TASKalfa 4550ci
The Kyocera TASKalfa 4550ci is a 45-page-per-minute A3 color multifunction printer built for demanding office workgroups. It prints, copies, scans and faxes in color and black and white, handling paper sizes up to A3 (11 x 17 inches).
It runs on the TK-8507 toner cartridge set: one high-capacity black cartridge plus cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges. The black cartridge is rated for approximately 30,000 pages and each color cartridge for approximately 20,000 pages (ISO/IEC 19798), so high-volume teams replace toner less often.
