Green toner offers a rainbow of benefits Tin free, low temperature fixing eco-toner improves quality while reducing environmental impact Ricoh’s production development policy is to create products that have minimal environmental impact throughout their lifecycles. Our new colour PxP toner (a polymerized toner), made from newly developed polyester resin, is designed to fuse at a temperature 20 degrees Celsius lower than its predecessor, while achieving higher picture quality with fine and uniform particles. This lower fusing temperature means the multifunctional consumes less energy when in use. Another environmentally friendly feature of this new toner is the higher recyclability of wastewater and solvent enabled by its resource-saving production process.
But the benefits of the toner go beyond providing a smaller carbon footprint: you also get better quality print-outs. The toner’s polyester resin offers a more uniform particle size, which means colour printing quality is improved by enabling a more even coverage compared to traditional toner. Plus, you can now print on a wider range of media (transparencies, envelopes, etc) as well as thicker paper.
The new colour PxP toner was first introduced in the high speed colour MP C7500/C6000 series launched in February 2008 in Australia. It has since been rolled out across the colour range and is now used in the following colour multifunctionals:
» Aficio MP C2030/C2530
