Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP 980 4 Roll MFP Color Print System - 16D 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 print, scan, and copy D-size and run 8,000+ sq ft a month.
  • You need cloud, SMB, and email scan destinations for distributed teams.
  • You stock 3 or 4 media widths and need 4-roll auto-switching.
  • You scan mostly line drawings and standard color work — the 720 CIS handles those cleanly.
  • You're a print-for-pay shop, in-plant reprographer, or large AEC firm.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your shop runs lower-volume some weeks but peaks at production scale.
  • It's fine if you want one machine to replace a separate printer-plus-scanner pairing.
  • It's fine if Ethernet wired networking is your standard.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you scan color photographic originals at high volume — get the 990 with the CCD 2300.
  • Skip this if you don't scan wide-format — get the print-only 970.
  • Skip this if your volume is under 5,000 sq ft a month — the 12/10 ppm 785C costs less.
  • Skip this if you need duplex wide-format.
  • Skip this if you don't have the floor space and power for a production-class machine.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP 980 (SYS980K) is the multifunction version of the 970: 16 D-size color and 20 D-size B&W per minute, 4 rolls, plus the integrated KIP 720 CIS scanner with cloud, SMB, and email scan destinations. 12-inch or 15.6-inch multi-touch smart screen, KIP ImagePro software, LED electrophotography with CMYK dry toner, 600 x 1,800 dpi. This is the print, scan, copy production workhorse for in-plant shops, large AEC firms, and reprographers running 8,000+ sq ft a month with active wide-format scanning. The 1 thing buyers regret: assuming the 720 CIS scanner is the same quality as the CCD 2300 on the 990. For day-to-day technical drawings, redlines, and standard color work the 720 is excellent and fast. For high-volume color photographic scanning or production scanning where image fidelity is part of the product you sell, the 990 with the CCD 2300 is the right pick. For most production AEC environments the 980 is the sweet spot.

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 2 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging KIP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Good machine overall for our architecture firm. The multifunction features work well and it handles large format documents without issues. Wish the interface was a bit more intuitive, took some time to get all the settings right."
  • "Replaced an older system with this KIP 980 and the difference is noticeable. 16D PPM is legit fast for color, and having 4 rolls reduces downtime significantly. Support from our vendor has been responsive too."
