Optimize Image Quality

In addition to its state-of-the-art controller,
the RICOH Pro C550EX/C700EX
includes several features that help
ensure excellent image quality.

• Sharpen every image with new PxP

toner technology. Smaller toner
particles ensure smooth, even
distribution, which enhances edge
definition, coverage and density while
improving color matching.

• Parallel calibration ensures consistent

color quality over long job runs.

• Remove trace indentations that can occur

after fusing. The system incorporates a
smaller, more precise mechanism for moving
paper in and out of the fuser unit.

Finishing and
Media Flexibility

Configure the system
with one or more in-line
finishing options and run a
diverse array of media to
meet your customers’ most pressing needs.

• Handle a very wide range of stock. The paper trays accommodate

weights up to 80 lb. Cover and will duplex up to 90 lb. Index.

• Run longer jobs on more sizes with the standard Large Capacity Tray.

It accepts sizes up to 12" x 18" and weights up to 110 lb. Cover,
and holds up to 2,000 sheets.

• Produce booklets up to 60 pages (15 sheets) with the optional

SR4020 Booklet Maker.

• Insert maps, drawings, plans and other large documents in smaller-

format documents with the Z-Fold Unit.

move quickly, with no room for error.
This system ensures simple, convenient
operation at all times.
