TASKalfa 4551ci
Kyocera refreshed the 4550ci into the TASKalfa 4551ci with updated internals while keeping the same TK-8505 color toner set, so existing supply stocks carry straight over with no waste. The 45-ppm-class color MFP stays the workhorse for mid-size departments printing mixed A3 and A4 jobs day after day. If you know the 4550ci, the 4551ci is its direct successor with the same cartridges.
