Secondhand Kyocera TASKalfa 5053ci on the Gold Coast

What you are getting

Within Kyocera's TASKalfa 2553ci series, the TASKalfa 5053ci is the option at 50 pages a minute. Kyocera built the same family at other speeds too: TASKalfa 2553ci (25), TASKalfa 3253ci (32), TASKalfa 4053ci (40) and TASKalfa 6053ci (60), in pages a minute. Useful to know: it needs the optional single pass document feeder to scan at its top speed of 120 images a minute, has room for 1,150 sheets (or 7,150 with extra paper options) and copes with card stock to 300 gsm. The model that came after it is the TASKalfa 5054ci.

Is it the right fit for your team?

It makes most sense for thirty or more people, or a print room that runs much of the day. For more people on the one machine, look at the TASKalfa 6053ci, the next step up at 60 pages a minute. The TASKalfa 4053ci, at 40 pages a minute, is the gentler option in the family.

Picking a grade, then a way to pay

Choose a renewed TASKalfa 5053ci if you want one that runs close to new, refurbished for the balance most customers pick, or used to keep the outlay down. Every unit is checked first, with the page count in writing. Pay outright, or rent, lease or finance it over a term that can reach 60 months on a younger machine. Delivery, setup on your network, scanning setup and a run through for your team come with it, wherever you are on the Coast.

A secondhand machine on our service agreement has the same replacement warranty as a new one: if it fails, we replace it, for the full term. Approved rentals on the selected machines that qualify are priced from $15 a week plus GST.

Before you commit to a secondhand one

• The page count. Ask for it in writing; we give it before you sign. Pages printed tell you more about wear than the year a machine was made.
• The options on it. Find out what is attached, such as a stapling finisher, more paper drawers or a high capacity feeder. Each one changes the jobs it suits and the figure you pay.
• Who looks after it. A machine nobody can repair is no bargain, however little it costs. We only sell what we can service ourselves, everywhere we deliver.
• The running cost. Have the black and white and colour page rates put in writing, along with what each rate includes.
