Summary: This $699 Konica Minolta MagiColor 2450 printer offers little to justify the extra cost over the almost identical-looking Konica Minolta MagiColor 2430DL and similar Xerox Phaser 6120n, both of which cost about $200 less.
Pros: Front USB port
Cons: Graphics printing is slow Text output was heavy and fuzzy
Verdict: Like the 2430DL, the 2450 has a front USB port, though it doesn't do anything--yet. Konica Minolta says it will soon release a free firmware upgrade that will enable printing from PictBridge-compatible digital cameras

Summary: This model is very similar to the Xerox Phaser 6120n, but unjustifiably costs much more. PC World Canada rating: 77 Good.

Summary: The latest Magicolor printer from Konica Minolta has everything you could want in a sub-$1,000 color laser printer-including PostScript Level 3.
Pros: Accurate color; PictBridge camera port; PostScript 3.
Cons: Noisy; doesn't support Apple's Bonjour.
Verdict: Initial setup of the printer was a piece of cake. Its four toner cartridges come pre-installed and its compact size doesn't take up too much desk space

Summary: Type: 4-pass color, Technology: Laser, Rated Speed (Color): 5 ppm, Rated Speed (Mono): 20 ppm
Pros: Top-tier text and photo quality for a color laser. Better than most for graphics. Ethernet connector standard.
Cons: Relatively slow for color printing, at 5 pages per minute (ppm), despite the 20-ppm rating for monochrome.
Verdict: The Konica Minolta magicolor 2450 puts the emphasis on output quality. It does well on text and graphics and earns a very good rating for photos, as some output is true photo quality. But all that comes at a relatively slow speed.

Summary: Konica Minolta's home/office colour laser attempts to differentiate itself from the competition with built in networking and a PictBridge direct camera connection.
Verdict: This printer is a mixture of the good and the not-so-good. It produces high-quality colour images for a laser, but costs slightly more to run than some of its competitors and makes a good bit of noise while printing. The in-built networking and direct cam
