Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci 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 workgroup or department of 15-50 people that needs in-house tabloid (11x17/SRA3) color output.
  • You print 4,000-12,000 pages a month — the 100,000-page duty cycle gives you real headroom without a floor-shaking enterprise unit.
  • You scan stacks of mixed contracts, drawings, or invoices and want the optional 140-sheet dual-scan DADF for 48 ipm throughput.
  • You already run a Kyocera fleet or use HyPAS apps (KYOcapture, Equitrac, PaperCut) and want this device on the same MFP toolchain.
  • You need a 9-inch color touchscreen and customizable workflow buttons so non-technical staff can run scan-to-folder jobs without training.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 2,000-4,000 pages a month — the chassis is overbuilt for that, but the per-page cost on Kyocera's long-life amorphous silicon drum is hard to beat.
  • You want Wi-Fi but didn't budget for it — the IB-36 or IB-51 wireless card is an aftermarket add at roughly $200-300.
  • You need finishing (staple, hole-punch, booklet) — the inner finishers and 4,000-sheet stacker bolt on, but plan for the footprint and the extra invoice line.
  • You're replacing a Ricoh or Canon A3 MFP — operators adapt to the Kyocera UI in a couple of weeks, but the menu structure is different enough to slow people down at first.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 1,000 pages a month — you're paying for a 25-ppm A3 color MFP and using maybe 5% of it. Get a desktop A4 MFP instead.
  • You need 35+ ppm — this is the entry of the 2552ci/3252ci/4052ci/5052ci/6052ci family; bump up to the 3252ci (32 ppm) or 4052ci (40 ppm) if speed matters.
  • You don't have a Kyocera dealer relationship — toner and the FK-8345 fuser are sold mostly through dealer channels, and self-service support is thin.
  • This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the TASKalfa 2553ci (same chassis, 10.1" display, refreshed firmware). If you're buying new, get the 2553ci instead.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning standard — the dual-scan DADF (DP-7100) is a paid option; the base configuration ships with a flatbed only.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci is an A3 color laser multifunction built for mid-size workgroups (15-50 users) that need tabloid-size color print, copy, and scan in one floor-standing unit. It runs 25 ppm in both black and color, with a 7.0-second first-page-out (black) and 9.2-second color, and is rated for a 100,000-page monthly duty cycle. Standard paper capacity is 1,150 sheets across two 500-sheet cassettes plus a 150-sheet multipurpose tray, expandable to 7,150 sheets with the optional side deck and dual cassette feeder. The 9-inch color touchscreen runs HyPAS, Kyocera's app platform, which lets you bolt on workflow apps like KYOcapture, Equitrac, and PaperCut without a separate server. The thing buyers like: Kyocera's amorphous silicon drum is rated for the life of the machine, so you're replacing toner and a fuser, not drum units — total cost of ownership runs 20-30% under HP and Canon equivalents at this speed. The thing buyers regret: the wireless card and the dual-scan ADF are both paid options, not standard, so the published base price is not what walks out the door. This model is discontinued and superseded by the 2553ci; buy the 2553ci new and reserve this listing for refurbished or off-lease units.

FAQ

Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci, 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 Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci ships with a starter toner cartridge. The black starter toner yields approximately 20,000 pages, while the cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges each yield around 12,000 pages at 5% coverage. Replacement toner models include the high-yield TK-8347 series (20,000 pages for black, 12,000 for color) and the standard-yield TK-8327 series. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci is a color A3 multifunction printer with a 25 ppm print speed and a 100,000-page monthly duty cycle, ideal for mid-size workgroups needing tabloid-size printing. In contrast, the Kyocera ECOSYS MA6000ifx is a monochrome A4 printer with a faster 62 ppm speed and a higher 300,000-page monthly duty cycle, designed for high-volume workgroups. The MA6000ifx also features a 100-sheet Dual Scan Document Processor for faster scanning and standard HyPAS capability, while the TASKalfa 2552ci offers color printing and a larger standard paper capacity. For small offices with lower volume needs, the MA2100cwfx may be a more cost-effective option.
