Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 4500i 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...

  • You run a high-volume B&W shop (legal, accounting, education) printing 50,000+ pages a month.
  • You want long-life consumables and lower cost-per-page than typical 45 ppm machines.
  • You need color scan-to-email even though all output is black.
  • You want to expand to 7,150 sheets so refilling becomes a once-a-week chore.
  • You'll add the 175-sheet DSDP for daily scan-heavy workflows.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you scan in color sometimes but print black-only.
  • It's fine if you start with the 100-sheet RADP and upgrade later.
  • It's fine if you only use one cassette and never spec the side decks.
  • It's fine if your fonts are sans-serif and 600 dpi is plenty.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need any color print output (this is mono only).
  • Skip this if you want native 1200 dpi for fine line work.
  • Skip this if your office is under 5,000 pages a month, it's overbuilt.
  • Skip this if you don't have floor space for a workgroup MFP plus cassettes.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Copystar CS 4500i is a 45 ppm black-and-white MFP built around Kyocera's long-life drum and developer architecture. Toner yield is roughly 35,000 pages at 5% coverage so you're not changing cartridges every other week. Resolution is native 600 x 600 dpi, interpolated to 9600 x 600 dpi for crisper text on serif fonts. Two 500-sheet cassettes ship standard, expandable to 7,150 sheets total with side decks, plus the optional 150-sheet MPT. Document feeder options are the 100-sheet RADP or 175-sheet DSDP; the DSDP is what you want if scanning is part of the job. Note the catalog says "Color" because it can scan in color, but it prints black only. The regret: at 45 ppm the engine is fast for B&W, but if you print spreadsheets the 600 dpi native resolution renders thin gridlines slightly soft compared to 1200 dpi engines.
