GX5050N
Three revolutionary hybrid printers that combine the
ease and convenience of inkjet color with the economy,
speed, and reliability of desktop laser systems

Rewriting the rules of inkjet printing
The Lanier GX5050N features
an optional 500-sheet paper feed
unit that minimizes reloading.
End-users in virtually every industry understand the give-and-take
of conventional inkjet printers. The devices have a low purchase price
and are easy to use, but the supplies can be costly and the color is
merely adequate.
The Lanier GX3000/3050N/5050N GelSprinter
TM
printers completely
transform this traditional dynamic. Bringing together the best qualities
of inkjet and laser printers, these innovative systems enable you to
acquire high-quality color for an extremely affordable price, without
sacrificing reliability or convenience.The GX3000 delivers up to 29 fullcolor or monochrome pages per minute in stand-alone configurations.
The GX3050N provides the same output speed for network printing
in small workgroups. The GX5050N is also network-ready, prints up
to 30 pages per minute, features a 33% higher duty cycle, and offers
an optional high-capacity paper tray and high-yield gel ink cartridges.
All three printers incorporate exclusive GelSprinter
TM
technology,
which combines a viscous ink formulation, belt-driven paper feeding,
and a long-lasting printhead design. Together, these features
eliminate smudging, curling, and other maintenance issues typically
associated with inkjet color output. More importantly, this technology
delivers color quality comparable to color laser output and is ideal
for a wide range of low-volume applications.
Laser-like color quality
Unlike inkjet printers, Lanier printers with GelSprinter
TM
technology
use pigment-based inks suspended in a viscous gel that bonds with
the page like toner, allowing the ink to sit up on the page. This
formulation minimizes dot spreading, sharpens color images, and
prevents bleed-through on plain paper. The gel dries immediately
upon contact with air to eliminate smudging. GelSprinter
TM
ink does
not run if it gets wet, and resists fading after prolonged sunlight
exposure. All of which allows GelSprinter
TM
printers to deliver vivid,
laser-like image quality for full-color and monochrome documents.
Exceptionally durable printhead
All three of these business-class printers use a unique, piezoelectric printhead that is considerably wider than conventional
inkjet printheads. Each printhead can print two lines simultaneously,
so it can print each page faster. These printheads also offer much
higher reliability.They can easily handle the viscous gel ink without
clogging, and they last for the entire life of the printer and never
need to be replaced. These printheads also use M-Dot technology
to manipulate dot size to achieve a maximum resolution equivalent
of 3,600 x 1,200 dpi.

About Lanier
Lanier Worldwide, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ricoh
Corporation, the Americas sales and marketing unit of Ricoh
Company, Ltd., a $17.1 billion global manufacturer of digital

document workflow.Award-winning solutions include digital
multifunction products (color and monochrome), printers (color and
monochrome), multifunction facsimile, scanners, digital duplicators,
and wide format systems, as well as facilities management and
outsourcing services.
Belt-driven paper feeding system
To achieve high-speed duplex printing, the GX3000/3050N/5050N
printers incorporate a unique belt-driven paper feeding mechanism.
The belt transfer system uses static electricity to hold each sheet
in place with end-to-end support. This reduces curling and rippling,
which minimizes the risk of paper jams. Because there are no pinch
rollers grabbing the edge of each sheet, you can take advantage of
Unique GelSprinter
TM
technology enables the
GX3000/3050N/5050N
printers to deliver laser-
like quality for a very
low cost per page.
a wider printable area as well as many more media choices, such as
card stock and envelopes. The belt-driven system also maintains a
uniform distance between the paper and the printhead for precise
dot positioning and registration.
Low total cost of ownership
Like inkjet printers, the GX3000/3050N/5050N printers cost less to
acquire than a low-volume desktop laser printer. Where these printers
deliver the greatest value, however, is cost per page. For full-color and
monochrome output, the GX3000/3050N/5050N achieve a cost per
page that is comparable to laser printers and dramatically lower than
normal inkjet printers. To further reduce your total cost of ownership,
these systems offer higher duty cycles, from 150,000 to 200,000
sheets. Plus, you never have to replace the printhead. The GX5050N
also offers high-yield gel ink cartridges with more than twice the
capacity of cartridges for the GX3000 and GX3050N.
