Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Im C4500 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 run a 30 to 60 user office.
  • You print 8,000 to 18,000 color impressions a month.
  • You need 12 x 18 SRA3 imposition.
  • You want a 10.1-inch Smart Panel UI.
  • You want SmartSDK app integration.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine for shared multi-team enterprise use.
  • It's fine for in-house marketing collateral.
  • It's fine for executive print teams.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need more than 60 ppm color sustained.
  • Skip this if monthly volume crosses 25,000.
  • Skip this if you only need legal-size output.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh IM C4500 runs 60 letter pages per minute mono and 45 ppm color at 1200 x 1200 dpi on stocks to 12 x 18 inches (specs note 60 in some configs depending on driver). The 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel ships standard with Always Current Technology firmware, 1,200-sheet base input expandable to 4,700 via LCT, single-pass duplex ARDF, and SmartSDK app extensibility. PostScript 3, PCL5e/PCL6, native PDF, scan-to-folder/email/URL, and auto duplex are standard. The one regret is that the listed 60 ppm rating reflects mono throughput; color sustained throughput is closer to 45 ppm in production runs.
