Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio 470w 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're an architecture, engineering, or construction firm that prints 500-2,000 mono D/E-size plans a month and needs two roll sizes loaded simultaneously.
  • You scan and copy line drawings, blueprints, and technical illustrations and want 600 dpi with 256 levels of grayscale to preserve fine line work and shading.
  • You're replacing a single-roll legacy plotter and want the dual-roll productivity gain (no roll swaps for size changes).
  • You print at D-size at 7 ppm with an 18-second first copy out — production-pace mono wide-format.
  • You have the floor space for a 50 x 29-inch standalone unit at 485 lb.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 2,000-5,000 D-size pages a month — within the 80,000-page monthly duty cycle but you'll start to notice the speed.
  • You scan to email occasionally — works, but the integrated scanner is mono only.
  • You only use one paper size most of the time — the second roll is insurance, not always-on workflow.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color wide-format — this is mono only. Get a Ricoh MP CW2200SP or HP DesignJet T1700.
  • You need 4 rolls loaded — get the Aficio 480W (4-roll capacity).
  • You print over 5,000 D-size pages a month — move up to a modern Ricoh MP W series production unit.
  • The Aficio 470W is end-of-life — Ricoh's current wide-format catalog is the MP CW/W series. Parts and consumables (toner, developer for 470W) are increasingly hard to source through standard channels. Buy with a service contract that has parts inventory.
  • You need a small footprint — at 50 inches wide and 485 lb this is a floor-standing production plotter.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio 470W is a legacy mono wide-format production MFP — copy, print, scan — built for architecture, engineering, and construction shops that print and copy 500-2,000 mono D-size and E-size plans a month. It runs at 7 cpm at D-size (4 cpm at E-size) with an 18-second first copy out, prints up to 36 inches wide, and holds two paper rolls simultaneously so operators don't have to swap rolls when switching between D and E sizes. Output resolution is 600 x 600 dpi with 256 levels of grayscale, which is what you want for fine line work, dimensioned drawings, and shaded technical illustrations. Monthly duty cycle is 80,000 pages and the unit measures 50 x 29 x 47 inches at 485 lb — floor-standing. Toner capacity is around 30,000 square feet of output. Connectivity is 10/100 Ethernet plus parallel and USB; the integrated scanner is mono. Marketed as the first wide-format unit to carry the Aficio name. Original MSRP $26,490. The thing buyers regret: not pricing the service contract before the install. Parts and developer for the 470W are increasingly scarce in standard distribution — buy with a contract that guarantees parts inventory, or factor in secondary-market sourcing. Modern equivalent is the Ricoh MP W series.

FAQ

Ricoh Aficio 470w, 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 Ricoh Aficio 470w ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has a yield of approximately 2,200 pages. The replacement toner model is the Genuine Ricoh Type 1160W (Part 888029), which also yields around 2,200 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Ricoh Aficio 470w is designed for higher volume printing, handling 500-2,000 mono D-size and E-size plans per month, while the Aficio 240w is suited for smaller volumes of 50-200 prints per month. The 470w supports two paper rolls simultaneously for switching between D and E sizes, whereas the 240w uses a single roll. Additionally, the 470w has a faster first copy out time (18 seconds vs. 22 seconds) and a larger footprint (50 x 29 x 47 inches vs. 42.5 x 25 x 23 inches). For small offices with lower print volumes, the Aficio 240w may be a more cost-effective choice.

It offers a fast print speed of 7 cpm at D-size and a monthly duty cycle of 80,000 pages. However, if your business requires color printing or higher volumes, consider stepping up to a commercial option.
No, the Ricoh Aficio 470w is a monochrome printer and does not support color printing. For color alternatives, consider the Ricoh MP CW series or other wide-format color printers designed for technical and architectural prints.
