, but the integrated scanner saves the cost and floor space of a separate Fujitsu or Canon production scanner. One regret: walk-up users will sometimes interrupt production runs by coming to scan a single page — keep it in a controlled area, not the open hallway, or add a print release system to triage walk-up traffic.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
