Konica Minolta 160 Printer Review

Some desktop printers are designed to support users with minimal printing needs, and others are equipped with a variety of features that allow them to benefit those in need of a powerful machine; the Konica-Minolta Bizhub 160 is one such powerful laser machine. One feature is the expandable memory, where the unit provides a standard RAM of 16 MB that can be upgraded to a maximum of 32 MB. Another feature that has the option for expandability is its paper handling, which includes a standard 250-sheet multipurpose tray and 10-page bypass tray that can be increased with an optional 500-sheet cassette tray.

The 160's most impressive built-in capability is its multifunction design that is able to support users that want to print, scan and copy projects without using multiple machines. The printer feature has a slew of striking elements for a desktop unit including the ability to produce black-and-white documents at a rate of up to 16 pages per minute. Users can produce printed pages with a sharp resolution of up to 1200 dpi using black Konica-Minolta 160 toner. The copier can also work at quick rates and produce precise duplicates with a resolution of 600 dpi using black Bizhub 160 toner.

With the Konica-Minolta 160 toner cartridge print capacity of around 5,000 pages, the unit is clearly not designed for high volume office printing, but should be able to easily support homes or small office users producing prints on a regular basis. Toners are available for replacement at a number of locations and sites, but third party vendors offer printer toner at the most competitive prices. A starter Bizhub 160 toner cartridge is provided by the manufacturer upon purchase.

With a quick warm-up time of only 25 seconds and the provided Konica-Minolta 160 toner, this printer is designed to print directly out to of the box and support busy personal users.
