55 ppm color / 50 ppm black A3 MFP, previous Kyocera generation. Strong refurb value with HyPas and floor-class finishing options.
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."
The Copystar CS 5550ci is a 55 ppm color and 50 ppm black A3 MFP from the previous Kyocera generation. Floor-standing, 200,000-page monthly duty cycle, native 1200 x 1200 dpi. Standard 1,500 sheets across two cassettes plus 500-sheet bypass. First page out 5.0 seconds black, 6.5 seconds color. Optional finisher options for stapling, hole punch, and booklet. Older controller, USB and Ethernet standard, Wi-Fi optional. HyPas onboard. The regret: this is a previous-generation model and is most attractive on the refurb or off-lease market, but make sure your dealer can source the right toner, fuser, and drum units for the next 3 to 5 years before committing.

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.
