Konica-Minolta C454 Printer Review

With a large touchscreen display and solid speeds, the Konica-Minolta bizhub C454 multifunction color laser printer is ready to take on the modern office. Also referred to as the C454e, It can print and copy up to 45 pages per minute, in both color and monochrome, and has options to scan at a high rate of up to 160 originals per minute. Of course, such performance comes with a hefty price tag, and Konica-Minolta C454 printer toner supplies are pricey as well.

The 9-inch touchscreen display of the C454 is a sight to behold, with a smooth interface that features large icons for easy access to important features. For those averse to touchscreen displays, the control panel also features an array of hardware buttons, and users can add an optional keyboard for faster input.

Beyond its standard copying, printing, and optional faxing capabilities, the C454 excels at digital scanning. With the option for a dual scanner automatic document feeder, the unit can churn through up to 160 images per minute, making it a perfect choice for an office transitioning to digital paperless workflows. The 250 GB hard drive is also an easy place to store and share scanned files, and they can be shared via email, sent to an FTP server, and more.

The price of each of the four toners is enough to give buyers a case of sticker shock, but large capacities for Konica-Minolta C454 toner cartridges helps to keep the cost per page reasonable at least. Each of the color bizhub C454 toner cartridges is rated for up to 26,000 pages of output, with the black supply rated for 27,000 pages. Unfortunately, users won't find third-party Konica-Minolta C454 toner as easily as those of its competition.

With an excellent touchscreen interface and some of the fastest scanning speeds in its class, the C454 is a very appealing multifunction device. Buyers will have to decide if its features justify its high upfront price and expensive bizhub C454 toner costs, however.
