Advantages: Colour Print Speed, Print Quality, Network Ready, Fewer Consumables
Disadvantages: Lack of Seperate Paper Feed

This is Konica Minolta's first "in house" manufactured Printer, and the effort required to make a good first impression certainly shows. It is sturdy looking without being too utilitarian. Photo quality is good, there is room for improvement, but this would only be required/desired if you were perhaps involved in the graphics industry. At 2400dpi though, it certainly gives detailed enough photo's. I have seen Estate Agent Particulars printed with ...
...the 20 Colour PPM that Konica Minolta quote in their Specifications. The printer has stamina, with a duty cycle of 60K pages per month. This is quite enough for most small to medium sized offices. In my experience mostly Estate Agents and Schools purchase this Printer. The quick throughput and Network connectivity suits them perfectly. For a little over £300, you are getting a printer which gives performance way over what should be expected at ... Read review

Advantages: Small, excellent quality output, takes glossy paper and networkable too
Disadvantages: Slow to print in full colour

...good, in my opinion. Konica Minolta describe the print resolution as PhotoART-9600TM resolution (600 x 600 x 4) and I have to say that it's excellent. The printer weighs almost 20 kg, and takes only a few minutes to set up from the accompanying instructions and CD ROM. A huge benefit, not often seen in a printer at this price, is that apart from parallel and USB connections, the printer also comes with an ethernet connection. This means that it ...
...ethernet cable. Whilst this may sound a bit confusing, if you've got a home network you'll know that if a printer is connected to one PC, then even if you're using a different PC, the one that is connected to the printer must be turned on to enable you to print. Well, with this printer, if it's connected via the ethernet cable to the network, then you don't need to leave any other computers on - you simply print from the computer that you're using ...

Advantages: Fast, excellent print quality
Disadvantages: Too many limitations

The 5550 has excellent print quality and its quick. It should be, because it is sold as a high duty-cycle commercial machine suitable for networking etc. But it cannot handle glossy or thick stock in the lower paper trays, plus they have no availability for custom sizes in them either. So, you can have up to 3, 500 sheet paper trays, but you can only load them with plain A4 stock. The duplexer suffers the in the same way. The practical result of ...
...tray that holds only a maximum of 100 sheets. Then, if you want your beautiful photo-quality glossy brochure printed on both sides, you have to return to the printer, turn the paper over and start again. All in all a potentially great machine that suffers from poor design and lack of flexibility. Sadder still, this is a problem that appears to be suffered by the whole range ... Read review

Advantages: Value for money, excellent print quality, compact size
Disadvantages: Can only be used with Windows - no Mac or Linux drivers

...- though having had several Konica and/or Minolta products over the years, I have always found the products to be quality ones. The compact size of this printer is a huge bonus - not being much larger than an inkjet printer makes it easy to position in a convenient place (bearing in mind that it is very heavy!). I have mine set up on a (strong) shelf, which I had not expected to be able to do with a colour laser printer - as someone who works in ...
...weight!) of small fridges, so the dimensions of the Magicolor were a very pleasant surprise! Ease of use is also a big plus - the operator panel is easy to see and interpret, and getting to the cartridges is a doddle. Looking into the prices of replacement cartridges for similiar small, personal colour laser printers, I found that replacement cartridges for this printer were the cheapest, which was also one of the things that sold me on it. The ... Read review

Advantages: ONE CLICK PRINT AND FOR OFFICE USE.
Disadvantages: BIG.

...use and professional functions. The hp printer is the best among all the printers that I have come across because of the efficiency and innovative features. It is also the laser printer type and it has marvelous color productions. This is my favorite printer in terms of office use and it is quite durable and strong. Its range of features is quite vast and on the other hand, it is very easy with company's helpful support. But for your information, ...
...among all the printers. The HP printer comes in a large white colour about 25.4m tall and heavy. Very easy to install and use. But instruction should be a better guide for installation. Quite durable and strong and have not gotten any repairs since in use. It has a lot of connectivity like the USB port that links the computer and the printer. The HP printer has wide range of features and I will recommend this to offices and can also be used in ... Read review
