Magicolor 2400W - Disaster.......2007-06-26

Having owned and operated a Konica-Minolta Magicolor 2400W for the last year and a half I am not surprised this item has been discontinued by the manufacturer. I purchased a brand new unit which promptly broke down in days of installation. Minolta did replace it with a REFURBISHED unit. Strange, I bought new and they replaced it with a used unit.
The printer is incredibly noisy and dirty - it spills a lot of toner inside the printer so you get to clean it frequently if you want clean printing. The toner is outrageously expensive. Replacing all four toner cartridges is more expensive than buying a new printer.
Break downs and error messages are a fact of life with this printer. Konica Minolta's web page help site is of no help what so ever. Unless you somehow forgot to remove the packing tape when you first installed the unit, all help does in recommend you call customer service.
After 18 months of repeated frustration I pulled the plug and went with HP color laser printer.

Bought 2, both failed.......2007-06-03

Very good picture quality for a color laser unit but mechanically very cheap. First page printout is slow but speeds up for multiple copies. I bought 2 to use in my home office and both failed mechanically within 6 months. I would not consider Konica Minolta again due to the cheap quality.

Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400W Color Laser Printer .......2007-04-08

Fantastic print quality. Looks like it came right from a professional photographer on all the colors. True color throughout.

Works great!.......2007-01-04

My first post and I just felt that I had to write a positive review after seeing all the negatives. I got a refurbished one at a discounted rate (less than $150) a couple days ago. B/W text printing is amazing as usual for lasers; colour printing isn't bad at all (under 2400x600 dpi). Unless you look at it up close, you won't notice the pixels.

I don't have the printer long enough to really comment on it's build quality... however, I just want to point out that if you want to print on thick stock (anything > 24lb) you have to go into Printer Preferences and choose "thick stock" under the Paper tab. I just printed using a 32lb stock and it works fine! I noticed that under the "thick stock" setting, the paper feeds slower; presumably to prevent jamming.

Noise level is acceptable to me. The other laser printer I used was one from Samsung and they don't sound any different.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with it for the price I paid.

Good prints but too many problems.......2006-12-20

I bought it because it was cheap ($200); I thought it was less than the cost of the ink cartridge set but it needs a black cartridge after only a couple of thousand pages so, as another reviewer said, the cartridges must be "starter" cartridges. A full set of cartridges cost 50% more than the machine. Print quality is good, and it's fast when printing black-only. But it's noisy -- lots of loud clanking, like someone's inside with a hammer, and machinery whirring. There's no envelope feed so printing an envelope or 4x6 card requires removing paper stock and resetting paper guides; printing 4x6 cards produces jams, if they can print at all. The machine is discontinued so this is all academic now. I'll probably buy a black cartridge but when the color cartridges need replacement I'll probably replace the machine instead. At the time, I could have bought an HP color laser for $100 more; I should have. I've seen the HP operate -- smooth, quiet, with an envelope feed, easily the better buy.
