Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP 870 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 an A&E firm, civil engineer, or contractor that needs to scan existing drawings and reprint them — daily.
  • You print 2,000–8,000 D-size pages a month, mixed mono and color.
  • You want one MFP that handles plots, color renderings, and red-line scanning on a single 12" touchscreen.
  • You want the integrated KIP 720 CIS scanner so the scanner doesn't take a separate footprint.
  • You already run KIP System K software and want a consistent UI across the floor.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 12,000 D-size pages a month — it handles it, but the 880 (4-roll) reduces media swaps.
  • You need to scan thick or rigid originals — the 720 CIS feeds face-down and handles up to 0.06" thickness; thicker originals need the 720 CCD on the 890.
  • You want Wi-Fi — wireless is optional, not standard.
  • You're switching from an HP DesignJet — KIP's LED toner workflow is different from inkjet; expect a 2–3 week color-profile ramp.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You only print B&W and never scan color — the mono KIP 7170 is half the price.
  • You print over 12,000 D-size pages a month — the 880 or 890 (4-roll) is the right call.
  • You need a CCD scanner for high-fidelity color reproduction of fine originals — the 890 (with KIP 2300 CCD) is the right tier.
  • You don't have a KIP dealer relationship — toner and service are channel-only.
  • You need 14 ppm production speed — this is 10 ppm B&W; the KIP 79 series is the production tier.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP 870 is a color wide-format MFP for A&E firms and repro shops of 8–30 that need in-house color plotting plus daily wide-format scanning. 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 870 is the multifunction version of the 850 — same 10/8 ppm engine, same chassis, but with the integrated KIP 720 CIS scanner so you can scan, copy, and reprint wide-format originals on one machine. The thing buyers regret: you went 2-roll and find yourself swapping media every other day — the 880 (4-roll) avoids the swaps. 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.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging KIP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "We've had the KIP 870 in our architecture firm for about two years now and it handles our large format prints without any issues. Color accuracy is solid and the speed keeps up with our deadlines."
  • "The 870 works well for our construction documents, though the paper feed can jam occasionally if you're not careful with heavier stocks. Otherwise reliable and the warm-up time is reasonable."
  • "Running this in a small print shop and it's been a workhorse. Good throughput, minimal downtime, and the toner cartridge costs aren't unreasonable compared to competitors in this class."
