===The Features ===
Well it is a colour laser printer, print quality is excellent. The paper tray is large holding approx 100 sheets which eliminates the constant refilling that so many inkjets suffer from. The printer has a network interface so that it can be easily shared as well as the standard parallel and USB conneections.

The Product
The printer itself has a fairly small footprint it is about 19 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 18 inches high. The unit is predominatly a greyish cream colour with a dark blue top section. It looks quite good on a desk.

Consumables
To replace all the toner expect to pay over £200 (4 toner cartridges). Ouch.
The Priniting
Printing on these is slow. Very slow. It suggests on the manufacturers site that you can expect 5 ppm in colour. Rubbish. If you get 3 pages you are doing well. This printer also suffers from unexplained errors. there is a single error light which occasionally comes on. 9 times out of 10 opening and closing the lid solves this.
The quality of print is excellent and for small scale printing this offers a reasonable choice. however if you are oinly small scale printing I have to ask whether an inkjet would be a better buy.

Manufacturer's product description
The Magicolor 2450 is an ultra-compact color laser PostScript compatible printer that delivers the best graphical performance in its class. Fast and with superb print quality, it's the ideal solution for the demanding, graphics-intense workloads of a small to medium-sized workgroup. Size is no guarantee of strength, as the Magicolor 2450 demonstrates perfectly. Taking up little space on a desk, it prints at 5 pages per minute in color and 20 pages per minute in mono, with first page printout in just 12 seconds. The Magicolor 2450 utilizes 600 x 600 x 4 dpi Photo ART contone technology for unrivalled print quality. Print quality and consistency is further refined through the use of Simitri polymerized toners and eAIDC (enhanced Automatic Image Density Control). The result is photo-quality prints from a small printer that have to be seen to be believed. Power is delivered by means of an Emperon controller. This provides superb compatibility and versatility, allowing printing from any major application and environment. Still more power comes in the form of rapid page processing and 128 MB RAM, allowing you to speed through heavy print jobs in no time.
