5.0 out of 5 stars Feature rich laser printer with professional results!, June 13, 2009

By	Deborah D'Amico (Martinez, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I found this printer advertised on sale near my home today (6/13/09)and couldn't pass up the bargain price for such a feature rich machine that delivers professional results in your choice of color, black and white on letter or legal sized paper. Other customers in the store today with prior experience with this exact printer wanted additional ones to use in their homes or businesses and now I can see why after taking one home myself!

Since the bargain price was so low, the dealer only allows one per customer. I found one lone businessman who arrived and explained that he tried to get other family members to come with him so he could buy 3 of them but no such luck, he got the last of the remaining 3 right along with me. Another oddity was that some salesperson who tried to dissuade me from this product to another one offered later called the house and said that if there was any reason that I might be unhappy with it that they would pay me an additional $50 on top of what I paid-apparently employees are not allowed to buy the product at the sale price which was news to me!

With this printer you will find it able to deliver truly professional all color prints whether graphic or photos. Other neat features, you can create a 'watermark'(a shadowy lettering/message behind the text of documents) on your documents in the form of one you create for yourself or use any of the pre-made ones so that your documents can have customized features such as 'confidential,' 'do not copy' or 'top secret.' There's more, but since I just got it I don't know all of it yet!

Installation of printer drivers is easy taking less than 10 minutes and you can print, save or read the users manual. The unit itself weighs 31.8 lbs., fairly hefty as compared to other competitors in its type. Perhaps because of this it is fairly quiet as compared with another brand of high quality black and white only laser printer I wore out over the last year with reams of print jobs (thousands of resumes & still looking for another career position-'guess I will have to file for my 3rd extention if nothing pans out in the next couple of weeks!)

Since I just bought it today I will post here to let readers know how well it does over time that way you can know of actual consumer experience to help you in weighing your purchase decision-let's hope the next couple of thousand resumes perhaps with color accents going out result in something!

5.0 out of 5 stars Positive experience with Konica-Minolta Magicolor 1600W, September 27, 2009

By	thaddon (Meridian, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

The 1600W received positive reviews in my research and correctly explained its pro's and con's so I really have had no surprises. I am completely satisfied with this printer which I purchased one month ago through Amazon at a great price of $149.99. It shipped quickly from the 3rd party vendor and arrived in excellent condition. At first the color prints seemed to be a bit slow. But when recollecting the color print speed on my 5 year old HP inkjet printer, the color print speed is definitely much faster. My only concern for the future is the replacement cost of the print cartridges (about $65.00 for the b&w cartridge and about $100.00 for each of the color print cartridges). Overall, I think this is an excellent laser color printer and is perfect for my home and small business use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent inexpensive home laser, September 25, 2009

By	Arthur Dameron (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

Can a color laser printer this inexpensive (under $170) be any good? YES! For a week I kept looking at various color lasers at stores in town and online. Most of them were around $400 - 500. I read lots of reviews by computer magazines and individuals and they all had something negative to say. I just couldn't make up my mind. Then, I read the positive review about this printer in PC Magazine and figured that for such a small amount of money I could afford to make a mistake.

Well, this has been a joy. I still can't believe how good it is. The print quality and color quality of the text is outstanding. I showed several pages to colleagues at work and nobody could tell the difference between what I had printed and what we use every day at work. This is perfect for my needs at home.

I have not printed pictures, nor do I intend to. That's not something that interests me so I can't comment on how good it is doing that. But for quality text (including color text) this is excellent. The colors match what I see on screen. Green is a little off but the others are spot on. And it's plenty fast enough. Not sure this would work as a networked printer but for home it's perfect.

There are lots of options available that I haven't even fooled with. Maybe I could even tweak the green color more to match the screen. I don't know.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone. I was ready to spend $500 and I bet those printers wouldn't have done a thing better for me than this one.
