User Reviews for Konica Minolta MAGICOLOR 2200

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: I do not need high color matching, but crisp color. I'm satisfied with color capability when it works.

    Weaknesses: Most of the time it does not work! I have to send even the most simplest files many times to get it to print and sometimes it won't print at all. I also have to turn printer off often to reset it.

    Overall Evaluation: This has been a terrible printer. The first one, I got replaced after a month. This one also has similar problems and I now want a different model or purchase an HP. I have had it! We have loaded too many driver/firmware updates. Recommended file size can't even be obtained from QMS customer service level 1.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Nice picture and text quality, not too slow, setup fairly easy, cheap!

    Weaknesses: Can not use glossy paper, only semi gloss. Minolta Color matching (default) looks bad. Print server software didnt work with win98 correctly, works fine with 2000 server.

    Overall Evaluation: This is an impressive color laser for the price, picture quality is close to a xerox 860 (2x the $). Its not the fastest printer but it comes close to the advertised 5ppm color. Only downside I see to it so far is the cost of supplies is more then ink stick type printers. Much better option then an ink jet.
