Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Toshiba e-STUDIO 5055C 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 want a refurbished color MFP at a 30-50% discount versus current generation
  • You have a dealer who stocks toner and parts for the 5055C series
  • You print 3,000-8,000 color pages a month for a 6-15 person office
  • You do not need native cloud connectors and can scan to email or folder instead
  • You need A3, duplex, and finisher options
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your team adapts to the older copier-menu UI
  • It's fine if you scan to email instead of cloud apps
  • It's fine if 60% of your work is monochrome
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your dealer cannot guarantee parts and toner for 3+ years
  • Skip this if you need native cloud scan connectors
  • Skip this if you want the latest mobile print app integrations
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

From the prior generation of Toshiba color MFPs, the e-STUDIO 5055C delivers 50 PPM color and monochrome on the older e-BRIDGE controller, A3 support, standard duplex, and the same paper handling architecture that the 5005AC carried forward. For a small office of 6-15 looking at a refurbished unit at a steep discount versus the current generation, this is a reasonable buy if your dealer carries the toner supply and parts inventory. The interface is the older copier-menu style rather than the tablet touchscreen, which most users adapt to within a week. The honest regret: cloud connectors are limited compared to e-BRIDGE Next, so scan-to-Google-Drive may require a third-party gateway rather than a native integration.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

Toshiba e-STUDIO 5055C, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Toshiba e-STUDIO 5055C ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields approximately 32,000 pages for black and 28,000 pages for color (cyan, magenta, yellow). Replacement toner models are the T-FC50U series (T-FC50UK for black, T-FC50UC for cyan, T-FC50UM for magenta, and T-FC50UY for yellow), which offer high-yield options. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Toshiba e-STUDIO 5055C is a color MFP with a 50 ppm print speed, while the eSTUDIO3528A is a monochrome MFP with a 35 ppm print speed.

The 3528A also has a higher monthly duty cycle (150,000 pages) and optional Wi-Fi, making it better suited for larger teams. For small offices needing color, the 5055C is a cost-effective choice, but the 3528A is ideal for high-volume monochrome printing.
