The MP 6055 Series continue Ricoh’s tradition of providing strong features for larger companies that require a multifunctional device but not color output.

Shortcomings
While Ricoh offers a standard PostScript emulation, the Adobe PostScript 3 version is only available as an option.
Also, there is no color printing or copying. Larger companies that require this feature can look at our other Ricoh reviews, such as the MP C6004 Series.
