Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio Mp C2551 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer 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 sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a small office of 5-15 people that needs 11x17 color in-house — design firm, real estate, small medical, small law.
  • You print 1,500-4,500 mixed mono/color pages a month and want one device for print, copy, scan, fax with auto duplex standard.
  • You're upgrading from an MP C2050/C2550 and want a slightly newer controller with USB and SD card walk-up support.
  • You need a compact A3 unit (23 x 26-inch base) and aftermarket parts and toner that are still readily available.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 6,000 pages a month — within the 40K duty cycle but the dual 250-sheet drawers will need refilling often.
  • You scan to USB or SD card — works fine, just slower than scan-to-network folder.
  • You're keeping an existing C2551 alive — toner is on aftermarket, engine is durable past 200K pages with regular PMs.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need 12x18 — this is 11x17 max. For 12x18 step up to a C2030/C2050 chassis or current IM C2510.
  • You print more than 6,000 pages a month — get an MP C3001/3501 or current IM C3010.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning — reversing ADF only.
  • You need official Ricoh service — end-of-service.
  • You need modern security — pre-SOP controller, won't pass current IT audit on TLS 1.2+ or modern AD.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio MP C2551 is a 25 ppm compact A3 color laser MFP from Ricoh's C2051/C2551 platform (circa 2012). It prints and copies at 25 ppm in mono and color up to 11x17, runs auto duplex standard, ships with a 50-sheet reversing ADF, dual 250-sheet drawers (600-sheet base capacity with bypass), and a 4.3-inch color touchscreen. The GW controller added USB and SD card slots on the operator panel for scan-to-media and walk-up printing — useful for offices that don't want to put everything through the network. 40,000-page monthly duty cycle and small footprint put it in the 1,500-4,500 page/month range for offices of 5-15 people. The thing buyers regret: 11x17 max, no 12x18 — if you need bleed-area marketing prints, this is the wrong machine. End-of-service from Ricoh, but parts and toner are still readily available aftermarket. For a current equivalent, get the IM C2510.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
