Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W
I’m a journalist, so when I need something, it’s normally right now. Time is important to me as my life revolves around deadlines. That’s one of the reasons I bought the Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W.
It’s a tiny thing that produces good quality mono prints at 15 pages per minute. It’s only something like 15 inches wide, by 12 deep and the same high, and weighs 17 pounds. There are personal desktops that are bigger than that. For such a small footprint is packs quite a bit of punch.
This is currently the fastest printer in its class, which is why I chose it. The print quality is good enough for me to be able to print then submit straight to an editor images and all. Lasers often tend to fail when printing photos or images, but the PagePro 1350W holds its own. The grayscale is well utilized, with the 256 available shades simulating color well. It makes it easier to predict what the published piece will look like in a paper, which saves me a lot of time. Text quality is crisp and clear whatever size point I use. Ink fill is even if I use headline fonts, and details fine enough when using superscript.
The printer can be set up using either USB or network. I’m sure it could handle workgroups or something if you added a print server. The 8Mb buffer seems to cope well enough, even if I sent it a larger print job occasionally. The other great thing about this printer is that it’s quiet. If I’m on the phone doing an interview or something I can hardly hear it when it’s churning out my proofs. You can hear the print engine if it’s quiet and nothing else is going on, but apart from that it’s hardly noticeable.
Build quality seems sound, I haven’t had any problems with it anyway. The paper drawer is at the front near the bottom, and the paper is fed through in a “C” shape to end up on the top. The paper tray is said to be able to hold 100 sheets, but mine get curled up after about 15. Something to watch if you printer larger jobs.
If you’re looking for a good, reliable printer that won’t take up much room then the PagePro 1350W will do. It’s quiet, reliable and produces prints of sufficient quality for almost all uses. I heartily recommend it.
