TASKalfa 5550ci
Stepping up to the 55-page-per-minute class, the Kyocera TASKalfa 5550ci is the faster sibling of the 4550ci, aimed at floors where the printer queue never quite empties. It runs the same TK-8505 four-color toner set, so consumable planning stays simple across both models and mixed fleets need only one toner stock. More speed, same cartridges — the upgrade path is straightforward.
