Older 62 ppm A3 high-volume mono MFP labeled 'production', validate B&W configuration before ordering.
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 6500ci prints A3 at 62 ppm in B&W (the 'ci' suffix is normally color in Kyocera nomenclature, but this record lists B&W — confirm with dealer). Older-generation production-class mono MFP designed for in-plants and corporate print rooms doing 30,000 to 80,000 B&W pages a month. Standard duplex print, scan to email/SMB/FTP, optional fax, DF-790 100-sheet stapler with saddle-stitch. Ecosys long-life drum keeps cost-per-page low. One regret: the ci/B&W mismatch in this record is a yellow flag, and the 'Production' usage class is aspirational — the 6500ci is high-volume enterprise, not a true commercial press. For real production volumes source a Konica bizhub PRESS or Kyocera TASKalfa 9003i instead. For high-volume mono enterprise workflows at refurbished pricing, the 6500ci still earns its keep with confirmed configuration.

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.
