Currently running a Konica Minolta C6500. The printer is fine; the embeded Windows XP is becoming a relic.
Purchasing criteria.
1. Reliability
2. Cost per page. (use a Konica 1050 for b/w, so assume always some color)
3. Paper handling, so far max size has been legal size,.
4. Speed minimum 60 ipm prefer faster.
5. Paper capacity., the more it can hold the better.
6. Local tech support Hampton Roads, VA.
7 Must be a Postscript printer. Prefer, but do not require a Fiery interface.http:/
Adding this info on current costs.
Color costs .06 per impression
B/W costs .02 per impression.
The purchase price of the printer is secondary. I believe the Konica was in the 30K + price range.
