Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox Color 550 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 run a small in-plant or marketing department printing 10,000-50,000 color pages a month and need entry-level production color with A3/SRA3 output.
  • You print mixed weight stocks 64-300 gsm — coated and uncoated, postcards, posters, brochures, transparencies, tabs.
  • You scan stacks of mixed-size originals — 250-sheet DADF with 50 ppm color / 75 ppm B&W scanning.
  • You want one machine that does print, copy, scan, and (optional) fax — true MFP, not a single-function press.
  • You're stepping up from an office MFP and want a Xerox Integrated Fiery or Integrated Color Server.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 50,000-80,000 pages/month — handles it but you're at the edge of the 300K duty cycle and AMPV.
  • You want full production-grade quality — the Color 550 is the entry of the 550/560/570 family; if your color is critical, look at the 560 or 570 with FreeFlow.
  • You want optional finishing — Standard Finisher with Booklet Maker, GBC AdvancedPunch, SquareFold Trimmer, C/Z Folder all bolt on but each adds footprint.
  • You need wireless or mobile printing — Xerox Mobile Print Cloud is optional, requires sign-up.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 5,000 pages/month — paying for a 604-lb floor-standing color MFP that will sit idle. Get a VersaLink C7000 or AltaLink C8030.
  • You print over 80,000 pages/month — sized for 10K-50K AMPV. Step up to the Color 570 or Color 770 production press.
  • You don't need A3/SRA3 — every job is letter — VersaLink C500/C600 series at smaller footprint.
  • You don't have a 110V/20A dedicated circuit available.
  • You need first-page-out under 5 seconds — at 11 sec color / 9.4 sec B&W, the 550 is slow off the line; AltaLink C8070 first-page is 4.7 sec color.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox Color 550 is the entry point of the Color 550/560/570 family — a floor-standing A3/SRA3 color laser multifunction printer for small in-plants, marketing departments, and quick-print operations printing 10,000-50,000 color pages a month. It runs 50 ppm color and 55 ppm B&W at letter/A4, with 25 ppm color / 30 ppm B&W at 11x17/A3, and a 300,000-page monthly duty cycle. Print resolution is 2400 x 2400 dpi using Xerox EA toner with Ultra Low Melt Technology. The 250-sheet DADF copies and scans up to A3 at 50 ppm color / 75 ppm B&W in copy mode (80 ppm B&W in network scan). Standard paper capacity is 3,260 sheets across the 250-sheet bypass plus four trays (Tray 1: 500, Tray 2: 500, Tray 3: 870, Tray 4: 1,140), with a 7,260-sheet ceiling using the optional 2-tray Oversized High Capacity Feeder. Sheets from 4 x 6 inches (bypass) up to 13 x 19 inches / SRA3, weights 64-300 gsm coated and uncoated, auto duplex up to 220 gsm. Choose between the built-in Xerox Integrated Color Server, optional Xerox Integrated Fiery Color Server, EX Print Server (Fiery, external), or Xerox FreeFlow Print Server (external). Finishing is modular — Offset Catch Tray, Advanced Finisher, Professional Finisher, Standard Finisher with Booklet Maker, GBC AdvancedPunch, SquareFold Trimmer Module, C/Z Folder. Footprint is 62 x 31.6 x 54.8 inches base unit (~604 lb). The thing buyers regret: choosing the Color 550 when the workflow really needs a production press. The 550 is an MFP first, a press second — if you're doing serious offset replacement work for clients, step up to the Color 770 or Color 800/1000 with a real FreeFlow workflow.

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.
