Xerox AltaLink C8055
The model at a glance
The Xerox AltaLink C8055 is a professional A3/SRA3 laser colour multifunction printer, recommended for businesses, offices, graphic design agencies, marketing departments, stationery shops, light-duty copy shops, schools, public-sector organisations and in-house print centres that need high-quality colour printing, copying and scanning.
Among professional multifunction printers, Xerox is one of the most suitable brands for graphic work, colour accuracy and printing on heavy cardstock. The AltaLink C8055 is therefore particularly well suited to brochures, flyers, catalogues, covers, presentations, product sheets, invitations, advertising materials and documents with photographs, logos and gradients, as well as standard business documents.
Print speed: up to 55 pages per minute in black and white and up to 50 pages per minute in colour on A4 paper.
Functions: printing, copying, colour scanning and digital document sending. Fax is optional and depends on the installed configuration.
Duplex: automatic and integrated for printing, copying and scanning. It features a single-pass duplex document feeder that can scan both sides of a sheet in one pass.
Print resolution: up to 1,200 x 2,400 dpi. It offers superior colour quality compared with standard document multifunction printers and is suitable for reproducing photographs, gradients, logos, images, charts and promotional materials.
Supported formats: A6, A5, A4, A3, SRA3, envelopes and custom sizes up to approximately 320 x 483 mm. SRA3 allows you to print graphic materials with bleed for trimming.
Supported paper weights: up to approximately 300 g/m², depending on the tray and media type. It handles plain paper, compatible coated paper, glossy paper, cardstock, labels, envelopes, letterhead and other special media for laser printing.
ADF: 130-sheet single-pass duplex automatic document feeder, with scan speeds of up to approximately 139 images per minute. It is also suitable for quickly digitising contracts, files and large volumes of documents.
Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet, USB, printing from USB storage, Apple AirPrint, Mopria and NFC. Wi-Fi is not included as standard and can be added using an optional module.
Work volumes: suitable for offices with medium to medium-high print volumes, with a stated maximum duty cycle of up to approximately 300,000 pages per month.
Main consumables: Xerox black toner 006R01697, with an approximate yield of up to 26,000 pages; cyan 006R01698, magenta 006R01699 and yellow 006R01700 toner, each with an approximate yield of up to 15,000 pages per colour. Actual yields may vary depending on coverage, format and the type of document printed.
Maintenance components: Xerox drum 013R00662, with an approximate yield of up to 125,000 pages, and waste toner container 008R13061, with an approximate yield of up to 43,000 pages. The machine uses drums separate from the toner cartridges, making it easier to replace individual components and manage maintenance costs more efficiently.
Recommended use: one of the best choices for anyone looking for a professional A3 multifunction printer primarily for graphic work, colour quality, brochures, flyers, catalogues, covers and cardstock up to approximately 300 g/m². It is also highly capable for business documents, fast scanning and large workgroups. Compared with Kyocera, which is more focused on document printing, reliability and low maintenance costs, Xerox is best recommended when the customer prioritises graphic quality and handling heavy media.
