BERTL Honors Ricoh Color MFP Series

Ricoh Americas Corp.’s Aficio MP C2550, Aficio MP C3300 and Aficio MP C5000 color multifunction products (MFPs) were awarded Five Star Ratings from BERTL.

In addition, the MP C2550 and MP C5000 were awarded BERTL’s Best awards. BERTL’s Galaxy Star Rating intends to help consumers identify high-performing document management products. In its 14th year, BERTL’s Best Awards recognize the most innovative and highest-quality products in the printing industry.

Across the board, the products received high marks for print and copy productivity and speed for both color and monochrome jobs. The devices each outperformed competitors via superior finishing capabilities and image quality suitable for presentations, graphics, proposals and office documents. The functionality of the MFPs earned accolades from BERTL’s analysts due to intuitive full-color W-VGA control panels with clear, crisp graphics, easy troubleshooting instructions for misfeeds, and the ability to manage documents from both a walk-up and desktop point of view.

The Aficio MP C2550 stood out especially for a wide array of features including internal finishing and scan to USB and SD cards, all within a smaller footprint, while the Aficio MP C5000 earned high marks for professional finishing options such as saddle stitching, booklet making, multi-position stapling and hole punch.

“It’s a great honor to have three Ricoh MFPs qualify for BERTL’s Five Star Rating. Exceeding industry standards is our goal for every one of our products, and Ricoh is proud to have achieved that with the Aficio MP C2550, Aficio MP C3300 and Aficio MP C5000,” said Michael Hunter, director, product marketing for Ricoh Americas. “We continually strive to create the best products and solutions for our customers and to be recognized by an industry leader such as BERTL supports our objective of providing high-quality products.”

To qualify for Five Star Ratings, products must undergo stringent testing by BERTL analysts and meet a variety of criteria, including security, workflow, image quality, ease-of-use and price, among others. BERTL’s Best winners are selected after a thorough testing process by BERTL analysts who distinguish the best products and solutions in the marketplace.
