The Magicolor 2200 accurately handles both business and large home print job requirements. It's equipped with a standard 500-sheet tray plus a handy multipurpose input tray for printing labels, envelopes, and transparencies; and it prints on letter, legal, and executive stationery (16- to 24-pound bond) and on heavy card stock (up to 90-pound index). The 2200 permits manual duplexing.
Upgrades and options can significantly boost the power of the Magicolor 2200. It comes with 32 MB RAM standard, expandable to a maximum of 96 MB. A 500-sheet lower feeder, autoduplexing unit, and five-bin mailbox are options to speed larger printing tasks and busier offices. (Minolta estimates the duty cycle at an exceptional 35,000 prints per month, assuming a 50/50 mix of color and monochrome).
This substantial printer (at over 85 pounds) measures about 18 by 21 by 20 inches. It will be a central tool to your office productivity, as it is packaged with all the essentials you need to get started, including four toner cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). The Magicolor 2200 runs on all versions of Microsoft Windows and is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

First, installation was a breeze. The product comes with a quick setup guide and a thicker installation guide. I read over the installation guide and used the quick setup guide for its excellent illustrations. Make sure you read over everything before you install. You need to be careful that you install all pieces correctly or you could damage the printer. There are more parts to this machine than you will find with most printers, but the directions were concise and offered plenty of explanation. Software setup was easy.Print output is good and speed is as advertised. Like another reviewer, I found the computer to be loud on startup. However, once it is going, all you can hear is a slight humm. I had no problem whatsoever with printing in Excel. Also, I printed out some pictures on plain paper and I was very satisfied with the results. Minolta suggests what kind of photographic paper to use for this laser.

Granted, if you only print an occasionaly 5x7 or 8x11 color photograph from a digital camera, you might want to stick with your inkjet and Kodak photographic paper. But if you need a color laser printer for your business,church or home graphic printing operation, this Minolta Magicolor may be your ticket. Set up was pretty easy. The beast weighs over 85 lbs unloaded (without color cartridges and paper)...we had no problem in our older house with circuit breakers based upon the amperage this machine draws. No lights dimmed. Set up took about 90 minutes, including an error we made not closing a door panel securely and then having to download the appropriate Windows XP driver from the Minolta-QMS website (which in itself took a few minutes---XP drivers weren't included on the...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By Brian Hart (CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Konica Minolta magicolor 2200 Color Laser Printer (Office Product) My review is actually more about the Magicolor 2210 GN than the Magicolor 2200 Desklaser but I think this will still be useful insight for those of you shopping for a printer. In my quest for a color LP I looked at the 2200, 2210 and the HP Color Laserjet 4550 before settling on the 2210. I didn't get to see the 2210 before I purchased it but now that I own one I can make the comparison between all three. Bottom line, if you can possibly afford the extra [money] get the 2210 GN .The 2200 seems like a good printer for a thousand dollars (pretty darn inexpensive) but there are caveats. Its test print to me looked better than that of the HP 4550 which costs (at the time I write this) [money] inclusive of rebate. For print quality alone I might have choosen the 2200 over the 4550 even though the 4550 is more full featured with it's Postscript support etc.. The 2200 has 1200 X 600 color resolution whereas the HP 4550 has 600 X 600 with some resolution enhancement that is advertised to...Read more |
