Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 6551ci 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 80,000 to 250,000 pages a month with heavy color volume.
  • You serve a large shared floor across multiple departments.
  • You need A3 (11x17) color for layouts, plans, and marketing.
  • You'll spec the 4,000-sheet saddle-stitch finisher.
  • You need TPM for compliance.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you grow into the inserter over time.
  • It's fine if you skip Wi-Fi at first.
  • It's fine if your color quality bar is internal use.
  • It's fine if you use one HyPas app to start.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your volume is under 30,000 pages a month.
  • Skip this if you don't need A3.
  • Skip this if you can't budget for the finisher you'd actually use.
  • Skip this if you need true production-class finishing (perfect bind, GBC).
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Copystar CS 6551ci is a 65 ppm color and 65 ppm black A3 MFP. Native 1200 x 1200 dpi, 300,000-page monthly duty cycle. Floor-standing chassis with the modern Kyocera controller and 10.1-inch tablet panel. Standard 1,500 sheets expandable to 7,650. First page out 3.8 seconds black, 5.0 seconds color. Optional 4,000-sheet saddle-stitch finisher, optional inserter, optional TPM, optional fax. Mobile print, HyPas apps. Built for enterprise floors with mixed color volume. The regret: the price-to-feature ratio is best when configured with the finisher and DSDP, so if you can't budget for both, the 6054ci is essentially the same chassis at slightly lower color speed and saves real money.
