65 ppm A3 enterprise MFP with color/mono spec mismatch in catalog, validate configuration before ordering.
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.
Kyocera's TASKalfa 6500i prints A3 color at 65 ppm in both color and B&W (the catalog entry shows color/B&W parity, although the standard 6500i is normally a B&W-only enterprise MFP — confirm configuration with dealer). Designed for enterprise floors running 30,000 to 70,000 pages a month. Standard duplex print, scan to email/SMB/FTP, optional fax, DF-790 100-sheet stapler with saddle-stitch finishing. Ecosys long-life drum, HyPAS workflow apps. One regret: the spec mismatch between the model number and the color rating in this record is a yellow flag — Kyocera's standard 6500i is mono. If you actually need 65 ppm color, source the 6551ci or current 6054ci instead. For pure mono enterprise workflows at this speed tier, the 6500i with confirmed B&W configuration is solid.

Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for exact pricing.
