Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio Mp C4500 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 department of 30-60 people that needs 11x17 and 12x18 color in-house and prints 8,000-22,000 pages a month.
  • You're upgrading from an MP C3500 or MP C4000 in the same chassis and want 5 more ppm without retraining operators.
  • You already run a Ricoh fleet on @Remote and want one more A3 color enterprise device that drops in.
  • You need durable hardware on the cheap — these chassis routinely pass 1M pages with regular PMs and aftermarket parts are everywhere.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 5,000-8,000 pages a month — overbuilt for that volume; the upside is a longer lease amortization and lower failure rate.
  • You need finishing — inner stapler/hole-punch and external 1,000/3,000-sheet booklet finishers bolt on, just plan for the footprint.
  • You're replacing a Canon iR-ADV C5045 or Konica bizhub C452 — operators adapt to the Ricoh panel in 2-3 weeks.
  • You want wireless — Wi-Fi/Bluetooth is an optional accessory, not standard.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print more than 22,000 pages a month — get an MP C5501 or step up to a Pro C series.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning — this is reversing ADF only, so two-sided originals scan at roughly half the rated speed.
  • You need official Ricoh service — this generation is end-of-service; you're on aftermarket techs and parts.
  • You need TLS 1.2+ and modern AD/Kerberos — the 2007 GW controller won't pass a current IT security audit.
  • You print under 4,000 pages a month — too much machine; get a desktop A4 MFP and save the floor space.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio MP C4500 is a 45 ppm A3 color laser MFP from Ricoh's 2007 enterprise color platform — same chassis as the MP C3000, C3500, C4000, and C5000. It prints and copies 45 ppm in both black and color up to 12x18, runs auto duplex standard, ships with a 100-sheet reversing ADF and the 8.5-inch color WVGA touchscreen, and has dual 550-sheet drawers plus a 100-sheet bypass for 1,200 sheets standard, expandable to 3,200 with the optional LCT. The 200,000-page monthly duty cycle puts it in the 8,000-22,000 page/month range for departments of 30-60 people. We still see these in active use at law firms, schools, and county offices that bought them new 2008-2011 — engines commonly past 1M pages with regular PMs. Strengths: durable chassis, predictable parts costs aftermarket, fast first-page-out (3.5s mono / 5.9s color was best-in-class for the era), and high-yield toner (23K mono / 17K color). The thing buyers regret today: end-of-service from Ricoh, the GW controller predates Smart Operation Panel, and security won't pass a current IT audit. For a current equivalent, look at the IM C4500.

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.
