Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Konica Minolta bizhub 550i is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department of 30-80 people that needs A3 (11x17) mono output for the workgroup.
  • You print 8,000-18,000 mono pages a month and want runway — this is rated for 200,000.
  • You scan tabloid-and-letter mixed batches all day and want single-pass dual-scan at 280 ipm in duplex.
  • You want a sweet-spot speed/price tradeoff between the 450i (45 ppm) and 650i (65 ppm).
  • You're standardizing on Konica Minolta and want bizhub SECURE, MarketPlace apps, and the 10.1-inch i-Series UI.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 5,000-8,000 mono pages a month — overbuilt, but the lease amortizes longer.
  • You need Wi-Fi — it's an optional UK-221 module, not standard.
  • You need finishing (staple, hole-punch, booklet) — the FS-539, FS-540SD, and PK-524/526 punch kits bolt on, but plan for the floor space and the extra invoice line.
  • You're upgrading from a bizhub 558 — operators adapt to the i-Series touchscreen in about a week.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 3,000 pages a month — this is overspec'd for that. Get a 4750i or 5020i desktop instead.
  • You need color. Mono only — the C550i is the 55-ppm color sibling on the same chassis.
  • You need Wi-Fi out of the box — wireless is optional.
  • You want a small footprint — floor-standing chassis, 24.2 x 27.1 x 37.8 inches base, 220 lb.
  • You print 11x17 at full speed — A3 drops to 32 ppm vs 55 ppm at letter. Within the family this is normal; for sustained tabloid output the 808 (80 ppm) is the better fit.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Konica Minolta bizhub 550i is a floor-standing A3 mono laser MFP for departments of 30-80 users — the middle of the 450i/550i/650i family. It prints and copies up to 55 ppm at letter (32 ppm at 11x17), scans at 140 ipm simplex / 280 ipm duplex via the standard 300-sheet single-pass dual-scan ADF, and is rated for a 200,000-page monthly max duty cycle. Standard paper capacity is 1,150 sheets across two 500-sheet trays plus a 150-sheet bypass, expandable to 6,650 sheets with the LU-302 or LU-207 high-capacity unit. The 10.1-inch tilt touchscreen with smartphone-style UI is the headline — operators customize the home screen with widgets and Konica Minolta MarketPlace apps. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0; Wi-Fi (UK-221) and Super G3 fax (FK-514) are optional add-ons your reseller will quote separately. The thing buyers regret: skipping the booklet finisher on the original quote and trying to add it later — get the FS-539SD or FS-540SD on the build sheet up front.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

FAQ

Konica Minolta bizhub 550i, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (616) 800-7682 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Konica Minolta bizhub 550i ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically yields around 24,000 pages at 5% coverage. Replacement toner models include the genuine Konica Minolta TN628 (AC79030) with a yield of 24,000 pages, and compatible high-yield options like TN628 or TN-626K, which can yield up to 28,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Konica Minolta bizhub 550i is designed for larger workgroups of 30-80 users, offering a faster print speed of 55 ppm (vs. 36 ppm for the 360i) and a higher monthly duty cycle of 200,000 pages (vs. 175,000 for the 360i). The 550i also features a 300-sheet ADF with a scan speed of 280 ipm duplex, compared to the 360i's 100-sheet ADF and 200 ipm duplex scan speed. Both models have a 10.1-inch touchscreen and similar paper capacity, but the 550i is better suited for higher-volume environments. For small offices with lower print volumes, the bizhub 360i may be a more cost-effective choice.
The Konica Minolta bizhub 550i is ideal for departments of 30-80 users with a monthly print volume of 8,000-18,000 pages. Its 55 ppm print speed, 200,000-page monthly duty cycle, and advanced scanning capabilities make it suitable for medium to large workgroups. However, for small businesses with lower print volumes (under 5,000 pages/month), this model may be overspec'd.
No, the Konica Minolta bizhub 550i is a monochrome (black and white) printer only. For color printing, consider alternatives like the Konica Minolta bizhub C550i, C450i, or C360i, which offer similar features with color capabilities.
