65 ppm A4 mono production-class MFP from the previous Kyocera generation. Built for sustained high-volume runs with 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 6500i is a 65 ppm A4 / 32 ppm A3 black-and-white production-class MFP from the previous Kyocera generation. 600 x 600 dpi native, 9,600 dpi smoothed. Standard 1,500 sheets expandable to 7,150 with side decks. Duty cycle is 300,000 pages monthly with engine architecture sized for sustained operation, not bursts. Optional 4,000-sheet finisher with stapling, hole punch, and saddle-stitch. Optional inserter and folder for production-style output. HyPas onboard. The regret: at native 600 dpi this is a workhorse engine but not a sharpness leader, so if you need fine line work or small-text legibility every day, step up to the 6501i with native 1200 dpi.

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.
