Konica-Minolta bizhub 360 Toner Cartridges

Konica-Minolta 360 Printer Review

Extremely busy offices might be somewhat disappointed in the 36 pages per minute speed of the Konica-Minolta bizhub 360 multifunction laser printer, but it has a number of solid reasons to reconsider. It is very upgradeable, with options for faxing and extra paper capacity, and the low cost of Konica-Minolta 360 printer toner might be the best reason of all.

Scanning speed is one of the 360's best elements, as it can scan up to 70 originals per minute, while sending them to multiple destinations such as email, FTP servers, or an SMB shared folder. This could be particularly handy for the office switching to digital workflows. An optional 40 GB hard drive can be added for storing digital files directly, and security features like encryption and hard drive sanitizing can keep files safe.

The 150,000-page monthly duty cycle is tailored to large, high-volume work environments, but there is still a focus on the user. The tilting control panel is designed for better viewing angles, and the interface is easy to use. Users and administrators can monitor the unit's progress from the control panel or from a connected computer, as well as keeping an eye on the paper supply and the remaining level of bizhub 360 toner.

The Konica-Minolta 360 toner cartridges use Simitri Polymerized ultra-fine particles for more consistency. The bizhub 360 toner cartridges can also provide up to 32,200 pages each, and are available at a low price, which keeps the cost per page very reasonable.

Buyers out for the fastest speeds will probably want to overlook the 360, but those who value its fast scanning and upgradeability will want to give it a look. Add the low cost of Konica-Minolta 360 toner to the mix, and you have a device with a lot of value.
