SP 150 Printer Review
Expert review of the SP 150 printer
This simple but sleek Ricoh SP 150 is a great choice for casual home users or anyone working from home. Its small footprint means it can fit in just about anywhere, no matter how short you are on space at home or in your home office, yet it’s still efficient, fast and highly functional. The Ricoh SP150 would be a great printer for students or families that want a reliable printer, but don’t regularly print in colour or print out photos.
Design
The Ricoh SP 150’s chic design is one of its best features. Designed in a sleek black and white colourway, when the printer’s paper tray is put away, this machine is so stylish and unobtrusive you might not even guess it’s a printer at first glance. It measures 13.8 x 10.4 x 4.17 inches and weighs 6.5kg, which means it can be easily placed in any office, on a desk or another surface. It also has a 50-sheet input tray.
Advantages
Ricoh SP 150 printers feature a virtual control panel, which means not only is the design of the actual machine so much sleeker and more chic, but that your workflow and productivity is enhanced by being able to control everything right from your desktop. It’s also fast despite its small size, especially for home usage, with print speeds of up to 22ppm, a 25-second warm up speed and 11-second first print page speed. It is compatible with Mac, Linux and Windows operating systems and has a standard print resolution of 1,200dpi.
Disadvantages
It’s a shame that this isn’t a multifunctional printer, considering its price point and the fact that other models currently on the market for a similar price offer all-in-one functionality for home users. If you’re short of space, however, you can’t do much better than a Ricoh SP 150.
