Ricoh SP C250DN VERDICT Inkjet printers will make more sense for most people, but for mono and occasional color laser printing, this is worth considering.Our goal is to keep you happy, whatever it takes 100% Satisfaction Guarantee As color lasers go, though, the Ricoh SP C250DN is unusually tempting. The obvious reason to choose this over an inkjet printer is to print more pages faster, though you’d be paying more per page. You might want to use slightly thicker paper than normal: laser toner (basically melted particles of plastic) doesn’t soak in like ink, but we still saw a bit of show-through. Duplexing (doublesided printing) worked well, without adding too much to the printing time.

Photos might not look as, well, photographic as with a good inkjet, but halftoning – the dot patterning that’s used to achieve blends between colors – wasn’t too obvious, and color graphics came out even and neutral. In color, it managed about 10ppm, falling to six with more complex graphics. In our tests, the Ricoh SP C250DN didn’t quite hit the claimed 20 pages per minute ( ppm) for plain text, but it was still faster than a cheap inkjet. Because the colours all come separately, you could use the Ricoh SP C250DN mainly as a black-andwhite printer, taking advantage of the crisp black text produced by the laser engine at a reasonable 2.5p per page. If you only use it occasionally, it’ll be a long while before you need replacements. You do get starter cartridges with the printer, and their quoted life of 1,000 pages initially makes the printer great value for money. At over 13.5p per page, that adds up to nearly twice the running cost of a typical inkjet printer.

The color cartridges are rated for 1,600 pages (although they’ll run out a lot faster if you print large areas of color), while the black should last 2,000 pages.

To replace the full set of four black and color toner cartridges will cost you – are you sitting down? – around £230. To print from an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet you have to use Ricoh’s own Smart Device Print & Scan app (which only allows a limited range of document types. Sadly, this doesn’t support AirPrint, so you can’t print directly from iPhone or iPad apps. Check Amazon Unusually for a low-cost laser printer, it not only has a USB 2.0 port to connect directly to a PC, and Ethernet for use over a wired network, but it also has Wi-Fi built in.
