By Copier Liquidation Center · Updated October 5, 2026. We sell used Ricoh copiers, including Ricoh-built Savin and Lanier machines. This is our buying advice as a Ricoh-focused seller.
If you are comparing Canon or Sharp color copiers, include a tested used Ricoh in the same equipment class. Our Ricoh IM C4500 is one option for offices producing proposals, property flyers and everyday color documents. The best choice depends on the particular machine, configuration and purchase terms.
The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C5840i, Sharp BP-70C45 and Ricoh IM C4500 are examples of color office machines worth comparing when a compact letter/legal machine is too limiting. They are not identical generations or configurations.
| Model | Manufacturer-rated output | How to use the comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Ricoh IM C4500 | Up to 45 ppm | Our used listing: $3,250 as of October 5, 2026 |
| Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C5840i | Up to 40 ppm on A4 | Request a quote for the exact used unit and options |
| Sharp BP-70C45 | Up to 45 ppm on letter | Request a quote for the exact used unit and options |
Paper size and test conditions differ between manufacturer ratings. These figures identify the output class; they do not establish which machine finishes your actual job first. We do not sell Canon or Sharp machines.
Start with your busiest routine job. An office printing short proposals may care more about the first page and convenient scanning than continuous output speed. An office producing long report sets may benefit more from speed and finishing. Time a representative file, including duplexing and stapling, if those are part of your work.
If you mainly print letter and legal documents, compare a smaller machine before paying for larger-format capability. See our A4-versus-A3 guide. If you need 11x17, include that requirement in every quote.
Ask each seller to demonstrate a multi-page scan to your intended destination. Specify whether you need searchable PDFs, two-sided scanning, user authentication or a document-management connection. An available feature may require an option or license; a brochure does not show what is installed on a particular used machine.
For a Ricoh quote, describe the workflow rather than simply requesting “scan to email.” That lets us discuss the machine and setup requirements before delivery. Your IT provider should confirm compatibility with your current network and email settings.
Check the actual feeder, input trays and finisher. Sharp's BP-70C45 specification sheet, for example, lists a 300-sheet document feeder in the base configuration. That may matter for large scanning batches. It does not decide whether a used unit is a better purchase for an office scanning short sets.
List the finishing tasks you use: corner staples, hole punches or folded booklets. Ask for the exact accessories and confirm they are included in the delivered price. Ricoh and Sharp finishers are not interchangeable simply because both perform stapling.
You can evaluate current Ricoh color inventory, request the meter reading and specify the accessories before buying outright. Our focus is on helping you match a tested used machine to the job. For a smaller budget, compare the used color options under $2,000 as well.
If a Canon or Sharp already integrates with your office and comes with a stronger local support offer, include that value. We recommend Ricoh when the specific machine and complete quote make sense for your workload, not because every alternative has the same weaknesses.
Use our used copier brand comparison checklist to keep the quotes consistent.
