Ricoh IM C Series: Setting the Standard for Print Productivity, Recognized at DataMaster Digital Imaging Awards 2025
We are thrilled to announce that the Ricoh IM C series of colored multifunction printers (MFPs) has been honored with the prestigious “Best Print Productivity, A3 MFPs” award at the DataMaster Digital Imaging Awards 2025. This significant accolade from DataMaster, a leading independent testing authority in the imaging industry, underscores Ricoh’s unwavering commitment to delivering cutting-edge, high-performance solutions for the modern workplace.
The award specifically recognizes the exceptional performance of a wide range of devices within the Ricoh IM C series, including the IM C2010, IM C2010AEX, IM C2510, IM C3010, IM C3510, IM C3010EX, IM C3510EX, IM C4510, IM C6010, and IM C7010. These models collectively represent the pinnacle of productivity and efficiency for today’s fast-paced office environments.
What Makes the Ricoh IM C Series Stand Out?
DataMaster’s rigorous lab evaluations highlighted several best-in-class features that propelled the Ricoh IM C series to the top:
- Superior Duplex Performance: The IM C series printers demonstrated a remarkable ability to print faster on both sides of a sheet – even in A3 size – than on a single side. This efficiency is a game-changer for businesses aiming to reduce paper consumption and accelerate document processing.
- Advanced Multitasking Capabilities: In DataMaster’s demanding “busy office” tests, Ricoh MFPs proved their exceptional multitasking prowess. They flawlessly handled up to 15 incoming print jobs simultaneously, processing print, and scan tasks at full speed without any slowdown during image processing. This seamless operation ensures continuous workflow, even in high-demand scenarios.
- Uninterrupted Job Handling: The IM C series allows walk-up users to execute complex scan jobs while printing continues uninterrupted in the background. This intelligent design prevents workflow bottlenecks and keeps your office running smoothly.
- Continuous Printing with Smart Paper Source Switching: Powered by Ricoh’s rapid induction fuser technology and precision design, these devices enable continuous printing with intelligent paper source switching, minimizing downtime and maximizing output.
- Intelligent Queue Management: The intelligent queue management system built into the IM C series effectively prevents print job blockages, ensuring that office workflows remain fluid and efficient. As Edward Bilson, Technical Director of DataMaster, noted, “The only range that has ever achieved 100% success in our demanding productivity evaluations is the Ricoh IM C series.”
