Why Choose the Ricoh Priport DX 2430?
1. Unbeatable High-Speed ProductionThe DX 2430 is built for velocity. Capable of printing up to 90 ppm, it can complete a 500-page print run in under six minutes. This makes it the primary choice for Nairobi’s schools and religious organizations that need to produce high volumes of materials such as weekly bulletins or term-end exams on short notice.
2. Exemplary Low Printing Costs Unlike standard laser copiers, the cost-per-page on a duplicator decreases as the volume increases. Because the DX 2430 uses a master-making process (creating a single stencil for a run), the more copies you print from a single master, the cheaper each page becomes. This is the most economical way to print thousands of copies in the Kenyan market.
3. Versatile "No-Heat" PrintingThe DX 2430 uses a cold printing process, which means it doesn't require a fuser. This not only results in significantly lower power consumption—helping businesses in Kenya save on energy bills—but also allows it to handle a wide range of paper weights (from 35 to 128 gsm) without the risk of curling or paper jams.
4. Spot Color Printing While the standard output is black, the DX 2430 can easily add professional flair to your documents. By simply swapping the color drum unit, you can print in red, blue, green, and other spot colors. This is ideal for organizations looking to create eye-catching flyers or letterheads without the high cost of full-color laser printing.
5. Direct PC ConnectionBy adding the optional PC Controller, the DX 2430 transforms from a standalone copier into a high-speed network printer. This allows you to send documents directly from your computer, ensuring the highest possible image quality (300 dpi) by bypassing the scanning stage.
Perfect For
Schools, colleges, churches, government administrative offices, and commercial print shops in Kenya that require massive volumes of monochrome or spot-color prints at the lowest possible cost.
Designed For
The Ricoh Priport DX 2430 is the "High-Volume Economy Champion" for Kenya’s institutional sector. It is designed for those whose daily output is measured in thousands rather than hundreds. It thrives in high-pressure environments that demand simplicity, speed, and a robust mechanical design that can handle a 300,000-page monthly workload.
