bizhub 4221i — common questions
How much does the Konica Minolta bizhub 4221i 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 4221i 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 4221i built for?
It suits light to moderate mono volumes, recommended around 5,000 pages a month with headroom up to 100,000. If you need higher volumes, the 4751i or 5021i cost less to run at scale. Tell us your monthly page count and we'll recommend honestly rather than overselling.
Does the bizhub 4221i scan and fax as well as print and copy?
Yes — it's a full multifunction device. Print, copy, scan and Super G3 fax are all built in as standard.
