Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Konica Minolta bizhub C4050i is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device 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 offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a small office or workgroup of 8-25 people that wants the fastest A4 color desktop in the i-Series.
  • You print 2,500-7,000 pages a month and want 42 ppm with the 10.1-inch i-Series touchscreen.
  • You scan multi-page documents — single-pass duplex via the standard 80-sheet dual-scan ADF runs 96 ipm.
  • You want bizhub SECURE, MarketPlace apps, and Personalize on a desktop chassis that fits on a counter.
  • You're standardizing on Konica Minolta i-Series and want one device per branch with no floor-stand footprint.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 9,000 pages a month — handles it but you'll cycle the color toner more often than ideal.
  • You need legal-size — supported via Tray 1 and bypass.
  • You need Wi-Fi — optional UK-221 module.
  • You need a fax — Super G3 fax is included on most KMBS US configurations as a standard option.
  • You're upgrading from a C3851FS — same usage class, the C4050i is the i-Series successor.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print more than 10,000 pages a month — at that volume the per-page cost gets ugly. Step up to the floor-standing C450i.
  • You need 11x17 (tabloid) — A4 only here.
  • You need an inline finisher (staple, hole-punch, booklet) — only offline (manual) staple is offered. The C450i and up support inline finishing.
  • You need professional press-grade color — this is office-grade color, no Fiery option on this chassis.
  • You print mostly mono — a 4750i (50 ppm mono) on similar footprint is faster mono and cheaper to run.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Konica Minolta bizhub C4050i is the top desktop A4 color laser MFP in the i-Series, built for small offices and workgroups of 8-25 users. It prints and copies up to 42 ppm in both black and color, scans at 48 opm simplex / 96 opm duplex via the standard 80-sheet single-pass dual-scan ADF, and is rated for a 120,000-page monthly max duty cycle. Standard paper capacity is 600 sheets (one 500-sheet drawer plus a 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 1,600 sheets with optional cassettes. The 10.1-inch tilt touchscreen with smartphone-style UI is the same panel as the floor-standing C450i and C650i — bizhub SECURE, MarketPlace apps, Personalize all included. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0; Wi-Fi (UK-221) and Super G3 fax (FK-514) are optional. The chassis is shared with the C3350i (35 ppm) — same 86-lb body, faster engine. Dimensions (18.5 x 20.8 x 22.5 inches) fit on a counter or low cabinet, no floor stand required. The thing buyers regret: assuming the C4050i takes inline finishing — only offline (manual) staple is offered. If you need automatic stapling, hole-punch, or booklet finishing, jump to the floor-standing C450i.
