Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP 7970 4 Roll Print System - 14D PPM 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 run a reprographics service bureau or print-for-pay shop producing 10,000+ D-size pages/month.
  • You need 14 D-size ppm production throughput — the 75 series tops out at 10 ppm.
  • You want all 4 rolls loaded for production runs without mid-job swaps.
  • You already run KIP System K and want the production tier on the same UI.
  • You have a separate scan station and want maximum print throughput on the floor.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 35,000 D-size pages/month — within range.
  • You don't have 73" of clear floor space — measure first.
  • You want Wi-Fi out of the box — optional adapter.
  • You're moving from an HP PageWide XL — toner workflow and per-page cost structure are different; budget 2–3 weeks for the operator switchover.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color — the KIP 970/980/990 production color tier is the right fit.
  • You print under 10,000 D-size pages/month — overbuilt; look at the 75 series.
  • You need integrated scan — get the 7980 (CIS) or 7990 (CCD).
  • You only need 2 rolls — the 75 series 2-roll configurations are more compact.
  • You don't have a KIP-authorized dealer — toner, parts, and System K are channel-only.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP 7970 4 Roll Print System - 14D PPM is a 4-roll mono production print system at 14 D-size ppm for reprographics service bureaus, print-for-pay shops, and high-volume AEC production teams of 30–100. It runs at 14 D-size ppm B&W at 600 x 2400 dpi, with 4 rolls (500 ft each, 11–36" widths) and a 12 inches touchscreen running KIP System K. The KIP 7970 4 Roll Print System - 14D PPM is the print-only variant of the KIP 79 G mono production platform — 14 D-size ppm, 5,040 sq ft/hour, 4-roll, 600 x 2400 dpi. The thing buyers regret: you went print-only and now need integrated scan — the 7980 or 7990 is the right tier. On the KIP 79 G monochrome production series, that's the trade you size around.

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.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 1 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging KIP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Good printer for our construction documents workflow, but the learning curve on the finishing options was steeper than expected. Once we got past that, the multi-roll capability really does save time on large batch jobs."

FAQ

KIP 7970 4 Roll Print System - 14D PPM, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (305) 594-0470 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the KIP 7970 4 Roll Print System - 14D PPM ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields approximately 11,200 square feet. The replacement toner model is the KIP 7970-103, a high-yield 700-gram cartridge designed for continuous production. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The KIP 7970 is a high-volume production printer with 4 rolls, 14 D-size ppm, and a 750,000-impression drum life, ideal for large teams. The KIP 7170 is a smaller MFP with 1 roll, 4 D-size ppm, and a lower volume capacity, suited for small offices. The 7970 lacks scanning, while the 7170 includes MFP functionality. For small offices, the KIP 7170 offers better value with integrated scanning and lower throughput.
The KIP 7970 is designed for high-volume environments (30–100 users) with its 14 D-size ppm speed and 4-roll capacity. Small businesses with lower print volumes may find it excessive. Consider a smaller model like the KIP 7170 or explore our commercial options for a better fit.
No, the KIP 7970 is a monochrome-only printer. For color wide-format printing, consider alternatives like the KIP C7800, KIP C7900, or HP DesignJet T830.
