this is a very good product for the price.. i don't print much, so it is fine for my small business. i have to say the color quality is much better that i thought it would be. it is noisy but for price and quality of the print i can live with it. i've only had mine for a few weeks now, but i haven't had any problems yet. the only thing i suggest if you're looking to buy this product is check the price regularly, because it fluctuates between $119 to $199.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good printer.......but not for card stock!, November 30, 2009

This review is from: Konica Minolta magicolor 1600W - Printer - color - laser - Legal, A4 - up to 20 ppm (mono) / up to 5 ppm (color) - capacity: 200 sheets - USB (Electronics)

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.

OK, my 1992 LaserJet4 AND my Canon ink jet both crapped out yesterday. So I find this for $119 at B&H. Now, I am a gambler, but the last time I used a color laser printer, it was the size and weight of a piano, made lousy prints, and the IBM guy had to come every week to fix it.

I was in the middle of a job 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. My LaserJet was horrible with photos. You had to halftone them. 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 one second. 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. I'm having a good day.

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 copier for a loss, hoping to make it back on the toner. Well, Konica Minolta guys, don't read this, but If I keep liking this printer as much as I do now, what's to stop me from buying a couple more at $119 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)
