Ricoh Aficio CL7000 Series

-

High-Volume, High-Speed, High-Performance Color Printing!

The versatile Ricoh Aficio CL7000 Series is a high-speed, high quality color laser printer solution that allows businesses to share information and collaborate more quickly, more efficiently…and with MORE IMPACT! Incorporating Ricoh’s innovative single-pass tandem laser technology, the CL7000 fires out brilliant color pages at a blazing 28 ppm (38 ppm in B&W). Better yet, the CL7000’s optimized 500MHz processor prints out the first color page in 12 seconds and B&W in 9, meaning that your jobs start printing before you even make your way over to the printer. And it delivers a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi; that means you get razor sharp text along with exceptionally smooth graphics.

With a monthly duty cycle of 200,000 prints, the Aficio CL7000 was built to handle the workloads of busy mid- to large-size workgroups. It can also function as a secondary workgroup printer to alleviate some of your organization’s B&W print volume. Offices currently using older, inefficient, and costly black & white laser printers in combination with a first-generation color printers can streamline their productivity by upgrading to a consolidated network device like the Aficio CL7000. In addition, large corporate reprographic departments and other very high volume on-demand printing environments may be able to leverage multiple CL7000s as a low-cost alternative to purchasing single high-production units.

The Ricoh Aficio CL7000 was designed specifically for use in environments that are producing predominantly color pages. Offices can now print high quantities of color-intensive documents – such as fliers, proposals, newsletters, direct mail pieces and brochures – quickly and cost-effectively in-house. And with its 12” x 18” output capability, the CL7000 is also a viable choice for preliminary design proofing applications.

The Aficio CL7000 is also designed with ecological care and complies with the highest standards in energy efficiency. It uses an environmentally-friendly toner. The conductor unit produces zero emissions. And thanks to a super-fast warm up time of just 99 seconds and a “sleep mode” function when idle, the CL7000 can reduce power consumption.
