Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Xerox DocuColor 5000 is a 50-ppm cut-sheet color production printer — single-function press class for commercial print shops doing direct mail, brochures, and short-run color books. Monthly duty cycle is 300,000 pages, paper capacity reaches 6,755 sheets, and stocks 64-300 gsm including coated and synthetic are supported up to 14.33x19.21 inches. Resolution is 2400x2400 dpi, and the EFI Fiery or Creo controller handles VDP, ICC color matching, and JDF workflows. Inline finishing scales through stacker, booklet maker, and SquareFold. One regret: the DocuColor 5000 line is genuinely EOL with parts inventory thinning — even matched fleet additions should come with written 12-month parts and toner commitments. The press handles VIPP and FreeForm 2 for high-volume variable-print direct mail, and inline finishing includes Plockmatic booklet maker with face trim plus the optional GBC Advanced Punch Pro. Xerox dealer service contracts on this class typically run $0.04-$0.08 per color page and $0.008-$0.012 per B&W page depending on minimum monthly volume committed.
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.

FAQ
Xerox DocuColor 5000, 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 Xerox DocuColor 5000 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields approximately 22,500 to 30,000 pages for black and 30,000 to 37,500 pages for color. Replacement toner models include the Xerox 006R01247 (black) and 006R01248/49/50 (cyan/magenta/yellow), which are high-yield cartridges designed for production environments.

The Xerox DocuColor 5000 is a 50-ppm single-function color production printer designed for commercial print shops, with a monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages and support for heavy stocks up to 300 gsm. In contrast, the Xerox Color EC70 is a 70-ppm color MFP built for print-for-pay environments, offering scanning, copying, and optional specialty toners (gold, silver, clear, or white). The EC70 also features a higher standard paper capacity (3,260 sheets vs. 6,755 sheets max for the DocuColor 5000) and a more modern integrated color server. For small offices, the EC70 may be a better fit due to its multifunction capabilities and lower monthly volume requirements.

Additionally, the DocuColor 5000 is end-of-life (EOL), making parts and support increasingly difficult to obtain. For a small business, a more scalable and supported option would be better.
