Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL

REVIEW DATE:12.22.04

Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL

REVIEW

If the Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL ($999 direct) were about $200 less expensive, it would be a strong contender for a new Editors' Choice in our personal color laser printer category. At it's actual price, however, it's merely a reasonable choice that's strong on performance but a little shaky on output quality.

Bottom Line

The Konica Minolta magicolor 5430 DL offers good performance and reasonably capable paper handling options, with a maximum 1250-sheet capacity with duplexing. However, output quality is mixed. Text quality is excellent but graphics and photo quality are at the low end of the spectrum for color laser printers.

Pros

Good performance. Excellent text quality. Includes Ethernet port. Paper handling options include duplexer and trays for a maximum 1250 sheet capacity.

Cons

Graphics and photo quality are at the low end of the range for color lasers. Support for legal-size paper requires optional paper tray.
