Colour printer; Internet access: LAN; Gel printer; Multi-cartridge system; Newest review: 8/2012

The Ricoh Aficio SG 3110DNw is definitely cheaper than some alternatives but the reason for this is clear once you use it. It is incredibly slow, especially with the High Quality driver setting. PC

More information at: TrustedReviews, 1/2010 Ricoh Aficio GX e3350N - Inkjet Printer We've looked at a couple of Ricoh's Aficio inkjet printers, which use the company's GelSprinter technology before, in the GX2500 and GX3000s, but although it's an interesting departure from the mainstream of ink squirting printers, the output quality and price of earlier models have detracted from its overall value. Single Test. One printer was reviewed and rated on features, print quality, print speed and value. … to review

Ricoh's printer doesn't quite live up to the lofty claims made by the manufacturer in terms of speed and quality. PC Pro found draft-mode quality to be a little below-average but when set …

Stylus Office B1100 PC Praxis 4/2010 - Brochures, floor plans, posters or luxuriant tables - many people dream of having a printer that can bring such things to paper in a sensible format. ...

A3+ for 240 Euro COLOR FOTO 9/2010 - Epson wants just 240 Euro for an ink-jet printer that can print up to A3+ format. Is the quality good enough for photos?

HP Photosmart Pro B9180 TrustedReviews 1/2007 - HP produces printers for the consumer and professional inkjet markets, but until recently, not much for the semi-professional or sole-trader professional. The Photosmart Pro B9180 fills this gap and also showcases HP’s scaleable print technology, in which it’s placing a lot of faith for future developments.

Epson Stylus Photo R2400 TrustedReviews 5/2006 - Printing anything larger than A4 can cost a lot of money. Large format printers start at around £1,000 and rise steeply from there. There is an intermediary path though. If but don’t need A2 or bigger and only want to go up to A3+ - A3 prints with full bleed then Epson’s Stylus Photo R2400 is a versatile medium format machine. It can handle sheet, roll and thick media of up to 1.3mm, which makes it suitable for small signage.

Epson A3 Printer B1100 GadgetSpeak 5/2011 - I see only a few A3 printers mainly because of size but after the recent offering from Brother this Epson unit was offered, it is bigger (wider) than the Brother and is only a printer and not an All In One but it can print A3+.

Epson Stylus Office B1100 TrustedReviews 9/2010 - Interest in A3 print for business continues to increase. Rumours that HP may be readying an A3 all-in-one to compete with the ones Brother has been selling for a while is also reflected by Epson's move to sell business as well as photo-enthusiast A3 printers. The Stylus Office B1100 can handle paper up to A3+ and offers fast plain paper print, as well as four-colour photos.

Gel Copiers

Gel printers are just as popular as their competitors – inkjet and laser printers – thanks to their low cost of printing and their environmentally-friendly gels. They make up for their somewhat lower printing speeds by producing prints with intense colours that are both light- and wipe-resistant. Most models cost slightly more than average.


Gel printers have been available since 2006 as an alternative to inkjet or laser printers. These 'solid ink printers' use neither toner nor ink but rather liquified gel or wax. This is the biggest advantage of gel printers for environmentally conscious users because the colorstick used is completely non-toxic. Their performance also stands out among competitors. Those who print a lot of documents in a short time period could benefit from a gel printer's relatively cheap cost of printing (around 1.5p per A4 mono print). This makes up for the slower print speeds compared to laser printers. The colour quality of inkjet and laser prints are about the same. They deliver colour fidelity and light-resistance because the printer operates without outside influences. The ink dries immediately leaving prints smudge-proof. Even when using normal copy paper, ink sticks between the paper fibres. The print head of a gel printer is crucially wider than a traditional inkjet printer and provides a resolution of 1,200 dpi. The main disadvantage of gel printers is their high price. Gel printers can cost between 300 and 450 pounds with duplux printing capability.
