As we kick off a new year, we want to make sure you have the best copiers of 2025. This year we are breaking down 5 different Kyocera series designed to boost productivity, improve efficiency, and save on costs.
At American Office Solutions, we sometimes hear potential clients say they prefer a "name brand" instead of Kyocera. We can't help but chuckle when we hear this because Kyocera has been a leading name brand since 1959. Starting out as a ceramics company they built components for electronics and built a reputation for innovation, and reliability. In 2000, they bought Mita Industrial Company and used their ceramic expertise to craft durable, long-lasting printing drums, making their devices true durable workhorses.
Fast forward to 2024, and Kyocera is still leading the way. Keypoint Intelligence is a leading market research firm for document imaging which provided Kyocera with twelve awards. These included Most Color Consistent A3 Brand and Line of the Year. These awards beat famous brands like Canon, Konica Minolta, Toshiba, and Xerox.
So, yes, Kyocera is definitely a name brand. They have been a leader in copiers and printers for over 25 years. People recognize them for their greater reliability, consistency, and durability compared to other brands.
Our top pick for full sized devices include the TASKalfa color series, featuring models 2554ci, 3554ci, 4054ci, 5054ci, 6054ci, and 7054ci. These copiers are top color solutions for 2025. They earned Kyocera the title of Most Color Consistent A3 Brand. Equipped with innovative AI-powered "super resolution" technology, they enhance image quality by comparing and refining images using internet-based data for professional results.
Kyocera provides strong security with features like encrypted email (S/MIME) and automatic certificate updates (SCEP). It also checks certificate validity (OCSP/CRL) and monitors threats (SIEM). Support for TLS 1.3 further enhances secure communication between web browsers and servers.
Kyocera's eco-friendly efforts include the TASKalfa series. This series uses toner containers that have a Toner Locking System. This system enables users to repurpose empty black toner containers as waste toner containers, reducing waste and conserving resources.
The TASKalfa color series gives businesses a great mix of productivity, security, and sustainability. It has easy-to-use interfaces, strong paper handling, and low operating costs.

Mirroring the advanced features of the color series, these models include robust security measures, such as encrypted communications and automatic certificate updates, to protect sensitive data. They also share Kyocera's eco-friendly innovations, including dual-purpose toner containers and the Toner Locking System, which minimize waste and align with sustainable practices. While optimized for monochrome printing, these devices still support professional-quality color scanning, enabling seamless versatility for modern workflows.
With intuitive interfaces, flexible paper handling, and low operating costs, the TASKalfa monochrome series is a reliable and sustainable solution for businesses that prioritize efficiency and value.

Looking for a device that bridges the gap between a full-standing A4 model and a desktop A3 model? Kyocera has the perfect solution with the TASKalfa 308ci.
This compact yet powerful multifunction printer delivers the same reliability and security as the TASKalfa series while offering a more space-efficient design. It sacrifices 11x17 printing to maintain slightly smaller footprint, making it an ideal choice for businesses that need high performance without a bulky machine.
These powerful multifunction printers keep pace with your dynamic, fast-growing business through rapid scanning, efficient printing, cloud connectivity and a full suite of paper handling and finishing options.
The TASKalfa 308ci starts with a single paper tray and stand but can be expanded with additional paper trays and finishing options as your needs grow. Its size makes it a versatile choice, fitting comfortably between a desktop and a full-standing device—ensuring your business isn’t locked into a single configuration.
