User Reviews for Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430 DL Printer

Reviewed by: Andrew

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Fast 21 Pages per min, color and BW. I use it for power point presentations and it sure is good enough. Printing at 21 ppm makes a big differance than 3 ppm with an ink jet.

Weaknesses: the initial toner cartridges are only going to print about 2,500 sheets at less than 5% coverage

Overall Evaluation: toner is expensive if you buy the three pack it's about $400 and the black is about $100. If I get 6,000 pages claimed it will be better than the ink jet I'm using. Time will tell, I paid $499 for the unit at sams.

What You Should Know about the Magicolor 5430 DL Printer

Duplex Printing a Must for Busy Offices

A printer with duplex capability contains an internal mechanism for turning the paper over to print on the other side. (This is not to be confused with the manual duplexing that some printers offer, where driver software walks you through the process of turning over the paper yourself.) Any high-volume office should seriously consider this feature. The duplexing process slows down your print job a bit, but it also immediately cuts your paper use in half -- good for your budget, good for the environment.
