Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 3051ci is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer 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 sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You print 12,000 to 30,000 mixed pages a month for a 30-60 person office.
  • You'll use 11 x 17 paper for booklets and signage.
  • You'll spec the DF-790(C) for saddle-stitch booklets.
  • You want a 150K monthly duty rated chassis.
  • You'll keep the standard dual 500-sheet input.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if 600 x 600 dpi covers your daily output.
  • It's fine if you skip the optional finisher initially.
  • It's fine if you only need scan-to-folder.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if marketing-grade color matters — the CS 3551ci or Canon C3730i is sharper.
  • Skip this if you push past 40,000 monthly.
  • Skip this if you need SRA3.
  • Skip this if A4-only is enough.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Engineered for high-productivity offices, the Copystar CS 3051ci runs at 30 ppm color and B/W at 600 x 600 dpi (9600 x 600 interpolated) and is rated for a 150,000-page monthly duty cycle — the high-volume sibling of the 3050ci. Dual 500-sheet drawers handle 11 x 17 paper, and optional DF-770(D) and DF-790(C) finishers add stapling, punching, and saddle-stitch. Security features cover network and document protection. The 9 inch color touchscreen runs HyPAS apps for scan workflow, secure print release, and authentication. Footprint is roughly 23 x 27 inches and weight is around 290 lb on the cabinet. Power runs on 110-127 V at 12 A. The 150K monthly duty cycle is a ceiling — sustained volume is closer to 50-60K monthly. Mono toner yields around 25,000 pages and color around 15,000 each. Honest regret: the manifest lists 600 x 600 dpi but in this generation 1200 x 1200 dpi is the modern expectation — if marketing-grade color matters, the next-gen CS 3551ci or a Canon C3730i is a better pick.

FAQ

Copystar CS 3051ci, 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 Copystar CS 3051ci ships with a starter toner cartridge. The black toner (TK-8309K) yields approximately 25,000 pages, while each color toner (cyan, magenta, yellow) yields around 15,000 pages at 5% coverage. Replacement toners include the TK-8309 series or compatible alternatives like the TK-8307/TK-8308. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Copystar CS 3051ci is faster (30 ppm vs. 25 ppm) and has a higher monthly duty cycle (150,000 pages vs. lower for the 2550ci). It also features a larger 9-inch touchscreen, higher toner yields (25,000 black/15,000 color vs. 12,000 black/6,000 color), and supports 11x17 paper. The CS 2550ci is smaller and lighter but lacks the advanced finishing options and modern features of the 3051ci. For small offices needing higher volume and better resolution, the CS 3051ci is the better value.

However, if your business requires higher resolution (1200 x 1200 dpi), consider stepping up to a commercial option like the Copystar CS 3551ci or Canon C3730i.
Yes, the Copystar CS 3051ci supports full-color printing at 30 ppm, along with black-and-white printing at the same speed. It uses separate toner cartridges for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, ensuring high-quality color output.
