Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP 5000 Wide Format Printer is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • Pick this if your shop runs 3,000-6,000 D-size sheets monthly and the 3000-series wears out too fast.
  • Pick this if you need a heavier paper path and longer service intervals than entry-level units.
  • Pick this if dual rolls and an integrated stacker matter for unattended plotting.
  • Pick this if you want 600 x 2400 enhanced resolution for tighter linework.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine for established AEC firms with 10-30 designers sharing one device.
  • It's fine if you do mixed plot, copy, and scan duty in a single unit.
  • It's fine for repro shops handling steady walk-in jobs.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you wanted a real speed jump over the 3100 — it's still 6 ppm.
  • Skip this if you need color plotting.
  • Skip this if your shop is already pushing 6,000+ D-size sheets monthly.
  • Skip this if your install location can't handle the larger 60-inch footprint with stacker.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP 5000 steps up to a true mid-volume 36-inch monochrome plotter at 6 D-size prints per minute, 600 x 2400 dpi enhanced resolution on the LED dry-toner engine, and a heavier-duty paper path designed for shops doing 3,000-6,000 D-size sheets a month. It's the go-to for established architectural and engineering firms, civil engineering departments, and mid-size repro shops that do real volume but don't need a 7000-class production unit. You get dual rolls standard, an integrated stacker option, KIP PrintNet job management, full Postscript 3 / HPGL/2 / PDF / TIFF / JPG support, and a sturdier media handling system than the 3000 family. The 5000 also tolerates higher daily duty cycles without throwing service codes. Footprint is larger — closer to 60 inches wide with the stacker — and weight goes up too, so plan the install. Honest regret: at 6 ppm the 5000 isn't dramatically faster than a 3100, and many buyers wish they'd jumped straight to the 8 ppm 5200 for not much more money. If your volume is solidly over 4,000 sheets monthly, look at the 5200 first.

FAQ

KIP 5000 Wide Format Printer, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the KIP 5000 Wide Format Printer ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically includes four 450g cartridges with a high yield, rated for 100% efficiency. Replacement toner is available in the same 4 x 450g cartridge packs (model SUP5000-103). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The KIP 5000 is a mid-volume 36-inch monochrome plotter with a speed of 6 D-size prints per minute, dual rolls standard, and a heavier-duty paper path designed for 3,000–6,000 D-size sheets monthly. In contrast, the KIP 7170 is a 1-roll MFP system with a slower speed of 4 D-size ppm and a single roll (500 ft), making it better suited for smaller offices with lower volume needs. The KIP 5000 also includes an integrated stacker option and KIP PrintNet job management, while the KIP 7170 features a 12.1-inch touchscreen and KIP System K. For small offices with lower print volumes, the KIP 7170 may be more cost-effective, but the KIP 5000 is ideal for established firms needing higher productivity.
The KIP 5000 Wide Format Printer is designed for mid-volume use, handling 3,000–6,000 D-size sheets monthly at 6 ppm, making it suitable for established small businesses with consistent high-volume needs. However, its larger footprint and higher duty cycle may be excessive for very small businesses with lower print volumes. If your business requires a more compact or lower-volume solution, consider stepping up to a commercial option better suited for smaller offices.
No, the KIP 5000 Wide Format Printer is a monochrome-only printer designed for high-volume black-and-white printing. If you need color capabilities, consider alternatives such as the KIP 7900 Series or other wide-format color printers like the HP DesignJet T830 or Canon imagePROGRAF TA-30.
