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.

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