Color Laser:Viable Alternative to Inkjet Printers
May,2005–Magicolor 2450, the latest model of Konica Minolta’s award
winning 2400 series, was recently launched. It is said to have jam-packed
features. It comes handy with more power, versatility and color management to
suit both office and design applications.
This compact desktop printer
is 30% smaller compared to other printers. It uses auto-run installation
software to have a step-by-step printing guidance. Magicolor 2450 has 4,500-page
toners to keep it running in a matter of minutes. In connection to its
processing power, it uses a user-friendly Emperon controller to process and
print pages quickly and orderly. Emperon supports numerous network protocols
like TCP/IP, NetWare and EtherTalk. It is also compatible with Postscript 3, PCL
6, Windows and Macintosh environments. It is powered by 300 MHz PowerPC CPU to
ensure simplified printing even with complex files. Another feature is the
PageScope that provides supply status and remote printer configuration and
management. It also uses Konica Minolta’s Simitri Polymerized Toner in order for
the printer to create clearer and more vivid images plus crisp and full texts.
The use of this printer reduces 30% of the usual toner consumption and still
keeps the printer clean.
Magicolor desktop printer has a 9600 x 600
dpi-class resolution. This is the reason why it can deliver photographic details
as well as brilliant and consistent color gradients. The use of Enhanced
Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC) is maximized to achieve color accuracy
and consistency. eAIDC automatically calibrates the printer to achieve high
quality print for a long period of time. It is also equipped with automatic
ICC-based color matching and lively contone screening built. Both of the
foregoing advanced features were designed to optimize easy automatic color and
print correction.
Magicolor 2450 package comes with a set of printing
supplies including ink (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) with their all-in-one
imaging cartridges. Aside from that, the company is also giving a one-year
guarantee to all purchasers.
