Konica Minolta MagiColor 5440DL

The MagiColor 5440DL holds plenty of paper and prints good text, but it came up short on speed and image printing.

Konica Minolta magicolor 5440 DL Color Laser Printer (27 PPM, 2400x600 DPI, Color, PC/Mac/Linux)

Artwork: Rick Rizner, Chris Manners

Low per-page costs ; Superb text prints

Sluggish print speeds

Good text printing, low per-page costs, and a large main paper tray. PictBridge option is expensive, but may appeal to some.

Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430DL Printer

Like many of the color laser models we've seen, the $999 Konica Minolta MagiColor 5430DL is bulky and cubical in shape. Unlike most of its competitors at this price, this model relies on your PC's CPU to render the pages.

Text prints looked sharp and well formed

Slow text output speed ; Mediocre color printing

Despite the 5430DL's being a host-based printer, installing it on our network at the PC World Test Center was easy enough. You can tie it to a single PC through its USB 2.0 port, as well. The installation guide and general-information guide are printed...

Minolta-QMS Magicolor 2300 DL

WHAT'S HOT: The 2300 DeskLaser costs a mere $799--less than half the price of the next-cheapest recent color laser--so even individual buyers may find it affordable. But don't assume that a low price means a poor printer. The 2300DL gave us solid black...

Even individuals can afford the 2300 DeskLaser--but it's enough printer to support a small workgroup.

Minolta-QMS Magicolor 2300 DeskLaser

The 2300 DeskLaser is the least-expensive color laser printer we've ever tested, but it's surprisingly capable.

QMS Magicolor 2 DeskLaser

Inexpensive enough for a solo graphic designer working from home, but equipped well enough for any office workgroup.

Minolta-QMS magicolor 2300DL

For starters, the Minolta-QMS magicolor 2300DL is $200 less than the HP model, and it includes an Ethernet connection. Yet the 2300DL manages to provide slightly better performance and output quality. It also offers easier printer control, thanks to an...

Konica Minolta magicolor 5440 DL

If you're familiar with the Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL, you know it can serve as a high-end personal color laser. And the first thing you need to know about the magicolor 5440 DL ($1,300 street) is that it's not some minor upgrade to the 5430, as...

Fast performance. Quality is among the best for text and photos (for a color laser). Ample 600-sheet paper capacity, expandable to 1,600 sheets

Graphics quality is only middling for color lasers. The optional duplexer raises the price by nearly a third

The Konica Minolta magicolor 5440 DL is a potential workhorse printer for a small office or workgroup, with a default 600-sheet paper capacity, a maximum of 1,600 sheets, and an optional duplexer. It also offers fast performance, top color-laser...

Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL

If the Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL ($999 direct) were about $200 less expensive, it would be a strong contender for a new Editors' Choice in our personal color laser printer category. At it's actual price, however, it's merely a reasonable choice...

Good performance. Excellent text quality. Includes Ethernet port. Paper handling options include duplexer and trays for a maximum 1250 sheet capacity

Graphics and photo quality are at the low end of the range for color lasers. Support for legal-size paper requires optional paper tray

The Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL offers good performance and reasonably capable paper handling options, with a maximum 1250-sheet capacity with duplexing. However, output quality is mixed. Text quality is excellent but graphics and photo quality...

Konica Minolta Magicolor 5440 DL

The Magicolor 5440 DL is a colour laser aimed at the small workgroup environment. With its balance of quality and speed, this could be the colour laser printer you're looking for.

The Magicolor 5440 DL is on the large side and time consuming to unpack and expensive, but you'll quickly forgive it these facts thanks to its high quality output and decent turn of speed. If you're in the market for a colour laser for a small office,...
