Konica Minolta Di201

The Konica Minolta Di2010 is another good, solid printer from the Konica range. It continues the trend of modular construction that allows the buyer to specify almost every option of the machine, right down to the type of print controller it uses.

This is a monochrome laser printer that can output up to 20 pages per minute day after day, week after week. Print quality is good in the default 600 dpi resolution. Monochrome blacks and grays are clear and well formed with the print controller using each of the 256 shades to great effect. There was no bleed or jagged edges on large text or images in any of our tests which used our standard 24 page test document with text, graphs and photos. It is designed to really put these machines though their paces.

The LCD screen and controls are simple and easy to use, with the screen being tiltable, and having a full QWERTY keyboard to boot. The screen is backlit and clear, with the ability to tilt it depending on height and sunlight. This is a neat touch and adds freedom of access for wheelchairs.

The upgrade options include optional duplexer, extra paper trays to take the total to 4000 sheets, document finisher, hard drive, memory upgrades, network scanner, print controller, auto reversing document feeder, and many more. This really is a tunable machine, which means it can grow with the office.

Once the machine is configured and installed it should give you no problems for a long time. The build quality is top-notch with everything feeling solid and durable. The paper trays are strong, and there are no flappy bits of flimsy pieces of plastic to be broken off. Konica have a reputation for reliability, which makes the after-sales service something of an unknown quantity. We have heard nothing negative from long term users so we imagine it’s all good.

The reasonable cost of the machine along with the low cost per page makes the Di2010 a good choice for the small business. With fast printing and good quality results, this is a great addition to the Minolta range.
