The Konica-Minolta magicolor 2430DL color laser printer is so affordable and compact that it is easy to imagine it must be under-powered or produce lackluster prints. This is certainly not the case, however. It offers fast speeds and excellent print quality, and it doesn't skimp on features like a PictBridge port and solid paper capacity. Printer toner costs are affordable as well, with low-cost
magicolor toner as one of its main highlights.
One feature that is somewhat unexpected for the price of the 2430DL is this laser printer's built-in ethernet port, which makes setting the machine up for sharing a quick and easy process. It can support Windows, Mac or Linux machines either across a network or connected directly via USB. The unit is designed to take up a small footprint. It measures 13.4 inches by 16.9 inches by 19.8 inches and weighs 39.7 pounds with each
toner cartridge installed. This might be a bit large for the smallest of office spaces, but the majority of users should have no problem finding a place for it.
Paper capacity is good for its size at 200 pages. It can print on a wide variety of media, including envelopes, labels, transparencies and others. Print speed is up to 5 pages per minute for color and 20 pages per minute for black.
The large capacity of Konica-Minolta 2430DL toner cartridges results in a very low cost per page that is a real money-saver. Toners are easy to replace, and magicolor 2430DL toner cartridges are very inexpensive. Buyers can use third-party compatible magicolor 2430DL toner to keep costs even lower.
For such a small and inexpensive model, the speed and output quality of the Konica-Minolta 2430DL is very impressive. It has virtually every feature a small office needs, including great networking support and a PictBridge USB port, and the toner is easy on the budget.
