Review: You can download the specs anywhere so here's the opinion. I got this printer on clearance at Staples with a bunch of coupons and manouvering for ~150.00 which made it a bargain anyway you cut it. I needed a printer to replace my HP4550 that was ...

Pros: Great color output. Super service! Reasonable price!

Cons: Can't run this machine while baby is napping. Slow on heavy weight paper.

Cons: As with all laser printers I know of, toner can be expensive.

Cons: paper tray is very simple

The Bottom Line: You expect compromises at the price, all I have is niggles. I love it - a solid performer.

Review: Minolta QMS 2430DL, as a photographer I am always looking for ways to promote my business. Unfortunately as this involves images, usually color, it can get quite expensive. I was amazed when a local retailer had the 2430DL on sale for $399 after a $100 ...

The Bottom Line: Avoid this printer - there are other better ones out there for the same price.

Cons: toner and other parts gives you the really expensive printer everyone else sells

Pros: Easy setup. the quality of the output is quite good.

Cons: The paper feed mechanics is completely unreliable.

Pros: None

Cons: Cheap cost = cheaply made
