Designed for businesses with the need for high-volume printing, the Ricoh AFICIO MP C3500 is a versatile copier, printer, and scanner. Optional fax capabilities are available if needed; you can add them down the road as your company evolves. Ricoh crafted the AFICIO MP C3500 with a 200,000-page monthly duty max. Standard Ethernet and optional wireless connectivity make this B&W and color machine accessible to your whole workgroup.

In 2007, Buyers Laboratory Inc. chose the Ricoh AFICIO MP C3500 as its “Pick of the Year” award for outstanding segment 3 business color MFP. Across the board this machine scored high ratings. Copy speeds were tested and rated above average for the 35 ppm mark in both B&W and color documents. Ricoh found a way to balance performance, reliability, and image quality.

There are four toner cartridges that the Ricoh AFICIO MP C3500 needs: black (841342), cyan (841345), magenta (841344), and yellow (841343). The toners each have a fairly robust yield at 23,000 pages for black and 17,000 pages for each color—estimated with a 5 percent page coverage average. There is the option of the premium compatible toner from Precision Roller or the genuine Ricoh brand when choosing your replacement.
