Comments:
Color print quality is tested using the ANSI standard IT8 Color
Test Target with print samples taken at the beginning, mid-
point and end of test period. Samples are also taken when
any major component on the device is changed. The ANSI IT8
Color Test Target is read using the Minolta CM503I Spectropho-
tometer and samples are analyzed using the CIE XY Chroma-
ticity Diagram. The Ricoh Aficio SP C811DN-DL uses an internal
automatic color calibration, as well as a manual color calibra-
tion procedure.
The SP C811DN-DL produced a large gamut for a laser-
based color printer. The size of the gamut did not show any
noticeable change over the test period and color production
remained very consistent. A group of test images printed at
the beginning of the test period did not display any noticeable
changes from the same group of images printed at the end of
the test period.
The SP C811DN-DL produced bright colors that were not overly
saturated, resulting in vibrant and eye-catching colors in
charts and graphs, though some of the finer details were lack-
ing. Photographic images were characterized by natural-look-
ing colors, though skin tones had a slight reddish undertone.
As such, the unit should meet the needs of any general office
color user.
