Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 4052ci 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 you print 5,000-15,000 color A3/A4 pages a month for a 15-40 person office.
Pick this if a-Si drum technology and 600K-cycle drum life appeal to your service economics.
Pick this if 7,150-sheet input expansion would let you skip weekly refills.
Pick this if you need A3 / SRA3 color output regularly, not just occasionally.
Pick this if optional HDD encryption and 802.1X are procurement requirements.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
It's fine if your real volume is 3,000-5,000 pages — you have growth room.
It's fine if A3 is occasional and you mostly print A4.
It's fine if you connect via wired Ethernet primarily.
It's fine if optional finishing stays optional rather than required.
It's fine if 40 ppm color is enough and you don't need 50+.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
Skip this if you push 18,000+ color pages a month — get the 5052ci or 6052ci.
Skip this if you only need A4 — the 406ci saves money.
Skip this if you only print mono — the 4002i is cheaper to own.
Skip this if your monthly volume is under 2,500 pages — overbuilt.
Skip this if you need inline booklet-making standard.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Kyocera TASKalfa 4052ci is the color twin of the 4002i: 40 ppm in both color and mono on A4, 25 ppm A3, 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, 9-inch color touchscreen, integrated duplex, a-Si drum technology rated for 600,000 print cycles, and standard input expandable to 7,150 sheets across cassettes that handle SRA3. Optional finisher adds stapling. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, with secure local/network authentication and optional HDD encryption. The honest catch: at 40 ppm color, this is workgroup-class but not production — if you push 20,000+ color pages a month, the 6052ci or 7052ci is built for it. And if you don't actually need A3 color, the 406ci (A4 only) saves real money. Best fit: 15-40 person offices doing 5,000-15,000 pages a month with a mix of A4 and A3.
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.
