Bought 2, both failed.......2007-06-03

Very good picture quality for a color laser unit but mechanically very cheap. First page printout is slow but speeds up for multiple copies. I bought 2 to use in my home office and both failed mechanically within 6 months. I would not consider Konica Minolta again due to the cheap quality.

Fantastic print quality. Looks like it came right from a professional photographer on all the colors. True color throughout.

My first post and I just felt that I had to write a positive review after seeing all the negatives. I got a refurbished one at a discounted rate (less than $150) a couple days ago. B/W text printing is amazing as usual for lasers; colour printing isn't bad at all (under 2400x600 dpi). Unless you look at it up close, you won't notice the pixels.

I don't have the printer long enough to really comment on it's build quality... however, I just want to point out that if you want to print on thick stock (anything > 24lb) you have to go into Printer Preferences and choose "thick stock" under the Paper tab. I just printed using a 32lb stock and it works fine! I noticed that under the "thick stock" setting, the paper feeds slower; presumably to prevent jamming.

Noise level is acceptable to me. The other laser printer I used was one from Samsung and they don't sound any different.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with it for the price I paid.

Good prints but too many problems.......2006-12-20

I bought it because it was cheap ($200); I thought it was less than the cost of the ink cartridge set but it needs a black cartridge after only a couple of thousand pages so, as another reviewer said, the cartridges must be "starter" cartridges. A full set of cartridges cost 50% more than the machine. Print quality is good, and it's fast when printing black-only. But it's noisy -- lots of loud clanking, like someone's inside with a hammer, and machinery whirring. There's no envelope feed so printing an envelope or 4x6 card requires removing paper stock and resetting paper guides; printing 4x6 cards produces jams, if they can print at all. The machine is discontinued so this is all academic now. I'll probably buy a black cartridge but when the color cartridges need replacement I'll probably replace the machine instead. At the time, I could have bought an HP color laser for $100 more; I should have. I've seen the HP operate -- smooth, quiet, with an envelope feed, easily the better buy.

Excellent value.......2006-12-16

I am very pleased with this printer. I've had it for about 6 months.

The print quality is excellent; photos are very good.

I have it under my desk, and do not find the noise particularly objectionable.
