Kyocera Launches New Monochrome Inkjet Printer
Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc. has spent five years leading the color production inkjet market. Starting today, it's coming for monochrome. Say hello to the TASKalfa Pro 15000b, Kyocera’s new monochrome commercial inkjet printer.
The TASKalfa Pro 15000b is built on the same proven inkjet platform as the TASKalfa Pro 15000c, the device that has held the #1 position in U.S. cut-sheet production inkjet for five straight years. It delivers up to 3 million images a month, runs up to 172 images per minute, and pairs that throughput with a total cost of ownership that makes high-volume monochrome production genuinely affordable.
"The TASKalfa Pro 15000c showed what Kyocera inkjet can do in color. Now we're bringing that same inkjet platform, that same reliability, and that same quality to monochrome, and we're doing it at a price point that opens production inkjet to a whole new set of customers," said Dustin Graupman, Senior Director of Kyocera's Inkjet Division. "We believe the TASKalfa Pro 15000b will revolutionize the industry, and we’re excited to bring it to market.”
The TASKalfa Pro 15000c didn't become the market leader by accident. It's built on Kyocera's own ceramic inkjet printheads, which have been a staple in the industry since the early 00s. The TASKalfa Pro 15000b runs on that same foundation.
- High speeds up to 172 ipm (B&W).
- Ink Calculator for monitoring and estimating costs.
- Unmatched TCO for your production environment.
- Incredible reliability and low maintenance.
The TASKalfa Pro 15000b is the latest step in a year that has already seen significant momentum for Kyocera's inkjet division. Earlier in 2026, Kyocera expanded the TASKalfa Pro 15000c's capabilities with new accessories developed alongside key industry partners. Recently, the company also announced IDC Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker – 2025 Q4 Final Historical data placed Kyocera at #1 in the market for five consecutive years. Kyocera also won Company To Watch at the Inkjet Summit, for the second consecutive year. And, no wonder, development continues on the TASKalfa Pro Tandem, two 15000c engines on one platform, and the TASKalfa Pro 55000c, Kyocera's next-generation cut-sheet inkjet press.
"2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for us," said Graupman. "The TASKalfa Pro 15000b is going to support a lot of businesses in our industry, helping them to do more for less. We're proud to continue helping businesses and make Inkjet For All.”
Attendees of PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas will see the TASKalfa Pro 15000b in person. If you can’t wait till then, reach out to Kyocera directly.
