Ricoh is boss
When you think about printers, you probably immediately go to Xerox, HP, Canon or even Samsung. Most people have never even heard of a smaller company known as Ricoh. However, each year that passes, this company builds bigger and better machines that rival the top dogs. Ricoh has really started to shine in the last couple years, and have some awards to show for it. Actually, in 2011 they were given the ‘pick of the year’ award, meaning their printer, the Aficio MP C6501SP was a better choice than anything made by the popular manufacturers.
As well as that award, they have received a few environmental awards. This means that even with the upgraded technology and all of the energy it takes to make these multi-function machines run, theirs are still as environmentally friendly as possible. It is important, as the environment continues to take a beating and global warming becomes more of a reality, for companies are aware of the effect their products have on the air we breathe and the ground we walk on. Ricoh has been recognized many times for their efforts, and that should be considered by any consumer on the market for a new printer.
Ricoh may not be the most well known manufacturer on the market and it is likely that if you walk into an office environment, most of the equipment will be made by one of the major manufacturers. However, this small company is on the rise and continues to prove themselves over and over again with the quality of the products they build and the price they offer consumers. In addition, Ricoh products are known for being technologically advanced and reliable. Most people just want a machine that is easy to operate and will serve its purpose for many years to come and Ricoh offers all of that.
