Konica-Minolta C35P Printer Review

Not only does the Konica-Minolta bizhub C35P color laser printer marry fast speeds with a compact size, but it also comes at an affordable price. It can print at up to 31 pages per minute, and uses inexpensive Konica-Minolta C35P printer toner that helps keep costs low. Its expandable paper capacity is also a bonus for growing offices.

The C35P is truly built for the small office space. It is only 13 inches high and 16.5 inches wide. Even with the bizhub C35P toner installed, the unit weighs around 60 pounds, so it's not as bulky as other models in its class. Users have the option of connecting it to a single computer via USB 2.0, but most will opt for the fast Gigabit ethernet port for sharing.

The starting paper capacity is 350 sheets, which includes a 100-sheet bypass tray for flexibility, with support for a maximum paper size of 8.5x14 inches. The paper capacity can be expanded further to a maximum of 850 sheets, however, allowing small offices to increase their productivity as their needs grow. Automatic duplexing is a standard feature, and the small control panel features a 4.3-inch touchscreen display that helps users keep tabs on job status, paper levels, and the Konica-Minolta C35P toner remaining.

The high-yield Simitri HD toners partially incorporate biomass for a lower environmental impact, and each of the color Konica-Minolta C35P toner cartridges have a yield of around 4,600 pages. The black bizhub C35P toner cartridge can provide around 5,200 pages. Combined, their large capacities and low prices keep the cost per page quite low.

Whether buyers need a compact laser printer for a small office, or something upgradeable for larger spaces, the C35P is a solid choice. Its operating costs are low, and its easy-to-use design makes for a shallow learning curve.
