Run Don't walk.......2007-05-30

This is the worst product I have ever purchased. I bought the printer for light use and in less than 100 pages printing it died. Konica told me to buy random parts from them that didn't work. Then they told me to take it to one of their technicians. Wasted more money than the printer was worth. There's a reason no one has a Konica printer. They are horrible. Don't waste your money like I did. Horrible.

Excellent office printer - with some issues........2006-02-17

I found the 2430 DL to be a compact, attractive, relatively fast printer that produces high quality B/W and color prints. Business graphics print very nicely though it doesn't reproduce photographs well. The photographs that I've printed have a sepia cast and muddy appearance.

As an earlier reviewer noted, the fusing of the image on envelopes is incomplete, resulting in a smearable print. Moreover, the envelope printing procedure requires you to remove the paper, adjust the paper alignment guides, open the printer(!) and flip two levers. Once you are done... reverse the process. We print evelopes occasionaly and one at a time so this isn't a workable solution. We kept an old printer just for envelopes. I can see why another reviewer, who needs envelope printing, gave this printer a poor rating.

The print driver is clean and has lots of nice features and doesn't take over your computer or fill your task list with background programs like some other popular printers.

Built-in networking worked like a champ right out of the box.

Like other color lasers the printer makes some noise. I can't really judge if it is worse than the others, since this is the only one we have heard outside the stores. It is silent when not in use, but makes a variety of mechanical clicks, clunks and whirs when printing.

Conclusion: As a small office printer, where envelopes and photos can be printed elsewhere, the 2430 DL is an excellent choice. The price is very reasonable as well.

WORST ever for printing envelopes!.......2005-12-27

I have had nothing but problems printing envelopes with this printer. Odd sizes jam, and will NOT print. When an evelope does make it through this printer (standard size #10s), the print does not fuse to the envelope and smears. And yes, I have changed the tension levers for envelopes before before printing. I would only give this 1 star because it does print 8.5in X 11in standard weight paper just fine, but I want more options from a printer than this.
