Ricoh GX2500 Color Printer

Get More Color for Less

Surprisingly rich color. Business-ready speed. Dependable performance. The RICOH® GX2500 color printer delivers all this and more in a compact, cost- saving design for workgroups with up to four users. Its GelSprinter™ technology blends the speed and quality of laser with the affordability of inkjet, enabling you to print eye-catching color, maintain high productivity and reduce expenses.

Fast Results for Low-Volume Work

Get all the convenience of a color inkjet printer, plus faster speed, more reliable operation and visibly better image quality.

•Enhance efficiency with laser-like speed. The GX2500 produces

28 pages-per-minute in color and black & white, and first color print time is just 9.0 seconds.

•Print vivid, vibrant color documents with resolution up to

1200 x 1200 dpi, 2-bit color (3600 x 1200 dpi equivalent).

•Expect outstanding business-quality color from an improved viscous-ink formulation. Quick-drying gel droplets bond easily with plain or glossy paper, preventing smearing and bleed-through.

•Maximize image integrity with GelSprinter™ ink, which is waterproof and resists fading when exposed to sunlight. This ink is perfect for adding color to reports, proposals, spreadsheets and other important documents.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

Schools, real estate firms, insurance offices and other cost-conscious organizations get outstanding color for a small investment with the GX2500.

•Save money with one of the lowest acquisition costs in the Ricoh portfolio.

•Cut color costs dramatically with Level Color Mode, which reduces ink density up to 65% for graphics and images without affecting the readability of text. Best of all, this mode makes your color cost-per-page the same or less than black & white.

•Reduce cost-per-page with ink cartridges that provide higher capacity than most inkjet cartridges. Also, the GX2500 does not require expensive inkjet paper.

•Minimize operating expenses with Energy Star® compliant power consumption and a printhead that never needs to be replaced.

Superior Usability

User-friendly features ensure easy operation.

•Save space on the desktop with a compact, flat-top design.

•Prevent downtime by monitoring printer status with the @Remote* utility.

•Optimize uptime by alerting administrators via e-mail when supplies are low.

* Requires the optional Network Interface Card.
