bizhub 4051i — common questions
How much does the Konica Minolta bizhub 4051i cost in South Africa?
Pricing depends on your monthly print volume and whether you lease or buy outright. We quote both side by side so you can compare the total cost over the contract term. Send us your monthly page count and we'll come back with a firm figure.
Can I lease the bizhub 4051i instead of buying it?
Yes — most of our customers lease, with a fixed monthly cost for the machine, and toner and servicing billed per page printed (cost per copy). We'll quote lease and purchase side by side so you can compare the total cost over the term rather than just the upfront number.
What monthly print volume is the bizhub 4051i built for?
It suits moderate mono volumes, recommended around 6,500 pages a month with headroom up to 120,000. If you need higher security features with less volume, the 4020i costs less to run; if you need more speed, the 4751i or 5021i are the next step up. Tell us your monthly page count and we'll recommend honestly rather than overselling.
Does the bizhub 4051i scan and fax as well as print and copy?
Yes — it's a full multifunction device. Print, copy, colour scanning and optional Super G3 fax are all available on the same machine.
