Konica Minolta magicolor 2530DL

Comparatively compact and light in weight, the 2350DL jumps the first hurdle of installation by being refreshingly easy to get out of the box and position on your desk. Once there it looks stylishly designed, well finished and built to a high standard

OK

I have used this printer for the past two years or more and think it has been a good investment. The toner is expensive, but perhaps no more than other colour laser printers. I buy my toner from a discount dealer which does save some money. I have the...

Printed copies look great

Slow, heavy, toner is expensive

Great print quality!

Poorly-designed toner cartridges that easily break...and break the internal parts.
