Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox DocuColor 5000 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 already operate a DocuColor 5000 and need a matched node.
  • You print 30,000-100,000 color pages a month.
  • Your dealer guarantees parts and toner for 12+ months.
  • You produce booklets with SquareFold.
  • You need 14x19 sheet support for full bleeds with crop marks.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you bridge to a Versant or iGen within 18 months.
  • It's fine if your operator has Fiery or Creo experience.
  • It's fine if some jobs go to offset.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this for new fleet rollouts.
  • Skip this if supplies aren't locked in.
  • Skip this if you need factory support contracts.
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.

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.

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. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
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.
The Xerox DocuColor 5000 is a high-volume production printer designed for commercial print shops, with a monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages and a speed of 50 ppm. Its commercial-grade features, such as support for heavy stocks and inline finishing, exceed the needs of most small businesses. 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.
Yes, the Xerox DocuColor 5000 is a color production printer capable of printing in full color at 2400x2400 dpi. It supports a wide range of media, including coated and synthetic stocks, making it ideal for high-quality color printing tasks such as brochures, direct mail, and short-run color books.
