Ricoh CL7200 ink refill

[CNN_news]

Has anyone seen a refill kit and/or ink for a Ricoh CL7200/CL7300
series color laser printer?
Is there any way to purchase bulk ink for this printer?

Thanks,
NK

That's quite a new machine isn't it? Do supplies for the AP3800c fit? I
think the CL7000 series are based on it.

The CL7000 has the following equivalent machines Savin CLP 28, Nashuatec
DSC 38 U, Gestetner DSC 38 U, Gestetner DSC 38 US, Lanier Worldwide LP
138 c. Although I don't think there are any equivalent for the 7200
(yet).

The toner for the machine should do several thousand pages a go, so how
much printing are you doing?

I'm realizing that these printers share a lot of parts.

I'm trying to use it to do some semi-commercial printing and trying to
save some money by avoiding going to a commercial printer untill it is
more successful.

I was estimating about 45k to 90k pages per month. Technically it
shoudl handle it but buying cheaper tomer could save a lot.

Thanks.

Even though that's less than official duty cycle, I would have thought
that's quite a lot for one of those machine. Some of the Aficio
copier/printers are also based on the same machine. I believe the
CL7000/7100 use the same toner as the AP3800c (according to
www.precisionroller.com) so presumably the CL7200 does as well.
Therefore you will probably find toner for the AP3800c as that's been
around a few years now. There's currently a complete set on ebay for
$315
