New Kyocera TASKalfa 4054ci on the Gold Coast

The model itself

Kyocera placed the TASKalfa 4054ci (a 2021 model) in its TASKalfa 2554ci series, as the model that prints 40 pages a minute. Sister models and their A4 speeds: TASKalfa 3554ci (35), TASKalfa 5054ci (50), TASKalfa 6054ci (60) and TASKalfa 7054ci (70). From the maker's own figures, it needs the optional single pass document feeder to scan at its top speed of 274 images a minute, has room for 1,150 sheets (or 7,150 with extra paper options) and copes with card stock to 300 gsm. You can still order it new, as it remains in Kyocera's range here.

The right size of business

It makes most sense for a workplace where fifteen to thirty people share one machine. If the business is growing, the TASKalfa 5054ci gives you 50 pages a minute in the same family. If your team prints less, compare it with the TASKalfa 3554ci, which manages 35 pages a minute.

New, delivered and set up

Buy it new and the maker's warranty applies, which on a new machine usually means 12 months on the hardware, though not on consumables. Delivery, setup on your network, scanning setup and a run through for your team sit inside the price.

Outright purchase, rental, a lease or other finance all work, with anything financed subject to approval, and some businesses pay by the page under a managed print agreement. With our service agreement in place, a machine that fails is replaced for as long as the agreement runs, and weekly rental on selected machines is from $15 a week plus GST.
