35ppm Colour & Mono | Print Only | Gigabit Ethernet | Auto Duplex | AirPrint | Mopria | 1200 x 1200 dpi
The Kyocera ECOSYS PA3500CX is a compact A4 colour laser printer designed for workgroups that need fast, reliable colour output without the bulk or cost of a multifunction device. Printing at 35 pages per minute in both colour and mono at 1200 x 1200 dpi, it matches colour speed to monochrome — eliminating the speed penalty that affects many colour laser printers when switching between print modes. The PA3500CX ships with automatic duplex and a 600-sheet standard paper input (100-sheet multipurpose tray plus 500-sheet cassette), expandable to 2,100 sheets with optional feeders. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet as standard, with Wi-Fi available as an option, plus AirPrint, Mopria, and Kyocera Mobile Print for mobile device printing. Built on Kyocera's ECOSYS long-life component platform, the PA3500CX is designed to keep running costs and service frequency low across sustained workgroup use.

Compatibility note: The Kyocera ECOSYS PA3500CX uses the TK-5374 toner series. Do not order TK-5282, TK-5292, TK-5294, or TK-5372 cartridges — these are designed for different Kyocera models and are not compatible with the PA3500CX. Always verify compatibility at time of purchase.
Who Is the Kyocera ECOSYS PA3500CX Best Suited For?
The PA3500CX suits workgroups that need fast, reliable colour printing at A4 without the cost or footprint of a multifunction device — particularly where a separate scanner or MFP already handles copy and scan duties.
Small to Medium Business
SMEs with regular colour print requirements benefit from the PA3500CX's equal colour and mono speed, removing the wait-time penalty common on lower-spec colour printers. The 600-sheet paper input and optional expansion to 2,100 sheets keeps the device stocked for busy shared printing without constant tray refills.
Real Estate
Real estate offices printing colour property brochures, agency agreements, and marketing materials in-house will find the PA3500CX a practical fit. At 35 ppm in colour, it keeps up with the turnaround demands of a busy office without the per-page costs of outsourcing.
Marketing & Creative Teams
In-house marketing teams producing colour presentations, proofing materials, and client-facing documents benefit from the PA3500CX's 1200 x 1200 dpi output and consistent colour accuracy. The compact footprint makes it practical for office environments where space is at a premium.
Accounting & Financial Services
Accounting practices and financial planners printing colour-coded reports, client statements, and compliance documents will find the TK-5374K's 7,000-page Black yield keeps per-page costs in check on predominantly text-heavy jobs, while colour cartridges support presentation-quality outputs when needed.
Legal Offices
Legal offices requiring colour-coded briefs, exhibit covers, and client documents benefit from the PA3500CX's resolution and Private Print security feature, ensuring sensitive documents are only released at the device panel by the intended user.
Medical & Allied Health
Clinics and health practices that print colour patient information materials, referral letters, and administrative correspondence need a dependable, fast printer without unnecessary complexity. The PA3500CX's ECOSYS long-life components and straightforward operation suit environments where IT support is limited.
Education
Schools and training organisations printing colour course materials, certificates, and administrative documents benefit from the PA3500CX's speed and expandable paper capacity. AirPrint and Mopria support allow staff and students to print directly from mobile devices without driver installation.
Technology & IT Businesses
IT services firms and tech businesses that produce colour proposals, technical documentation, and client deliverables will value the PA3500CX's network security features — including SSL, IPsec, and SNMPv3 — alongside its Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for fast, reliable network integration.
Why Choose the Kyocera ECOSYS PA3500CX?
The PA3500CX's defining characteristic is its equal colour and mono print speed. At 35 ppm in both modes, it removes the speed penalty that affects most colour laser printers — where switching to colour output can drop throughput by 30–50%. For workgroups that regularly mix colour and mono print jobs, this consistency translates directly to less waiting and more predictable output times across a busy shared print queue.
The TK-5374 toner series keeps consumable costs manageable. The Black cartridge at 7,000 pages and colour cartridges at 5,000 pages each sit at the higher end of the page-yield range for compact A4 colour laser printers. For a team printing a mix of mono and colour, fewer cartridge changes means lower purchasing overhead and less time managing consumable stock. The ECOSYS platform's long-life drum and developer components also reduce service frequency compared to conventional laser printer designs, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the device's working life.
For reliable toner supply with fast delivery across Australia, CartridgesDirect stocks the full range of toner cartridges for the PA3500CX — including all four TK-5374 colours. Keeping a spare set on hand ensures the printer stays running without delays when a cartridge runs low.
