Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 408ci 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 run an office of 15-40 people that needs A4 color print, copy, scan, and fax — and your monthly volume is real (5,000-10,000 pages).
  • You want a machine rated to 150,000 pages/month with serious headroom — the 408ci is overbuilt for what most A4 buyers throw at it.
  • You want Wi-Fi, 320GB HDD, 4GB RAM, and 1,000 department codes standard — all included, all paid extras on the 308ci.
  • You scan a lot of two-sided originals — the optional DSDP (DP-5120 at 124 ipm or DP-5130 at 174 ipm duplex) is the upgrade reason vs. the 358ci's same chassis.
  • You want serious finishing — the 1,000-sheet DF-5110 or 3,200-sheet DF-5120 with stapling and 2/3-hole punch bolt on cleanly.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 3,000-5,000 pages a month — engine is overbuilt for that, you'll just stretch the lease.
  • You only need single-sided scanning — the standard RADF works, you're paying for the 408ci's other upgrades anyway.
  • You want banner printing — MPT goes to 8.5 x 48 inches single-sheet, manual feed only.
  • You don't need 42 ppm — if your monthly volume is under 4,000 pages, the 358ci does the same job for less.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need 11x17 (tabloid/A3) — this is an A4/Legal device. Look at the TASKalfa 4054ci or 5054ci instead.
  • You print more than 12,000 pages a month — step up to the 508ci on the same chassis, or to a 5054ci A3 unit.
  • You want booklet finishing — the DF-5110 and DF-5120 staple and punch but don't booklet-fold.
  • You don't need finishing or DSDP — the 358ci is the same chassis for less.
  • You need a low first-page-out under 5 seconds — 5.4 sec black is honest but not class-leading.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 408ci is an A4 color laser multifunction built for offices of 15-40 people that need print, copy, color scan, and fax with real scan and finishing capability. It runs at 42 ppm color and black on Letter (34 ppm Legal), with a 5.4-second first print out in black and 6.4 in color, and is rated for 150,000 pages a month — same engine as the 508ci, just with the speed dialed down. Standard paper capacity is 600 sheets across one 500-sheet drawer plus a 100-sheet MPT, expandable to 3,100 sheets with the optional PF-5120/5130/5140 trays. The 408ci ships with what's optional on the 308ci: 320GB HDD, IB-35 Wi-Fi, 4GB RAM, a faster Freescale QorIQ T1024 controller, 1,000 department codes for chargeback, and the larger Fax System 10(X) memory. The reason buyers pick this over the 358ci is the extra 5 ppm and the 50% higher duty cycle (150K vs. 100K) — if your monthly volume hits 6,000+ pages, the 408ci's per-page cost gets noticeably better. The standout option is the dual-scan DSDP (DP-5120 at 124 ipm duplex, DP-5130 at 174 ipm duplex) — order it day one if you scan two-sided originals daily. The thing buyers regret: not stepping up to the 508ci when their volume creeps past 8,000/month — same chassis, more headroom, only 10 more ppm of difference on the spec sheet.
