Konica Minolta magicolor 2500W Review

Friday, December 8th, 2006

The Konica Minolta magicolor 2500W isn’t the first $300 (okay, $299 direct) color laser I’ve looked at—that honor belongs to the HP Color LaserJet 1600. But it still earns big points for its low price. In fact, much of the printer’s appeal rests squarely on that price; though its speed and output quality are acceptable, [...]

Konica Minolta magicolor 7450 Review

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Laser printers have lots of advantages over ink jets—speed, a cheaper cost per page, and no nozzles to clog, to name three. But no one has ever accused them of matching ink jets for photo quality.

Konica Minolta PagePro 1390 MF

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

If you wanted to build the ideal personal all-in-one (AIO) suitable for use in any size office, you might start with a small monochrome laser printer and mount a letter-size flatbed scanner on top of it. Next, you’d throw in a built-in fax modem, control panel, and 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF)—and you’d wind up [...]
