Aficio SP C222DN,
February 9, 2012 Kingston - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ricoh Aficio SP C222DN Color Laser Printer (Office Product)
I own a couple of OKIdata printers and in my opinion, they are the best. However, they require both toners and drums which can destroy a budget. I use the printers for both home and for Church projects.
The SP C222DN is a very good printer. The start-up time and print output are very similar to the OKI. However, in my opinion, the print quality is a step below the OKI. Don't get me wrong, the color is not bad but the OKI color is remarkable. The selling point for me in terms of the SP C222DN is the cost of the toners. And I believe only one drum is required. Now days, it seems that most printers do an adequately job but the ink and maintenance are the key.
In summary, I am pleased with my purchase but will be shopping in the future for something requiring less maintenance & upkeep.
