The new gel-based technology used in the Ricoh Aficio GX3000 probably wont revolutionise the printing market, but it merits closer examination. For a start, the much-vaunted speed boost appears to be there. Major technology changes in the printers...

The Ricoh Aficio GX3000 is a photo printer posing as a business model – its aimed at the wrong market. Office users would be well advised to set their sights on a laser printer instead – these have far more reliable paper feed mechanisms, and...

The main problem with shoehorning inkjet printers and all-in-ones into the office environment is the time it takes for the ink to dry. Faster drying ink means higher print speeds, so Ricoh’s Gelsprinter technology that utilises gel-based inks, is desig...
