Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh MP C306 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 4-10 person office printing 1,500-3,500 monthly pages.
  • You want 31 ppm in color and black on a compact desktop footprint.
  • You can locate the printer 15+ feet from desks or behind a partition.
  • You need print, copy, scan, and fax in one device.
  • You want full wireless connectivity for laptops and phones.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your color volume is moderate and B&W dominates daily.
  • It's fine if you need basic scan-to-email and folder workflows.
  • It's fine if you mostly print letter and legal with occasional envelopes.
  • It's fine if you'll grow modestly over the next two years.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you can't locate the printer away from the open work area.
  • Skip this if you print over 5,000 pages a month consistently.
  • Skip this if you need built-in stapling or booklet finishing.
  • Skip this if you need 11x17 as a daily paper size.
  • Skip this if you need photo-grade color for client-facing deliverables.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh MP C306 is the desktop color MFP that replaced the C305, hitting 31 pages per minute in color and black with a footprint small enough for a low cabinet or sturdy desk. Sized for small offices doing 1,500-3,500 pages a month with print, copy, scan, and fax bundled in. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, and Bluetooth, and the touchscreen interface handles workflow setup more cleanly than the older C305's controls. Auto duplex is standard. The regret: the desktop form factor is tempting, but a few buyers underestimated how loud color laser MFPs are at this duty cycle. The fans, drum motors, and finishing mechanisms all add up to a noise level that's distracting in open seating. If your office has open seating or shared workstations within 10 feet, locating it 15+ feet from desks matters more than people expect. A small alcove, a closet with proper ventilation, or the corner of a copy room all work better than dropping it onto an empty desk. Plan placement before delivery, not after staff complaints.

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.
