Xerox WorkCentre 7120 vs. Ricoh Aficio MP C2050 9
Environmental
considerations
Comparing
image quality
“The WorkCentre 7120 complies with numerous standards includ-
ing RoHS, WEEE, Blue Angel and Eco Canada, and is ENERGY STAR-
qualified…the device is Xerox’s quietest workgroup color MFP and its
LED-based scanner and lower toner fusing temperature contribute to
lower-than-average energy consumption and quiet operation.”

* BLI measured color fidelity of a copy to its original (using a KATUN test original containing
blocks of all solid colors; tested in walk-up mode using the machine default settings in “Full
color” mode and auto exposure settings); average of two readings for each color. The closer
the number is to 0, the closer the copy’s color fidelity is to the test original (based on the
average of two spectrophotometer readings for each color).
Measured color copy density (based on average of two readings):
In BLI laboratory tests, measured color print density for the WorkCentre
7120 was higher than that of the Aficio MP C2050 in all colors tested.
