Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Xerox AltaLink C8055 is actually for
Most equipment pages just tell you what a device 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
offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.
Best fit
Pick this if...
You run a department or central print room serving 50-150 users printing 8,000-22,000 color pages a month.
You need A3 color with a real finisher — Office Finisher LX, BR Finisher (3,000-sheet stacker, 50-sheet stapling), BR Booklet Maker Finisher (saddle-stitch up to 16 sheets), or C-fold/Z-fold unit.
You scan high volumes — 130-sheet single-pass DADF at 80 ppm simplex / 139 ipm duplex.
You're standardizing on Xerox ConnectKey across the fleet for one UI, one address book.
You need McAfee whitelisting, FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria HCD-PP v1.0, Cisco ISE.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
You print 22,000-30,000 pages/month — covered by the 300K duty cycle; toner economics get tight past 25K.
You want production-grade RIP — optional EX-c C8000 EFI Fiery print server adds it.
You're consolidating two slower color MFPs into one — the C8055 at 50/55 ppm and 300K duty handles the combined load.
You're migrating from a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5560i or Konica bizhub C558 — comparable speed/duty class, operators adapt in 2-3 weeks.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
You print under 5,000 color pages/month — paying for capacity you won't use; get the C8030 or C8035.
You print over 30,000 pages/month — step up to the C8070 (also 300K duty but 70 ppm color).
You don't need A3 — every job is letter — VersaLink C500/C600/C7000 series at smaller footprint.
You don't have a 110V/20A dedicated circuit — C8055 needs 20A, not 15A like the C8030/C8035/C8045.
You need print resolution above 1200 x 2400 dpi for production graphics — look at the Color 550 or 770 production presses.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Xerox AltaLink C8055 is a floor-standing A3 color laser multifunction printer for departments and central print rooms serving 50-150 users printing 8,000-22,000 color pages a month. It runs 50 ppm color and 55 ppm B&W at letter/A4, with first-page-out as fast as 6.0 seconds color / 4.7 seconds B&W and a 300,000-page monthly duty cycle. The 130-sheet single-pass Duplex Automatic Document Feeder scans color and B&W at 80 ppm simplex / 139 ipm duplex. Standard paper capacity is 1,140 sheets (two 520-sheet trays + 100-sheet bypass); the High Capacity Tandem Tray expands that to 3,140, with a 5,140-sheet ceiling using the optional 2,000-sheet HCF. Print resolution is 1200 x 2400 dpi; copy is 600 x 600 dpi. Finishing options: Office Finisher LX with Booklet Maker, BR Finisher with 3,000-sheet stacker and 50-sheet stapling, or BR Booklet Maker Finisher (saddle-stitch up to 16 sheets / 64-page booklets) with optional C-fold/Z-fold unit. The 10.1-inch ConnectKey color touchscreen runs Workplace Suite/Cloud and the Xerox App Gallery. Connectivity standard is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0; Wi-Fi Direct/NFC optional via the Xerox USB Wireless Adapter. Optional EX-c C8000 EFI Fiery print server adds production-grade RIP. Security stack includes McAfee Embedded Control whitelisting, AES 256-bit drive encryption, FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria HCD-PP v1.0, Cisco ISE. Power: 110-127V/20A circuit required. The thing buyers regret: not budgeting for the BR Finisher with C-fold/Z-fold. Without it the C8055 is just a fast color MFP — with it, the device handles tri-fold mailers, brochures, and saddle-stitched booklets in one pass.

How you can buy this printer
Buy it, lease it, or just reorder supplies
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.
