Kyocera M8124cidn vs M8130cidn A3 Multifunction Printers — Compare Features & Choose the Right Fit

If you’re looking for a robust A3 colour multifunction printer for your office or business, Kyocera’s ECOSYS range offers excellent performance and economical running costs. We currently have both the Kyocera ECOSYS M8124cidn A3 Colour Multifunction Printer and Kyocera ECOSYS M8130cidn A3 Colour Multifunction Printer available with a free genuine TK8119 C/M/Y/K Toner Set included until 31 March 2026 — a rare value add for A3 colour devices.

Below we’ll break down the key similarities and differences — especially print speed and workflow — so you can decide which model better matches your document demands, without simply saying one is “better”.

Quick Overview: What These Kyocera A3 MFPs Are

Both printers use Kyocera’s long-lasting ECOSYS technology — known for reliable laser printing, durable internal components, and low waste over a long service life. They both handle colour and black-and-white printing up to A3 size and support scanning, copying, and optional faxing.

The main distinction between them is their rated print speed: the M8124cidn is around 24 ppm, while the M8130cidn is faster at around 30 ppm (A4, colour and mono). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Side-by-Side Feature Comparison

Both share the same robust ECOSYS platform (long-life drum, economical toner usage, expandability with extra trays), and both benefit from standard 3-year onsite warranty support — valuable for busy offices that can’t afford downtime. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Which Model Suits Your Workflow?

The key practical difference you’ll notice day-to-day is speed and throughput. If your printing is mostly daily colour/A4 documents mixed with occasional A3 posters or plans, both get the job done well. The M8130cidn’s higher rated speed can be more comfortable in busier environments or workflow peaks.

• M8124cidn: great choice for standard office environments where printing volume is steady, and peak throughput is moderate.
• M8130cidn: ideal for higher volume offices, design studios, or departments where faster printing speeds help maintain productivity.

Free Genuine Toner Set (Until 31 March 2026)

For a limited time, both printers come with a genuine Kyocera toner set included — typically worth hundreds on its own (black up to ~12,000 pages; colours up to ~6,000 pages each at 5% coverage). :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} This makes stocking up now an excellent value proposition, especially if you plan to print high volumes in the first months of ownership.

Typical Use-Case Scenarios

• Professional offices: regular A4 and occasional A3 printing for presentations, reports, and signage
• Architect, engineering, or design teams: frequent A3 prints where speed and throughput can matter
• Education or training departments: multi-page colour handouts and charts
• Government or agency teams: reliable long-life components with economical running costs
