Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The magicolor 1600W is a personal color laser printer for home or office. Stylish and compact, it measures a mere 15.6" x 15" and uses the smallest workspace of any color laser thanks to its fold away trays and total front panel accessibility. Yet this super small printer offers big features. Windows compatible, the magicolor 1600W sports a USB 2.0 interface for a quick direct connection. Printing is fast at 20 ppm BandW and 5 ppm color, and with a monthly maximum print volume of 35,000 pages, you can count on it in a crunch. The printer uses 1200 x 600 dpi resolution along with Simitri HD Polymerized Toner to create outstanding color prints that won't ever fade or smear--and cost just pennies a page. Easy to use, small and quick, the magicolor 1600W personal color laser printer is made just for you.

Compact And Stylish Design

Space will not be an issue for the magicolor 1600W. This printer is the smallest color laser printer ever offered from Konica Minolta. Its small footprint, which is one of the smallest in the industry, will leave more working space at your desktop. As another benefit, the paper input and output trays can be closed when printer is not in use to minimize space even more.

Smallest Workspace

The 1600W offers the smallest workspace when compared to other color laser printers. Competitive models require space for pulling out the paper input tray, side air flow ventilation or for paper jam access at the rear of the printer.

Simitri HD Toner

Simitri HD polymerized toner produces exceptional output. Its particles are smaller and more uniform in size and shape than conventional pulverized toner, providing smoother, more natural images; richer gradation and sharper text.

Environmental Friendliness

Simitri HD toner operates at a much lower temperature--saves up to 15% energy. The production of Simitri HD toner emits 40% less pollutants than the production of conventional pulverized toners. Toner cartridges are included in the Clean Planet Program--return empty cartridges to Konica Minolta free of charge where 99% of the cartridge mass is recycled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome December 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
DECEMBER 18, 2009: Printer just arrived. I'm printing tickets in b&w and passes with photos in color. And I'm also making signs with a vinyl cutter. So, I print a sheet of tickets in b&w. beautiful. Now I try printing the passes with the color photo. THE COLOR PHOTO ON WHITE CARD STOCK CAME OUT WAY BETTER THAN MY INKJET ON PHOTO PAPER! WOW. Blown away. OK, now I'm getting reckless. I cut a piece of sign vinyl 8x11 and put it in. I'm thinking the fuser could melt the vinyl and my brand new printer could turn to umhm in seconds. Or would rub off. Nope, it printed beautifully and fused just fine to the vinyl. It's not often you buy something and it turns out way better than you expected.

One more thing: Did you check the price of the toners for this thing? That's right, $270 for all four toners. Or $370 for the high capacity toners. They are selling this printer for a loss, hoping to make it back on the toners. Well, Konica Minolta folks, don't read this, but I'm buying another one just for the toners. (and the drum $89) (and the fuser unit $110) (and having a spare printer instead of buying the extended warranty $119) I don't think switching starter toners from one printer to another will work. You just have to switch printers.

UPDATE 1. April 12, 2010: The low toner light came on for the black after about 300 pages. after printing another 150-200 pages the printer stopped. (out of black toner) I didn't have time to try the toner refill kit, so I put in a high-capacity black toner ($79) and everything is fine.

UPDATE 2. November 19, 2010: still on the original color toners. I'm getting ready to print a big color pass order for a film festival. OOPS: loaded a sheet of sign vinyl upside down, wrecked the fuser roller. Must I order a new fuser for $109.95 plus 9.

This is a great value for the money and the print quality is fantastic. I was also impressed by the speed. It used to cost about $500 for a decent color laserjet, so to get one for $150 or less is great. It is similar in size and quality to ones that we use at my work (I work in a law office). I did have some big problems initially, so I have to subtract a star for that. The setup was fairly easy- you basically remove all the packaging and connect the usb and power cord. The driver install was OK, but I was disappointed that I did not get any "driver install successful message" or any prompt for a test page. I went to print a photo and got a flashing orange "error" light. I had to run a 2nd program which they include that told me that status of the printer was "memory full". I kept getting a "memory full" error no matter how small the file (even a 500 kb photo). I turned the printer off and on, checked all the cables, rebooted the PC. Nothing worked. So I ended up having to go to the Konica Minolta website to download a new driver. That didn't fix the problem. So then I had to download two kinds of new firmware and that finally resolved the issue. It killed about 2 hours of my time troubleshooting this. I have Windows Vista 64-bit, so it's possible there were compatibility issues and perhaps other people will not have this problem. But I would encourage everyone to go to the Konica Minolta website and download the latest driver and firmware BEFORE using this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good printer.......but not for card stock! November 30, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
The 1600W had been recommended to me by a Konica Minolta representative during a telephone conversation in which I explained that my current Konica Minolta Magicolor 2300DL (which I loved) was finally dying out. Upon receiving the new 1600W, I tried to print flyers on 110 lb card stock (which I frequently do) only to find out that the printer kept jamming and the printed copy was awful. When I called Konica Minolta to advise them of my problem, I was told that the 1600W does not support card stock and would only take a maximum of 58 lb paper. Needless to say, I was upset and disappointed, as that was not a topic that was covered in my conversation with the KM rep. I thought she was recommending a printer that was comparable to the 2300DL, but obviously not. If you planning on using ONLY paper, the ease of use, print quality, and noise level should be fine. I DID return the item, and I must say that I was very impressed with the "no hassle" attitude of the seller. It definitely pays to shop through Amazon for service and dependability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this before you do your install! July 21, 2011
By JB
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a little worried when reading other reviews and finding some people have had trouble with an error message before even printing one page, but for the price I figured it was worth a shot. I made sure to download the newest driver for my operating system from the Konica Minolta website and figured if I followed the directions line by line how hard can a printer install be, I have never had a problem with the 2 other printers I already went through this year. Well as soon as the driver was installed and I was prompted to turn on the Printer I got the dreaded flashing error warning with a paper jam right away, before it even got warmed up. Well I loaded the paper correctly like it said to and I have the right type of paper so let me turn it off, pull out the jam and try again. Did that and bam same thing. I googled the model number and found out that on every fix website everyone is having the same problem and no one knows what to do. Some professionals say the cartridges may be misaligned and all this ridiculously crazy stuff but then I thought for a second, it is trying to feed paper in before the machine is even warmed up. How about if I just take the paper out even though the directions say to have it in. So I cleared the jam, turned off the printer and took out the paper and restarted the machine. Well it cycled through the warmup process and once the machine was flashing the green ready, I put the paper back in and tried printing a test page. It printed with no problems and I haven't had an issue since. It may just have been a fluke but if you have the same problem try taking the paper out and let the machine go through it's warm up cycle first, not everytime it warms up but just the first time when it prompts you during install to turn on the machine....
