Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're shopping refurb and want 50 ppm A3 color cheap.
  • You print 22,000-32,000 pages a month for an 80-150 person team.
  • You scan high volume on a 150-sheet single-pass DADF.
  • You want the 10.1-inch touchscreen and Canon fleet consistency.
  • You can inspect meter counts and budget for wear-part service.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you tolerate 800,000-plus on the meter at delivery.
  • It's fine if you budget for fuser and feed-roller service early.
  • It's fine if you skip the latest cloud connectors.
  • It's fine if you run uniFLOW or PaperCut for cost recovery.
  • It's fine if you accept refurb-only availability.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if a 1.5 million-page meter scares you — get the count first.
  • Skip this if you need TLS 1.3 or current security.
  • Skip this if a Brother MFC-L2759DW covers monochrome needs.
  • Skip this if your monthly volume tops 40,000 pages.
  • Skip this if you need production color quality.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i is the original 50 ppm A3 color MFP in the C5500 line, the volume seller before the II and III refreshes and still common on refurb. The 10.1-inch touchscreen, 1,200-sheet base paper input, 6,350-sheet ceiling, and 150-sheet single-pass DADF carry across the line, with 1200 x 1200 dpi color and the imageRUNNER ADVANCE menu. The engine is the same Canon refined into the III chassis, so daily print quality holds. For a price-sensitive buyer hunting refurb inventory, the original C5550i is one of the better paths to 50 ppm A3 color with the 150-sheet DADF. Compared to a Brother MFC-L2759DW it's a department-class A3 unit. The 150-sheet DADF runs 270 ipm duplex, warm-up takes about 30 seconds, and standard memory is 4 GB with a 250 GB HDD supporting hold-and-release jobs. The regret buyers report: 50 ppm pulls real duty cycle, so refurb units commonly arrive with 1.2-1.5 million pages on the meter — get the count and inspect feed rollers and fusers before committing.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
