Ricoh is known for producing large printing solutions for corporate and multinational companies. In recent years, the company is also venturing towards catering the needs of the growing SOHO (Small Office, Home Office) market segment in Malaysia. There had been numerous releases by Ricoh in the past trying to capture market opportunities, but it would seem that the company had a challenge in keeping the momentum going, which eventually resulted in lost of mind share not long after.

The brand has launched a brand new print solution that boasts of being the slimmest in its class. ith its latest foray, let’s hope this time around Ricoh makes a comeback in its respective market segments.

The MP305+SPF Multi Function Printer is a desktop-sized hybrid black and white multi-function printer that comes with A3 capabilities. At just 350mm wide and 460mm deep makes this printer the slimmest in its class. It is able to copy, print, scan and fax, and it is the most silent among its brethren.

“What truly sets the MP305+SPF apart from other printers that it perfectly synergises functionality, efficiency and space saving features, making it the ideal and affordable solution for small office spaces or even homes,” said Nick Tan, General Manager of Marketing for Ricoh Malaysia

It features a Smart Operation Panel. When paired with the Ricoh Smart Device Connector, users can carry out a wide range of tasks directly from their smart device. They can submit documents for printing, even via WiFi or Bluetooth; scan copies of documents directly to their smart device or mailbox and send faxes. Users can even utilise the address book in their smart device to send copies of documents and fax messages directly to contacts.

“This is what we are all about at Ricoh, not so much delivering the latest technology, which we do, but looking at the bigger picture, we’re more about providing solutions that change and improve the way business is done,” said Tan.
