Konica Minolta MagiColor 2300W
The Konica Minolta MagiColor 2300W is another quality printer from the electronics giant from Japan. It is marketed as a desktop printer for the SOHO market, and is just that. It differs from the similarly named 2300DL in color, shape performance and capability, and it is odd that they used a very similar designation for a totally different machine.
Printing is of good quality, the reproduction during testing were clean and accurate. Image detail was good with no banding on black and white images, and accurate reproduction on color. Our test document is 28 pages of text, mono images, colored text and colored images, so gives us a real flavor of what a printer can do. The speed is also okay with a rating of 16 pages per minute for monochrome and 4 for color.
The 2300W can handle 200 sheets of paper in the drawer, with no option to expand. The built in 32Mb memory can be so it reaches the maximum of 288Mb.
Toners are easy to replace, and relatively inexpensive. Cartridges are good for 4500 sheets in black, and the drum is also good for 4500. All are fairly easy to change, and shouldn’t present any problems to experienced users. Like relatively few others on the market, this printer came with standard cartridges included as opposed to “starter” ones, which are often half or less than half full.
Connecting and configuring the 2300W is as straightforward as it gets. It can be connected via USB or parallel, with no network option included. The drivers and user manual are easy to use and logical. Overall, setup took less than 30 minutes, from the time we started opening the package to the time we ordered the first print.
The 2300W is a no-nonsense dedicated printer. What it prints it does with luster and good quality. The price and general usability makes up for a lack of features making this a viable option for those offices who aren’t in a hurry, and prefer quality over quantity.
