Secondhand Kyocera TASKalfa 6004i on the Gold Coast

In plain terms

Kyocera placed the TASKalfa 6004i (a 2021 model) in its TASKalfa 7004i series, as the model that prints 60 pages a minute. Sister models and their A4 speeds: TASKalfa 5004i (50) and TASKalfa 7004i (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. Kyocera has since brought out the TASKalfa MZ6001i to replace it.

Where it fits best

It makes most sense for thirty or more people, or a print room that runs much of the day. Expecting more staff? The same family's TASKalfa 7004i lifts the speed to 70 pages a minute. The TASKalfa 5004i, at 50 pages a minute, is the gentler option in the family.

Picking a grade, then a way to pay

Choose a renewed TASKalfa 6004i 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.

Bought outright without a service agreement, its warranty depends on the machine, and we tell you in writing what it is before the sale. With a service agreement, it is replaced if it fails, for the whole term. The lowest weekly rental, from $15 a week plus GST, is for selected machines, subject to approval.

Four things to ask about a secondhand machine

• 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.
