Secondhand Kyocera TASKalfa 6054ci on the Gold Coast

In plain terms

Within Kyocera's TASKalfa 2554ci series, the TASKalfa 6054ci (a 2021 model) is the option at 60 pages a minute. Kyocera built the same family at other speeds too: TASKalfa 3554ci (35), TASKalfa 4054ci (40), TASKalfa 5054ci (50) and TASKalfa 7054ci (70), in pages a minute. Useful to know: 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 MZ6001ci to replace it.

The right size of business

It makes most sense for thirty or more people, or a print room that runs much of the day. If the business is growing, the TASKalfa 7054ci gives you 70 pages a minute in the same family. If your team prints less, compare it with the TASKalfa 5054ci, which manages 50 pages a minute.

How we supply it secondhand

A secondhand TASKalfa 6054ci comes in one of three grades. Renewed is the top grade, with more parts replaced so it looks and runs close to new, and it costs more than refurbished. Refurbished, the most popular, is cleaned, serviced and tested, with its worn parts replaced. Used is checked and working with less work done, for the lowest outlay. Rental, a lease or finance can run for as long as 60 months if the machine's age allows, or you can buy outright. Delivery, setup on your network, scanning setup and a run through for your team are in the price.

We only sell machines we can service, so every secondhand TASKalfa 6054ci we supply can go straight onto a service agreement, with toner, parts and repairs at a set cost per page and a replacement if it fails. Rental on selected machines is from $15 a week plus GST, approval permitting.

Questions worth asking first

• 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.
