Would not buy again: noisy, slow & finicky.......2006-09-08

We've had this printer for 2 years. The end product it good but it has been very unreliable for several months now. At times, for no apparent reason, it will print out an error message and non-sensical jibberish. It also seems to work very hard and slow for even 1 page: makes a very noisy clicking sound 3 or 4 times before it prints anything and then again for each page. I've called Konica Minolta several times, changed the driver, uninstalled & reinstalled it from Windows multiple times but nothing changes.

We bought a monochrome, multifunction Brother machine a few months ago and we like it so much, I think we'll buy a color to replace the Konica.

total nightmare.......2006-05-23

Yes, those reviews with 5 stars have to be users that haven't had it for very long. After using for a year, I really wish I had not chosen the 2350EN. It crashes at least twice a week. I have had to remove all traces from my network and reinstall at least 5 times. If someone makes the mistake of turning it off for the night, you have to reboot the entire network before it will print. It jams constantly if the paper weight and job dimensions are not perfect. I called sales before buying and they said the printer would run standard postcard sizes. It won't (tech support said so) It will only run "Japanese postcard sizes". So if you want to print addresses on your postcards or make your own postcards from your pictures forget it (or buy special size paper). Their product page says that it will handle 65lb card stock. It won't. Tech support explained (after I bought it) that they actually use a grams per meter rating to determine that weight of the paper (not the bond weight or pound rating that is on their public spec. sheet). The actual weight tolerated is way below the usual 65lb card stock papers that are available from the major office supply centers. DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF..CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE!!

Mixed Feelings.......2006-04-28

I have owned this printer for about 2.5 years- and it is a bitter sweet relationship. When it works well, it is great. However, it is very temperamental and can really make you want to pull your hair out:
1. ethernet port never worked- ended up using USB port
2. Doesn't work on every USB port on my computers- had to play around and remember which one it works on
3. while printing powerpoint slides or documents, for no reason at all it will set off an error page and then I get about 50 pages of ASCII error messages...wasting my ink and paper!
4. locks up a lot and the fan is loud enough to wake up the house. won't turn off until you reboot

I bought this to avoid spending $$$ at print shops for business docs...but the amount of babysitting I have to do to print docs is a real time drain. I have struggled so much that I have been late on proposals and lost business because it went into error mode.

Aside from problems, the print quality is great. It is easy to operate. It's just unpredictable and temperamental.

I've also had this printer for about a year, and use it exclusively to print digital photos. It has been a excellant performer, both through parallel and ethernet connection. I haven't seen any paper roll problems, using all types of paper including transparencies and matte photo paper. Toner does seem pricey, but it doesn't dry out like the ink in my old Epson photo printer did, so I figure it's a net savings.

Good experiences.......2005-09-12

I've had my MagiColor 2350EN for about a year now. I haven't had any of the bad experiences mentioned by other people so I thought I put in my review to balance out the overall picture a bit.
I bought my printer brand new, not refurbished, from Amazon.
Menu is no more difficult than most equipment I have worked with, it is just that there are so many options, it is multi-leveled. So what I did is print out the Menu Map Layout (built-in function) and stick it on the front of the printer. Now I can navigate easily.
I print everything through the ethernet, never had a problem. I am running XP if that makes any difference.
Paper goes through fine, I print on regular paper and 110lb paper, letter size and post card sizes, all fine!
Color toner is expensive... but I haven't seen any other printers with cheap color toners.
I've contacted tech support 3 times, found them to be very helpful.
In fact, I am looking to buy my second one soon.
