Konica-Minolta 5550 Printer Review

The Konica Minolta 5550 is a compact color laser printer perfect for mid-level offices because it is able to produce up to 120,000 pages every month. Its size is very small at only 16.5x20.7x17.3 inches, but it will be heavy to lift at 73.6 pounds. Upon purchase, 256 MB of RAM is built-in, but that can be upgraded to 1 GB of memory if needed.

Inside the machine, there are four Konica Minolta 5550 toner cartridges, and each is filled with either cyan, magenta, yellow or black printer toner. Each of these toners can produce up to 6,000 pages before expiring, but if that won't do, there are high capacity versions of the magicolor 5550 toner that will print as many as 12,000 pages. For most mid-level offices, these yields will do just fine.

One of the best things about the Konica Minolta 5550 toner is the high quality documents it can produce. Resolutions as high as 9600x600 dpi can be reached, which will give users the highest quality of documents possible. Finished documents will look sharp, precise and professional.

Speeds are also quite good with the 5550 laser printer. Black-and-white documents can print out in about 32 pages per minute, while the color documents print at a rate of 27 pages per minute. The first-page out times for monochrome and color prints is 14 seconds and 14.2 seconds, respectively.

The magicolor 5550 toner cartridges can print on a variety of media types, such as labels, post cards, envelopes, labels, transparencies, plain paper and glossy paper. Not only that, but the unit supports a lot of different sizes too, like statement, letter A, executive and A6. The Konica Minolta 5550 toner is easy to find and easy to replace, and remanufactured versions are available from online merchants that are much more affordable than OEM.
