    is there anything better in a mpc3502 vs earlier series?

    gd morning.
    i have a pending sale with the midrange lease returns ricoh 30 to 45 cpm color machines.
    i sold a bunch of mpc2800,3300,3001 and 3501s but low meter return units are dried up.
    so i am looking the 02 series but dont know if its equal or better or worse.
    for running 85% black only how does it hold up.
    thnx in advance

    Hi there!
    Remove metal-pins for colour-drums, so you can use the black B224...drum. Newest version of sleeve-roller, and take care the customer has a good paper.
    Our rebuild 02´s are running really good.
    Greetings...

    what would you say black copies max monthly volume,if the machine less than 100k i can assume the sleeve roller is original
    or was this a modification in field?
    i use to sell only finch paper but stopped selling paper many years ago..
    is hammermill or staples bond any good?
    appreciate your insight..

    Hi there!
    Ricoh modified the sleeve-roller, the last no is D1444273. Paper?, i´m in Germany, don´t know what paper exists in the US. But a good paper is "Double A", which exist´s world-wide.
    Greetings...

    Can you explain more about this? I never heard of any mods for color drums on the 02 series.

    Have a read, this doc may explain better.

    Basically you can use the cheaper D0292256 for all for drums (with a simple modification to machine & the PCU)

    Use the B2242042 drum, much cheaper and perform well.

    Very nice. The last version of this cheat sheet that I saw (about 4 years ago) didn't have those additional pictures showing the mods for the 02 drums. Thanks!
