User Reviews for Konica Minolta Magicolor 2450 Color Laser

  • Reviewed by: kyletreece

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Color picture quality decent

    Weaknesses: LOUD, customer service is horrendous if you have a problem, does not play well with a Macintosh

    Overall Evaluation: I researched a host of color laser printers, and found that this particular model was rated highly by critics. Purchased it. Yes, it's a great printer, if you don't mind several loud booming, crashing, sounds before your documents are ready to print. And the printing isn't quick, either. When I say loud, I mean LOUD, like my neighbors complained to my landlord when I used it, like shaking the table it's on - yeah, that loud. Customer service was a joke when I had a problem and actually was hung up on because there was "no supervisor on duty." You cannot default to a B/W mode, you have to choose B/W each and every time before you print. Avoid Konica-Minolta and the Magicolor printers altogether. Trust me.
