bizhub C4001i — common questions
How much does the Konica Minolta bizhub C4001i cost in South Africa?
Pricing depends on your monthly print volume, colour vs mono mix, 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 C4001i 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 C4001i built for?
It suits higher-volume colour printing, recommended around 6,500 pages a month with headroom up to 120,000. If your volume is lower, the bizhub C3301i costs less to run. Tell us your monthly page count and we’ll recommend honestly rather than overselling.
Does the bizhub C4001i scan or copy as well as print?
No — this is a dedicated print-only device. If you need scanning, copying or faxing from the same machine, our colour multifunction copiers cover the same speed range with those functions built in.
