Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 5052ci 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...

  • Pick this if you print 10,000-30,000 color A3/A4 pages a month with mixed paper sizes.
  • Pick this if 50 ppm color and 3.7-second first-page-out matter for your workflow.
  • Pick this if 7,150-sheet input expansion would let you skip weekly refills.
  • Pick this if banner printing up to 320 x 1,220 mm is a real workflow need.
  • Pick this if Kyocera's long-life consumables suit your service-contract economics.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your real volume is 6,000-10,000 pages — you have growth room.
  • It's fine if A3 is steady but you mostly print A4.
  • It's fine if you connect via wired Ethernet primarily.
  • It's fine if optional finishing stays optional.
  • It's fine if you mostly print mono with steady color.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you push 35,000+ pages a month — get the 6052ci or 7052ci.
  • Skip this if your monthly volume is under 5,000 pages — the 4052ci is plenty.
  • Skip this if you only print mono — the 5002i saves money.
  • Skip this if you only need A4 — the 406ci or 506ci is cheaper.
  • Skip this if floor space is tight — this is workgroup-class.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 5052ci is the 50 ppm A3 color twin of the 5002i: 25 ppm A3, first page out at 3.7-4.8 seconds, 1,200 x 1,200 dpi (4,800 dpi equivalent), 4 GB RAM, 8 GB SSD, 9-inch touchscreen, standard 1,150-sheet input expandable to 7,150, integrated duplex, and a 225,000-page rated monthly duty cycle. Banner printing supports 12 x 18 inches and SRA3 up to 320 x 1,220 mm. Power use is reasonable at about 2.5 kWh per week. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct. The honest catch: at 50 ppm color this is real workgroup speed, but pricing reflects it — most teams under 10,000 color pages a month do better with the 4052ci. And inline finishing (stapling, booklet) is optional, so factor that into total install cost. Best fit: 25-60 person offices doing 10,000-30,000 color pages a month with mixed A3 and A4 work.
