Older 65 ppm A3 enterprise color MFP with color/B&W parity for 35K to 80K mixed-output pages monthly.
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 6550ci prints A3 color at 65 ppm in both color and B&W and is the older-generation enterprise color MFP at this top speed tier. Designed for enterprise floors running 35,000 to 80,000 pages a month with mixed color and B&W output. Standard duplex print, dual-scan ADF runs at about 220 ipm, optional DF-790 100-sheet stapler with saddle-stitch finishing. Ecosys long-life drum keeps cost-per-page low at color. HyPAS workflow apps. One regret: this is older i-series — current 6054ci units have TPM 2.0, refreshed firmware, and stronger Kyocera Cloud Print integration. If your IT team requires current security baselines for ISO 27001 or SOC 2, source the current generation. The 6550ci still earns its keep at refurbished pricing for high-volume color/B&W parity workflows that don't drive new firmware features.

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.
