Ramsey, N.J. - August 19, 2009 - Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, today announced the receipt of the PC Magazine Editors' Choice Award for the magicolor® 1600W.
"As a personal color laser, the Konica Minolta magicolor 1600W is an impressive beast," said PC Magazine.com in a recent product review. "It is a touch less expensive than its closest competition and a touch faster, and it offers higher-quality text."
The magicolor 1600W presents an affordable alternative for users looking to upgrade from their existing inkjet printers, or require a smaller color laser printer that can fit into virtually any situation. With its sleek stylish design, competitive cost per page, and small workspace and footprint, this magicolor 1600W is perfect for personal home users and small workgroups.
"Also worth mentioning is that Konica Minolta's one-year parts-and-labor warranty covers shipping in both directions. If tech support can't solve a problem over the phone and authorizes a return, the company will ship the replacement immediately, along with instructions for returning the original unit. The magicolor 1600W is a runaway winner as the new Editors' Choice for personal color laser printer," said PC Magazine.com.
The magicolor 1600W prints at full speed - 20 pages per minute (ppm) black-and-white and five ppm in color - regardless of chosen print resolution, and provides a low cost per page even when using high quality options resulting in remarkable total cost of ownership (TCO). With minimal noise levels and eco-friendly features, such as low energy consumption and economy mode printing for reduced cost per page, the magicolor 1600W produces quality color without sacrificing quality. Using Konica Minolta's exclusive Simitri® HD color polymerized toner alone saves up to 15 percent of the energy usually required for laser printing. Furthermore, its emissions are about 40 percent below those of conventional toner.
"We are honored to receive PC Magazine's top accolade, which gives our customers the confidence that they can count on Konica Minolta for all of their printing needs," said Richard Miller, Vice President, Printer Sales, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. "This award signifies Konica Minolta's commitment to develop quality products that are continuously evolving to help consumers stay ahead of the print management curve."
