Refreshed 65 ppm A3 enterprise color MFP with 240 ipm scan and improved color consistency for 40K to 90K pages.
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 6551ci prints A3 color at 65 ppm in both color and B&W and is the refresh of the 6550ci with updated controller hardware and improved color consistency. Designed for enterprise floors and departments running 40,000 to 90,000 pages a month with mixed output. Standard duplex print, dual-scan ADF runs at about 240 ipm for fast two-sided scanning, optional DF-7110 100-sheet stapler with saddle-stitch finishing. HyPAS workflow apps and Ecosys long-life drum keep cost-per-page competitive. One regret: at 65 ppm color and B&W, the 6551ci is the same engine speed as the older 6550ci — what you are paying for is the controller refresh, faster scan throughput, and improved color consistency. If your team mostly prints (not scans) and color consistency is not a tight specification, the older 6550ci at refurbished pricing gives you the same throughput for less money.

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.
