i-series 50 ppm A3 color MFP with 220 ipm scan and Cloud Print, fit for 12K to 30K pages with color/B&W parity.
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."
Kyocera's TASKalfa 5053ci prints A3 color at 50 ppm in both color and B&W and is the i-series enterprise color MFP at this speed tier. Designed for small to mid-size offices doing 12,000 to 30,000 pages a month with mixed color and B&W output. Standard duplex print, dual-scan ADF runs at about 220 ipm, optional DF-7110 100-sheet stapler and DF-7120 saddle-stitch finisher. Android-style 10.1-inch tilting touchscreen, HyPAS workflow apps, and Kyocera Cloud Print integration. Ecosys long-life drum keeps cost-per-page competitive at color. One regret: the 5053ci is older i-series — current 5054ci units have TPM 2.0 and refreshed firmware. If your IT team requires current security baselines, source the 5054ci instead. For mid-cycle fleet expansion or refurbished buys, the 5053ci is solid value with strong color/B&W parity.

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.
