Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh IM 8000 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a print room or in-plant operation that needs the second-fastest A3 mono in the IM family.
  • You print 50,000-120,000 pages a month — the IM 8000 is sized for that with the duty cycle (300,000) to back it up.
  • You need full finishing — staple, hole-punch, booklet, trim — on long production runs.
  • You need 8,700-sheet expanded capacity to run multi-day jobs without operator reload.
  • You're under a managed print contract with Ricoh and want production-class capability without paying for the IM 9000's top-end speed.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 30,000-50,000 pages a month — the IM 8000 handles it but the IM 7000 (71 ppm, same chassis) is the more cost-aligned pick at that volume.
  • You want wireless out of the box — Wi-Fi is an optional accessory on this production-class chassis.
  • You're moving up from a Pro 8100 series — operators learn the panel inside three weeks.
  • You need 12x18 SRA3 — supported via the bypass tray for full-bleed letter-size output.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 30,000 pages a month — get the IM 6000 or IM 7000 instead. The IM 8000 is wasted on lower volume.
  • You need color. This is mono only — get the IM C8000 for color production at this speed tier.
  • You don't have a print room or dedicated space — this is 27.2 x 34.8 x 45.7 inches and 441 lb. It is not desktop or even normal floor furniture.
  • You don't have a Ricoh managed print or production contract — production-class consumables and finisher service are not retail-channel items.
  • You print over 150,000 pages a month consistently — step up to the IM 9000.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh IM 8000 is the second-fastest A3 monochrome MFP in the IM 7000/8000/9000 production lineup — built for print rooms and in-plant operations running serious mono volume in-house. It runs at 80 ppm with 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, scans at 240 ipm duplex via the 220-sheet single-pass ADF, and is rated for a 300,000-page monthly duty cycle (realistic comfort zone is 50,000-120,000 pages/month). Standard paper capacity is 1,200 sheets, expandable up to 8,700 with tandem and side LCTs — multi-day jobs run without operator reload. The 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel runs Android-based UI matching the rest of the IM family, which matters when operators move between this and a smaller IM 5000 or IM 6000. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0 standard; Wi-Fi is optional. Same chassis as the IM 7000 and IM 9000 (27.2 x 34.8 x 45.7 inches, 441 lb), same finisher options, just different print engine speeds across the three. The thing buyers regret: ordering the 8000 when they really only need the 7000. The 80 ppm versus 71 ppm difference is real on long jobs but invisible on most office-style mixed workflow. Look at your actual long-run volume before stepping up.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 2 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Ricoh machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "The IM 8000 handles our volume well and the duplex printing is reliable. Setup took longer than expected and the user manual could be clearer, but once it was running it's been pretty dependable."
  • ★ "Running this in our small print shop for about 18 months now. The image quality is consistent, toner costs are reasonable, and the finishing capabilities save us from outsourcing work. Would recommend for anyone in a similar situation."

FAQ

Ricoh IM 8000, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (386) 261-8323 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Ricoh IM 8000 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has a yield of approximately 43,000 pages. The replacement toner model is Ricoh 885400 (or 885273), which also yields around 43,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Ricoh IM 8000 is designed for high-volume print rooms, running at 80 ppm with a monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages, while the IM 2500 is aimed at mid-sized offices with a speed of 25 ppm and a lower monthly volume. The IM 8000 has a larger standard paper capacity (1,200 sheets vs. 1,200 sheets, but expandable to 8,700 vs. 4,700) and is built for heavier workloads. The IM 2500 is more suitable for offices printing 2,500 to 8,000 pages monthly, whereas the IM 8000 is ideal for environments needing 50,000-120,000 pages monthly. For small offices, the IM 2500 offers a better balance of features and cost efficiency.
The Ricoh IM 8000 is built for high-volume environments, with a speed of 80 ppm and a monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages, making it overkill for most small businesses. Its large footprint and high capacity are better suited for print rooms or in-plant operations. Small businesses with lower print volumes may find the IM 2500 or similar models more appropriate.
No, the Ricoh IM 8000 is a monochrome printer and only prints in black and white. For color printing, consider alternatives like the Ricoh IM C3500, Ricoh IM C4500, or Ricoh IM C6000.
