Review #1: Overpriced - consider a new printer
2007-08-09 
This is not so much Amazon's fault, but here's a printer that sold for well under a thousand dollars, depending on when you bought it.
Typically, Konica-Minolta sold its laser printers with short life laser cartridges, i.e. a capacity about half of the normal units. when time rolls around to replace black, you're looking at a substantially higher price than when the printer was dropped for another.
If you've replaced all the carts as I have, you're sometimes spending more than a pretty good color laser costs now, i.e. somewhere over $600. The black goes first. So I'm on the third -- it's going to last a while. For the most part, I use an old, reliable HP4050 which was so common that there is price competition for cartridges. Printing monochrome on the HP costs about a third of what the 5420DL does.
Every printer make tries to make their profit from consummables. Some of the printer makers wind up being much more expensive over the longer term than others. KM is one of them. |
