Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh SP C842DN 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 print 10K+ color pages a month and don't need built-in scanning
  • You need 12x18 oversize output for marketing pieces and design comps
  • You want PostScript 3 plus PCL for accurate output from Adobe and CAD apps
  • You can pair it with a scan-capable MFP for capture workflows
  • You want a print-release queue to keep walk-up traffic orderly
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine as a centralized color printer for a marketing department
  • It's fine for in-plants needing fast color throughput without scan duties
  • It's fine paired with smaller workgroup MFPs for general office use
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need scan, copy, or fax in one device — get the C840DN MFP
  • Skip this if monthly color volume is under 3K pages
  • Skip this if you only print letter and legal — this is overkill
  • Skip this if you need stocks heavier than 256 gsm
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

As the single-function variant of the C840 family, the Ricoh SP C842DN moves to 60 ppm color and B&W at 1200x1200 dpi, with the same 12x18 max sheet and 256 gsm stock ceiling. The faster engine targets transactional and short-run color print where scan and copy aren't needed — call-center print stations, real-estate listing presentations, and tabloid newsletter printing where speed matters more than walk-up MFP convenience. Standard duplex, 1,200-sheet input expandable to 4,700 sheets across multiple trays, and PostScript 3 plus PCL6 keep mixed environments happy. The controller supports spot color and inline calibration, useful when consistency matters across daily runs of brand-colored materials. The 12x18 sheet handling means tri-folds, tabloid newsletters, and small posters all print in-house. One regret: with no scanner, you'll need a separate MFP for any document capture — and at 60 ppm, walk-up users may queue behind long jobs without a print release system, so plan for either a release queue or a separate scan device.

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.
