Konica Minolta MagiColor 2300DL
The Konica Minolta MagiColor 2300DL is still going strong after many years in production. Before it came along, consumers had three choices. Either spend money on an inkjet for decent color output, a mono laser and do without color, or save up and spend a considerable amount on a color laser printer. The 2300DL is the ideal middle ground. It offers good quality printing at a remarkably reasonable price.
It comes with an Ethernet port as standard for sharing on the network, which makes for a very flexible package. To add to flexibility, there is the option of adding a duplexer, a second paper cassette and even a copying and scanning unit to the 2300DL to make it a multifunction.
There is a 200 sheet capacity paper drawer and a 10 sheet manual feed slot.
This printer will work straight out of the box. Installation is a breeze and will have you up and running in minutes rather than the hours some printers take. The package contains everything needed to print different sized documents on differing media. The straight out of the box line was no exaggeration either. The toner cartridges are pre-installed so there is no fiddling around there.
The starter cartridges are good for around 3000 pages, and the replacements 4500. This model uses a drum which is a departure, as other models used an integrated cartridge/drum all in one. Luckily replacements have a duty cycle of 45000 sheets before needing a change.
The print speed isn’t the fastest on the market at an average of 15 pages per minute for a mixed document of color and mono. However, the print quality is what makes this printer something special.
The polymerized toner gives everything a nice sheen when it’s printed. All text and images were sharp, precise and evenly toned. Even a photograph, which gives so many laser printers pause, came out looking great. Almost as good as an inkjet could produce.
While not the fastest printer, the 2300DL produces prints of such quality as to make it well worth the cost. A color laser printer that produces images almost as good as a decent inkjet isn’t to be sniffed at.
