Konica-Minolta magicolor 4695MF Toner Cartridges

Konica-Minolta 4695MF Printer Review

Any office in need of a machine that can handle essential demands in an office will appreciate the Konica-Minolta magicolor 4695 (also referenced as the 4695MF). It handles a variety of tasks ranging from receiving standard black-and-white text documents to printing full color photographs. This all-in-one color laser printer is built durably to withstand daily usage in a busy workplace. It can generate up to 25 pages per minute, takes less than a minute to warm-up when turned on, and the first page of a multi-page job will print in about 20 seconds.

As an upgrade from the previous model in this line, the 4690, the 4695 adds a PictBridge connection to the standard USB and ethernet ports. Ethernet allows this machine to be shared in a network and the PictBridge is an input port to plug a digital camera into directly, eliminating the need for a computer to print pictures. Unfortunately, there is not a large color LCD for previewing and enhancing images, as is often found on modern inkjet photo printers. Users will instead have to rely on the camera's screen.

Yellow, magenta, cyan and black Konica-Minolta 4695 toner is used to create crisp professional documents and high-quality photos that are true to life. The highest resolution that can be reached with the magicolor 4695 toner is 2400x600 dpi.

The paper capacity of this laser unit is 450 sheets for input and 250 sheets for output, but additional input trays are available that increase the paper capacity to 850 sheets. A variety of paper types are supported by the 4695, including transparencies, labels, cards and various sizes of envelopes. The memory capacity is also an upgradable feature, with a standard 512 MB that can be expanded up to 1 GB.

The standard Konica-Minolta 4695 toner cartridges can yield about 4,000 pages before expiring, which will keep the cost per page relatively low. However, the cost per printed page will be even lower if the high-capacity magicolor 4695 toner cartridges are used instead. These toners will cost a bit more upfront than the smaller size, but the average over the long run is lower.

The expandable features of the 4695 allow it to grow with the increasing business, and its multiple functions in a single machinehelp to preserve space and time, thus improving productivity. Running costs will be low over the years thanks to the low cost per page provided by the Konica-Minolta 4695 printer toner.
