Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP Color 80 Wide Format Printer 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're a small AEC office with occasional color rendering needs (a few times a week).
  • You print 300-1,000 D-size sheets/month total with color under 20%.
  • You want LED dry toner for moisture resistance over inkjet.
  • You need 4 rolls for mixed bond/vellum/tracing.
  • You can live with 600 x 600 dpi for standard line work.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your color jobs are one-off presentation prints, not batches.
  • It's fine if you batch plot once or twice a day.
  • It's fine if scanning is handled by a desktop unit.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your color volume is >20% of monthly output — buy the C7800.
  • Skip this if you need 600 x 2400 dpi for fine detail.
  • Skip this if you need walk-up scan/copy.
  • Skip this if monthly volume exceeds ~1,500 sheets.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP Color 80 is a single-function 36-inch color and B&W wide-format printer running 6 pages per minute in both color and mono at 600 x 600 dpi. It supports 4-roll media (6,000 sq ft total capacity) at 36-inch maximum width and 75-foot max length, using an LED-powered toner system for moisture-resistant prints. Print-only. Targeted at small architectural and engineering offices that need occasional color renderings and CAD plotting in one box without committing to a production-class color machine. Where buyers most regret: at 6 ppm the Color 80 is genuinely entry-level — shops that grew into steady color demand quickly outpaced its throughput and found the 600 x 600 dpi resolution noticeably softer than the C7800 (600 x 2400 dpi). If color is more than occasional, you'll wish you'd skipped the Color 80 and gone straight to the C7800.
