The speed and quality of the Ricoh Aficio SP C231N/ SP C232DN allow users to produce vibrant color prints at a rate of 21 pages-per-minute.

Affordability is a key characteristic of Ricoh's new color laser printers. The printers are low-cost network ready devices that come complete with numerous time-saving innovations that help any business operate smoothly. The Aficio SP C231N/ SP C232DN are versatile enough to handle all media types with maximum efficiency and image quality including labels and envelopes. Furthermore the laser printers offer users a low total cost of ownership with High Yield All-In-One print cartridges which help reduce per-page costs and offers three times as much toner as their predecessors.
