Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP 850 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 small architecture, engineering, or design shop and need in-house color plotting — site plans, presentation boards, renderings.
You print 1,500–6,000 D-size pages a month — mostly B&W with regular color jobs.
You want one machine that handles both mono drawings and color renderings without swapping rolls.
You have wall space against a flat 60-inch chassis and want front stacking to keep the footprint tight.
You already use KIP System K software or want to standardize a small fleet on KIP's 12" touchscreen workflow.

Works fine

You'll be happy if...

You need a scanner — the 850 is print-only. Add the KIP 720 CIS scanner kit, or step up to the 870 (multifunction).
You print over 6,000 D-size pages a month — the machine handles it, but the 870/880 throughput per square foot is more economical.
You want Wi-Fi — wireless is an optional adapter, not standard.
You're new to LED-array color toner — color is consistent but expect a 2–3 week ramp on calibration and media profiles.

Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

You only print B&W — the mono KIP 7170 is the right call; you're paying for color toner you'll never use.
You need 14 D-size ppm production speed — this is 10 ppm B&W. Look at the KIP 79 series.
You need 4-roll capacity — the 850 is 2-roll only. Step up to the 880 or 890.
You need scan-to-network and full MFP workflow — get the 870 (with scanner) instead.
You don't have a KIP-authorized service contract — KIP toner and parts are dealer-channel, not retail.

Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP 850 is a color wide-format print system for design firms, A&E shops, and reprographics teams of 5–25. It runs at 10 D-size ppm B&W / 8 D-size ppm color at 600 x 2400 dpi, with 2 rolls (500 ft each, 11–36" widths) and a 12 inches touchscreen running KIP System K. The 850 is the entry point in KIP's 800 color series — same engine as the 870/880/890 (10 ppm B&W, 8 ppm color, 600 x 2400 dpi LED array), but print-only and 2-roll. It's what A&E shops buy when they want in-house color plots without paying for a scanner they won't use. The thing buyers regret: you bought a print-only model and later wanted scan/copy — step up to the KIP 870 or 880. On the KIP 800 color 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.

★ "We use this for our architecture firm and it handles large format prints without any issues. The speed is solid and color accuracy has been reliable for client presentations."

FAQ

KIP 850, 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.

Does the KIP 850 include toner?

Yes, the KIP 850 ships with a starter toner cartridge. Each CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) toner cartridge contains 1,000 grams of toner, providing a total system capacity of 4,000 grams. These high-yield cartridges are designed for continuous print runs, reducing the frequency of replacements. Replacement toner uses the KIP 800 Series (KT-800) cartridges. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

What is the difference between the KIP 850 and KIP 71 Series?

The KIP 850 is a color wide-format print system with a speed of 10 D-size ppm in black and white and 8 D-size ppm in color, while the KIP 71 Series is a monochrome wide-format MFP with speeds of 4 or 6 D-size ppm. The KIP 850 is print-only with 2 rolls, whereas the KIP 71 Series includes an integrated CIS color scanner for print, copy, and scan functions. The KIP 850 is ideal for design firms needing color output, while the KIP 71 Series is suited for architects and engineers who require monochrome printing with scanning capabilities. For small offices needing color and scanning, the KIP 870 or 880 would be a better fit.

Is the KIP 850 good for a small business?

The KIP 850 is well-suited for small design firms, A&E shops, and reprographics teams of 5–25 users, offering a monthly duty cycle of up to 648,000 impressions. With speeds of 10 D-size ppm in black and white and 8 D-size ppm in color, it efficiently handles both mono and color printing needs. Its 2-roll capacity and 12-inch touchscreen with KIP System K make it a versatile choice for businesses producing 1,500–6,000 D-size pages monthly.

Can the KIP 850 print in color?

Yes, the KIP 850 is a color wide-format print system capable of printing in both color and black and white. It runs at 10 D-size ppm in black and white and 8 D-size ppm in color at a resolution of 600 x 2400 dpi. This makes it ideal for design firms and A&E shops that require high-quality color plots and renderings.

How do I get a quote on the KIP 850?

Request a quote through the form on this page or call us at (305) 594-0470. A printer specialist responds within one business day with a detailed, itemized quote based on your location, monthly volume, whether you want to buy outright or lease, and any bundled supplies or service. Quotes are free and no obligation. We do not pull credit to issue a quote.

What warranty does the KIP 850 come with?

KIP includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the KIP 850 when purchased new from an authorized reseller. Barlop Business Systems is an authorized KIP reseller. Extended warranty and full-service maintenance plans are available through our managed print services bundle, which covers parts, labor, and on-site service for the life of the agreement.
