See Quality Everyday

The Ricoh Priport DX 4542 incorporates technology designed to deliver
outstanding reproduction…
• Create documents that look professional with smooth, solid images,

clear grayscales and consistent halftones; the Priport DX 4542
incorporates advanced ink control technology that distributes High
Density Ink with precision and control.

• Further enhance image quality with the Priport DX4542’s Print Pressure

Sensors, which automatically adjust for speed, temperature and
humidity—key factors affecting print output.

• Fine-tune documents—whether they’re text, a combination of text and

photos, or handwritten originals–via User-selectable Imaging Modes.

Save Money Everyday

For short–to medium-run jobs—such as newsletters, church bulletins or
permission slips—nothing beats the Ricoh Priport DX 4542. In fact, for
jobs between 30 and 4,000 copies, the Priport DX 4542 costs less per
print than laser printers or copiers.

• Reduce ink consumption while increasing ink yield per cartridge with 

a sophisticated ink control system that efficiently manages ink delivery.

• Enjoy significantly diminished per-page costs thanks to print masters 

that yield a generous 4,000 prints—double the capacity of competitive
digital duplicators.

• Virtually eliminate costly and time-consuming misfeeds with the Priport

DX 4542’s proven, field and marketplace-tested Retry Paper Misfeed
System. This system also allows organizations on a tight budget to use
less costly paper stock that is sometimes prone to misfeeds. 

• Keep more work in-house and reduce expensive outsourcing when you

use the Priport DX 4542.

Increase Productivity Everyday

The Ricoh Priport DX 4542 works hard to make your life easier.

• A simplified 4-line LCD Control Panel that mimics a typical copier control

panel, which means everyone in your organization will quickly learn how
to operate the system. 

• Connect directly to a workstation—via the optional VC-20 embedded

PC controller.

• Easily add colorful graphics, headlines and borders with a simple 

change of print cylinders. Colors are limited only by your imagination.
