have you been looking for a high volume color copier in Madison? Maybe you print flyers for a church or just do a lot of color mock ups. The Kyocera TaskAlfa 650c is really for the customer who does a lot of volume! If you are doing 10,000 or more color copies per month, this is where this copier would fit in. After all, who would want to spend the 25k to $30k on this device for a volume of just 3,000 color copies a month. For lower volumes, you would want to consider the Kyocera TaskAlfa 250CI, The Kyocera TaskAlfa 300CI, The Kyocera TaskAlfa 400Ci or the Kyocera TaskAlfa 500CI.
The Kyocera TaskAlfa 650C is designed for the high volume user. If you are not a high volume user, you will find the warm up times, the cost and the machine size to be out of range for what is desireable in a company copier. Our review here is mainly to warn you against buying this copier if your volume is 10,000 pages of color a month or less.
What to Consider
When evaluating a copier for your Madison office, it helps to look beyond the spec sheet. Think about how many pages your team prints each month. A machine rated for 10,000 pages per month will wear out fast if your actual volume is closer to 25,000. Ask your dealer about duty cycle and recommended monthly volume so you get the right fit.
Paper handling matters more than most buyers realize. Look at the standard paper capacity, the number of paper trays, and whether you can add optional trays later. If your office uses different paper sizes or heavier stock for presentations, make sure the machine supports those options. Many Kyocera models offer flexible media handling that works well for southern Wisconsin businesses.
Bottom Line
The best copier is one that matches your actual workflow. Do not pay for features you will not use, but do not cut corners on the ones you need every day.
