Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Konica Minolta bizhub C550i 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 35-90 people that needs A3 (11x17) color and 55 ppm hits the volume class right.
  • You print 9,000-20,000 color and mono pages a month and want headroom — this is rated for 200,000.
  • You scan large stacks of mixed-size originals daily and need 280 ipm in duplex via the standard 300-sheet single-pass ADF.
  • You need inline finishing (staple, hole-punch, booklet) — the FS-539, FS-540SD, and PK punch kits all bolt on.
  • You're standardizing on Konica Minolta i-Series and want one device per floor or department with the same UI everywhere.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 6,000-9,000 pages a month — engine isn't pushed and a C450i would technically suffice.
  • You need Wi-Fi — optional UK-221 module.
  • You're upgrading from a C558 — same usage class, the C550i is the i-Series successor.
  • You need professional press-grade color — pair with the optional Fiery IC-420 controller.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — overspec'd. A C450i or desktop C4050i would do.
  • You print mostly mono — a 550i (mono only) on the same chassis is cheaper to run.
  • You need Wi-Fi out of the box — wireless is optional via UK-221.
  • You want a small footprint — floor-standing, 24.2 x 27.1 x 37.8 inches base, 220 lb without finisher.
  • You need 11x17 at full speed — A3 throttles to 27 ppm vs 55 ppm at letter. The C650i holds tabloid speed slightly better at 32 ppm.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Konica Minolta bizhub C550i is the middle floor-standing A3 color laser MFP in the C450i/C550i/C650i family, built for departments of 35-90 users. It prints and copies up to 55 ppm in both black and color (27 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 runs the same Konica Minolta MarketPlace apps as every other i-Series. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0; Wi-Fi (UK-221) and Super G3 fax (FK-514) are optional. The Fiery IC-420 controller is available for professional color matching. The chassis is shared with the mono 550i and color C450i/C650i — same body, different print engine. The thing buyers regret: ordering this for a 4,000-page-a-month department. The C450i is the same chassis at a lower lease and the volume difference doesn't pay back the speed step.
