AFICIO G700 & G500
How do the G700 and G500 do it? The credit goes primarily to three core technologies:
• These printers use new formula of Viscous Inks that begin to dry immediately upon contact with
the air. This limits dot spreading and prevents ink bleed-through. Viscous inks resist smudging, will
not dissolve upon accidental contact with water, and resist fading when exposed to sunlight. As a
result, the G700/G500 are capable of delivering high-resolution two-sided prints at fast speeds on
plain paper without smearing the first side when the duplex rollers invert each page.
• Extra wide print heads that enable the G700/G500 to print multiple lines per pass across each
page, increasing speeds, reducing wear and tear, and supporting true business volumes.
• Complete support for every sheet of paper as it travels through the paper path resting on a Belt
Transfer System. This ensures proper registration, maintains a uniform distance between paper and
print heads, and minimizes paper jams.
In truth, there aren’t many other Business Inkjet printers to compete against—the category is simply
too new. The following pages will review how Ricoh’s new printers stack up against the leading BIJ
models from HP, as well as a representative of color laser and typical inkjet printers. Please note that
speed and CPP can vary greatly with inkjet printers as a function of the selected print mode/
resolution, image patterns, and page coverage.
Note: This information has been compiled from several sources including BLI Specification Guides, product
brochures, and data gathered from manufacturer Websites. Some discrepancies were found.This document
represents a compilation of these sources to the best of Ricoh’s ability. Please test any performance claims
against a specific competitor using identical file/job parameters to gauge true performance in the customer
environment before making any claims of superiority.
