TASKalfa 500CI
For the department that outgrew the 400ci, the TASKalfa 500ci pushes the same TK-855 toner platform into the 50-page-per-minute class. Everything else carries over — the color MFP feature set, the long-life components, the single cartridge family — just with more throughput for heavier days. Fleet managers standardizing on TK-855 cover both models with one supply closet.
