If the "customer" needs to print high quality colour documents, they should not have been sold an MPC2050. They aren't built for it.

I don't really get the question but I agree that this machine isn't made for high quality printouts since it's officially located somewhere at the low end/mid end product range.

I know this machine only office use color mfp. (Basic color) But Ricoh don't produce the professional color machine. I analyzed the all machine. But they don't compares to other brands color machine (Xerox, Canon) these brands has very big quality for color print.

Are you trying to change the quaility from the print driver? Which OS are you using?

No production colour indeed? ProC series? lol

What I think tulipano's trying to say is photos and text printed from PC's isn't what it should be. As andym said, have a fiddle with the quality settings in the printer driver. Might also be the quality settings in whatever application you're using too.

il sistema operativo e' xp

I've had varying levels of success just by printing from different applications. So try more than one application and picture format and see what you get.

you can buy Post Script3 Unit Type C2050 for more quality but you know this machine for office print res. is 600 DPİ

I don't believe the postscript will help improve print quality whatsoever. It only helps when using software that requires it, nothing more.

Although you can try switching between PCL and RPCS along with different software as I stated above and check your results.

Unfortunately a ProC is quite an overkill for most quality demanding customers (architects, advertising agencys). I think those machines needs quite some volume to run within efficient costs. TBH I think the quality of a ProC isn't that outstanding (of course it's also not bad at all) - I haven't tested the machine by myself but I saw some test printouts. The combination of high speed and high quality isn't really a good partnership imho.

Meh, mebbe. We've only got two in the wild on our patch, thankfully I only see one on a regular basis. Either way, MPC2050's won't do good colour reliably

Nah, if the customer needs just a few printouts with (very)good quality I'd recommend a professional Inkjet - maybe a HP designjet

Hi all,

Overhere in the Netherlands we have a custom colorprofile for this machine.
Photo's are printed much more realistic compared with standard profile.
I do not have it but maybe when you search Tessa it might come up.
Otherwise consult our headquarters.

Ok I'm going to wade in on this one. I'm probably asking for trouble, but here goes.

In the 'print preferances' on Win:XP make sure the 'imaging' settings are set to 'high quaility' not 'proof'.

If the customer is using Windows image and fax viewer make sure they select 'photo quaility' as it should default to 'fax' quaililty.

At the risk of stateing the obvious. Have you manually run 'Music' and 'Force Line Position Adjust'? To ensure that the device is outputting the highest quaility it possibly can.
