The design, although functional, receives a score of 75 due to its weight, while the value for money is competitive with a score of 80. The printing features are impressive, reaching a score of 85, and paper handling is rated at 70, highlighting the variety of accepted media, although the limited output capacity is a point to consider. Finally, the documentation, while comprehensive, could be improved for better accessibility of information, with a score of 75. In summary, the Ricoh Aficio GX5050N is a high-performing printer, especially for professional users, but it has some limitations that should be taken into account before purchase.
