Konica Minolta 1052 Printer Review

The Konica-Minolta bizhub PRESS 1052 is a large, high-volume multifunction laser printing system that can be customized to handle almost any task in a busy office or print shop. A large, bright touchscreen interface offers a clear view of each task, and quick speeds of up to 105 pages per minute are impressive, but the low cost of Konica-Minolta 1052 printer toner might still be its best asset.

To give a bit of scope to the sort of capacity the machine can handle, its maximum monthly duty cycle is around 2,000,000 pages, and the maximum input paper capacity with all upgrades installed is 14,000 pages. The estimated page yield of Konica-Minolta 1052 toner cartridges is also a whopping 137,000 pages.

Given these capacities, it is no wonder the 1052 is a bulky and expensive machine, but for high-speed production environments, it is a good match. The control center is a 15-inch color touchscreen display that feels more like a computer screen, and it offers a detailed view of every operation, with the option to customize and save common workflows for quick access. With a wide range of upgrades and finishing options available, buyers can equip the system to output exactly the type of finished product they are looking for.

As mentioned, the size of replacement toners makes the 1052 particularly cost-effective. With each bizhub PRESS 1052 toner cartridge priced quite reasonably and equipped for up to 137,000 pages, the cost per page is a small fraction of a penny. Also, compared to the multiple supplies of color models, the single Konica-Minolta 1052 toner supply is a breath of fresh air, even though it means no color output.

The Konica-Minolta 1052 is an excellent choice for large offices and production environments where a high-yield, high-speed printing system is needed, but it requires a large budget. Still, with such low costs for bizhub PRESS 1052 toner, it may eventually pay for itself in savings.
