Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Ricoh Mp 5055 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."
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
- It's fine for shared workgroup use.
- It's fine for back-office mixed printing.
- It's fine for low color volume.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
- Skip this if you need 35+ ppm color sustained.
- Skip this if monthly color is above 5,000.
- Skip this if you need 12 x 18 SRA3.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Ricoh MP 5055 runs 30 letter pages per minute mono and 22 ppm color at 1200 x 1200 dpi on stocks to 11 x 17 inches (a hybrid configuration where the 5055 designation reflects the chassis platform rather than throughput). The 9-inch color Smart Operation Panel ships standard, 1,200-sheet base input expandable to 4,700, and SmartSDK app extensibility cover authentication and workflow apps. PostScript 3, PCL5e/PCL6, native PDF, scan-to-folder/email/URL, and auto duplex ship standard. The one regret is the 22 ppm color rating, which is slow for any office that prints color collateral regularly.| Print technology | Multifunction |

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.

Yes, the Ricoh MP 5055 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The standard black toner bottle (Ricoh 841999/842126) yields approximately 37,000 pages at 5-6% coverage. Replacement high-yield toner cartridges are also available with the same yield. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Ricoh MP 5055 is a hybrid monochrome/color printer with a speed of 30 ppm (mono) and 22 ppm (color), while the Ricoh IM 2500 is a monochrome-only printer with a speed of 25 ppm. The MP 5055 includes a 9-inch color Smart Operation Panel and supports color printing, whereas the IM 2500 has a 10.1-inch panel and focuses on high-speed monochrome output with a faster first-page-out time of 4.1 seconds.

For small offices needing color, the MP 5055 is a better fit, while the IM 2500 is ideal for high-volume monochrome printing.
The Ricoh MP 5055 is suitable for small businesses with its 30 ppm monochrome and 22 ppm color printing speeds, expandable paper capacity up to 4,700 sheets, and features like auto duplex and scan-to-folder/email. However, its color printing speed may be slow for businesses that frequently print color collateral.
Yes, the Ricoh MP 5055 supports color printing at 22 ppm. However, if you need faster color output, consider alternatives like the Ricoh MP C3004, Ricoh MP C4504, or Ricoh MP C6004.
