Konica Minolta C300 Printer Review

The Konica Minolta Bizhub C300 is a multifunction color laser printer designed for the medium or large office environment. It's fast printing and scanning speeds, as well as its built-in network hard drive, make it ideal for a high-volume office.

Not all offices need color printing, but many color multifunction devices cut other features in order to make an affordable multifunction printer. The C300 not only provides high-quality color printing, but it can print, scan, copy, and fax, with all the features one would expect from a true all-in-one machine. It also has a much higher-capacity than the competing HP CM2320 toner printer.

The Konica C300 has a built-in 40 GB hard drive for storage. This drive becomes available as a network shared drive when the C300 is connected to a network. Users can be assigned boxes on the hard drive for storing and accessing files. The Bizhub C300 has a number of security features for keeping documents safe and secure, such as requiring a password before allowing printing. Scanning is extremely fast, at up to 65 monochrome pages per minute, and 50 color pages per minute. Scans can be sent to email, the internal hard drive, a folder on the network, and a number of other destinations.

For lower-volume printing the HP 2550 toner printer will be a good choice. But for high-volume printing, the Konica Minolta C300 toner cartridges have a capacity of 12,000 pages for each color cartridge, and 20,000 pages for the black Konica Minolta C300 toner cartridge. The Konica Minolta Bizhub C300 toner cartridges are very easy to replace from a front panel.

Print quality is the real standout feature of the C300. Color prints are excellent, and photos and graphics look as good as or better than dedicated photo printers due to the quality of the Konica Minolta Bizhub C300 toner. Text quality is very sharp and detailed, and even the smallest fonts are extremely readable. Print speed is up to 30 pages per minute in both monochrome and color, which blows away the competing LaserJet 5550 toner printer.

Overall, the Konica Minolta C300 is a fast, high-quality printer with practically every feature a user could need. Its network capabilities and fast scanning speeds are also very impressive.
