Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 3552ci 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 of 20-60 people needing in-house A3 color at 35 ppm.
  • You print 5,000-15,000 pages a month with a real Letter/Ledger mix.
  • You scan high volumes — the optional DP-7110 dual-scan ADF runs at 180 ipm one-pass duplex.
  • You want true 1200 x 1200 dpi (this is the upgrade over the 3551ci's multi-bit 600 dpi).
  • You need a 9-inch color touchscreen with HyPAS apps for scan-to-folder, OCR, and workflow.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 15,000-25,000 pages a month — the 175,000 duty cycle gives plenty of headroom.
  • You need finishing — the 500-sheet inner finisher (DF-7100), 1,000-sheet (DF-7120), or 4,000-sheet (DF-7110) all bolt on.
  • You want EFI Fiery — optional controller is available for complex color workflows.
  • You're replacing a Ricoh, Canon, or Konica A3 — operators adapt to the 9-inch HyPAS panel in 2-3 weeks.
  • You want banner output (up to 12 x 48 inches) — supported single-sheet from the multi-purpose tray.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 2,000 pages a month — you're paying for floor-standing A3 capacity you won't use.
  • You need a 10.1-inch touchscreen and the latest Kyocera UI — the 3553ci is the same engine with the bigger panel and 220-ipm DP-7130 ADF option.
  • You need plug-and-play Wi-Fi — wireless is the IB-51 optional accessory.
  • You don't have a Kyocera dealer — enterprise A3 MFPs need a service contract, not break/fix.
  • You need 11x17 from every tray — Tray 1 tops out at Legal; A3/12x18 comes from Tray 2, optional PF-7100, or the MPT.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 3552ci is a floor-standing A3 color laser MFP for workgroups of 20-60 users. It runs 35 ppm in both black and color at Letter (21 ppm Legal, 17 ppm Ledger), with a 4.5-second first-copy-out time for black and a 175,000-page monthly duty cycle. The real upgrade over the older 3551ci is true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution and a refreshed controller (Freescale QorIQ T1024 dual-core). Standard paper capacity is 1,150 sheets — two 500-sheet drawers plus a 150-sheet multi-purpose tray — expandable to 7,150 sheets with optional PF-7100/7110 dual feeders or the PF-7120 3,000-sheet side LCT. The 9-inch color touchscreen runs Kyocera HyPAS apps for scan-to-folder, scan-to-email, and document workflow integrations. Standard interfaces are Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, plus four USB host ports for thumb drives and accessories. Wireless LAN (IB-51), fax, and finishing are optional. The DP-7110 dual-scan ADF is the upgrade most buyers want — 180 ipm one-pass duplex versus 48 ipm on the base DP-7100. The thing buyers regret: paying for a 35 ppm A3 color enterprise MFP and printing mostly Letter B&W. If your color volume is under 10%, the mono 4003i is the same chassis at lower toner cost.
