Visioneer PH70
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Ricoh fi-8170 is a professional-grade color duplex scanner delivering 70 ppm simplex and 140 ipm duplex speeds with a 100-sheet ADF and network connectivity. Its lack of wireless options and a fixed 600 dpi optical resolution limit flexibility for some users. Best suited for high-volume office environments that need reliable, fast scanning and wired network integration.
The Visioneer PH70 is a high-speed duplex sheet-fed scanner excelling at bulk photo and document digitization with 600 dpi optics and a 120-sheet ADF. Its large footprint, Windows-only software and variable duty-cycle claims limit suitability for smaller or cross-platform offices. Ideal for high-volume environments that need fast photo throughput and long-document handling.
