Konica-Minolta Magicolor 2530DL

The original first review posted here is very accurate and one that I cannot expand on very much. The reviewer said everything very well and accurately described this product. I can only agree with all he said and fully agree that for the price you will get an excellent printer that will do the heavy duty work for you at a fraction of the inkjet costs. Toners are readily available from many distributors and I do recommend the fully loaded ones that print 4500 pages for the most cost effective consumable.

Envelopes can be a chore where paper has to be removed, guide rails adjusted for the envelope, print and then reverse process for paper again. Envelopes with peel off strips or metal clasps will not work, the metal will damage the drum.

If using GLOSSY paper you must select GLOSSY PAPER in the control panel first to avoid lousy output. If you do the selection is will work fine.

Some third party software will not recognize the CD install software on USB use. You may have to install using the install wizard again and then everything will work fine. I haven't deleted the original printer install yet but expect there will be no problem doing that to leave only on install on the computer printer queue.

Am extremely satisfied with this unit. I researched all on the market and decided this was my choice. By chance I learned a friend also had one only after I bought this and he raved good reviews. So that made me feel setteled. This sure beats the operation costs of an inkjet that will not last but a couple years before burn out and expensive inks that cannot be replaced with 3rd party anymore. In the long run this unit will more than pay for it self and be far more cost effective than inkjet.

Foot print is not much bigger than regular inkjet so that is not an issue, but is heavy. Do not drop this on your foot.

Over all I give this unit a 10 where 10 is the highest positive rating. Could not be happier and looking at reviews of other brands this one richly earned its high ratings.
