Ricoh Aficio MP1350
Text: Fonts were well reproduced down to 4 point. Fine lines were also
reproduced well down to a reasonable level for most users.
Text/Photo: Fonts and fine lines were reproduced very well
Photo: These are some of the best text and fine line reproductions BERTL
analysts have seen to date with crisp lines down to very fine details and
none of the breaking up that is commonly seen in Photo mode on compet-
ing units. Only the very finest fine line patterns started to break up a little
and then only to the trained eye.
Image Quality
The image quality from the Ricoh Aficio MP1350 was to a
high standard across a wide range of document types
using Text, Text/Photo, and Photo modes.
This is in part due to the 4-bit CCD scanning technology
in the color scanning enabled document feeder. This
allows a better quality data capture than devices that are
monochrome data capture restricted.
The most striking difference was in the Photo mode. This
is normally an algorithm limited to half tone photographic
reproduction with fine lines, text, and printed images
suffering from poor reproduction due to the halftone
screen data capture employed.
As the images and discussion highlight, the output from
the Ricoh Aficio MP1350 in Photo mode was to a good
standard across all document types and as expected
surpassed other copy scanning algorithms when
processing photographs.
Such is the quality of the Photo mode output that BERTL
would recommend as the Default mode in environments
where photographic reproduction plays a major part,
resulting in more one-touch, walk-up workflow.
