Ricoh Aficio GX2500 review

 

An innovative but expensive alternative to traditional inkjet printers

High-quality text and graphics ; High-speed printing ; Up to 1,200dpi resolution ; 250-sheet paper tray

Ricoh - Aficio GX2500

 

It's not often a new print technology comes to market, such is the power and maturity of inkjet and laser technology. OK, there's OKI's LED office printing and Canon's dye sublimation photo prints, but both these ...

Ricoh Aficio GX 2500

 

Ricoh's Aficio GX 2500 is an inkjet printer with a difference: rather than use tanks of liquid ink, it uses gel-based ink. Confusingly, Ricoh refers to this as a 'liquid gel' technology, but there are differences between this and traditional 'wet ink'...

The output is the final arbiter of quality and worth of an inkjet printer. Here, the Ricoh Aficio GX 2500 showed that it's really aimed more at the business market than the graphic designer or photo printer crowd. This is a perfectly viable marketing...
