DYE INK (traditional technologies)
Upon contact with the paper, ink permeates into the fibers and bleeds, blurring the image.
PIGMENT INK (traditional technologies)
Due to its characteristics, ink takes time to dry and fix to the paper.
GelSprinter technology (RICOH AficioG7500)
The GelSprinter Liquid Gel instantly gelatinises and dries as soon as it comes into contact with the paper. Thanks to the GelSprinter technology, blurred images and bleeding can be minimised.
Flexible High Speed Printing
With speeds of up to 20 prints per minute in both black and white and colour, the AficioG7500 is perfect for on-demand jobs. Automatic A3 duplexing is standard and backside prints are ready in less than 20% of the regular printing time, thanks to the close-to-zero drying time of the Liquid Gel.

Colour Made Affordable

Colour prints at virtually the same cost as black and white become reality with GelSprinters Level Colormode1. While texts are printed at normal thickness, only half the amount of colour Liquid Gel is used for the images and graphics. The result? Low cost colour with perfectly readable black texts.

Cost Saving Benefits for a Low Total Cost of Ownership
Colour printouts at almost the same cost as B/W1 (via Level Colormode). Four separate cartridges for extra cost efficiency. Long lasting print heads, separate from the cartridges. No residues left in the cartridges when replacement is due. Use your regular paper stock, no need for expensive special paper. Easy paper saving thanks to the automatic duplex function. Low power consumption: up to 6 W in energy saver mode. No need to replace parts as with other printer types.

Geared for Performance

Even large jobs are no problem for the AficioG7500. Out of the box, this device includes a sizeable 250 sheets of paper input, expandable to 751 sheets. And with their attractively high yield, the AficioG7500s four separate print cartridges make sure frequent refills are unnecessary. Should colour cartridges run empty while printing a larger job, the Dual Tank System makes sure printing continues long enough to finish the job. No need to worry about your print volume either: the AficioG7500 can handle up to 2,500 prints per month.
