Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Lanier MP C8003 is actually for
Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when
this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We
offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.
Best fit
Pick this if...
You print 100,000 to 150,000 pages monthly with sustained color demand.
You need 8,100 sheet capacity and the SR4120 finisher.
You want the 10.1-inch smart panel and Ricoh app workflow.
You handle stock up to 142 lb cover and 12x18 sheets.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
You print 60,000 pages monthly and want headroom.
You'd use mobile printing and standard 3,700 sheet capacity.
You want enterprise security with HDD encryption.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
You print under 30,000 pages monthly, the C6004 saves money.
You need a desktop unit, this is full floor-standing.
You're running color-managed press workflows, jump to Pro C7100.
You don't need finishing, the base config inflates the spec.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Lanier MP C8003 is the rebadged Ricoh MP C8003, a 80 ppm color A3 MFP positioned at the top of the workgroup line right below the Pro C series. Resolution is 1200x4800 dpi via VCSEL laser, the 10.1-inch smart panel has motion-activated wake, and standard paper capacity is 3,700 sheets expandable to 8,100. Duty cycle is rated 150,000 pages monthly and the engine is built for sustained 80 ppm in both color and B&W, which is rare at this tier. Real workflow features: optional SR4120 finisher for booklet making, multi-position stapling, and 2/3-hole punch, plus mobile printing through AirPrint and Smart Device Connector. The classic regret here is buying the C8003 when a C6004 would have done the work, the difference between 65 and 80 ppm only matters if you're actually saturating the engine at 100,000+ pages monthly. Otherwise you're paying for headroom you'll never use.
Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most
small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy
outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and
supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for
exact pricing.

FAQ
Lanier MP C8003, common questions
The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.
Yes, the Lanier MP C8003 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter black toner yields approximately 47,000–48,500 pages, while color toners (cyan, magenta, yellow) yield about 26,000 pages each at 5% coverage. Replacement high-yield toners include the Ricoh 842196 (black, ~48,500 pages) and color cartridges (842199, 842198, 842197, ~26,000 pages each). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Lanier MP C8003 is a high-speed (80 ppm) color A3 MFP designed for large workgroups, with a 150,000-page monthly duty cycle, expandable paper capacity up to 8,100 sheets, and advanced finishing options like booklet making. In contrast, the Lanier IM 350F is a monochrome A4 MFP (35 ppm) built for small offices, with a 40,000-page duty cycle, standard 600-sheet capacity, and basic scan/fax features. The MP C8003 supports color printing and higher volumes, while the IM 350F is more compact and cost-effective for lower-volume mono needs. For small offices with modest printing demands, the IM 350F offers better value.
The Lanier MP C8003 is overkill for most small businesses due to its high speed (80 ppm) and large monthly duty cycle (150,000 pages). It’s ideal for businesses with heavy print volumes exceeding 10,000 pages monthly, but smaller offices may find it unnecessary and costly. For lighter workloads, consider a more compact model like the Lanier IM 350F or explore other options.
Yes, the Lanier MP C8003 is a full-color printer capable of producing high-quality color documents at 80 ppm. It uses separate cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners for vibrant output.
