Pros: Excellent price, solid quality output. Flexible interfaces and lots of options.
Cons: Slow Wake Up from Energy Saver mode. Power hog. Odd software installs.
Summary: This review is from a mainstream typical solo user. I don't print all that often but when I do, I want ease and quality. I've wanted a color laser for home use for nearly 15 years but technology and price kept that from happening until now. While I do ... read more

Pros: Low price, nice quality, no more inkjet cartridges
Cons: Fatal hardware error, tiny memory, slow
Summary: I picked up my 2300DL at Sam's Club last week. Got it home, set it up pretty easily, and printed about 25 pages. It does weigh a lot (65 lbs.) but as others have said, it's taller rather than wide, doesn't take up a huge amount of desk or counter ... read more

Pros: Great print quality. Great price. Responsive customer service.
Cons: Defects...either in design or in manufacturing.

Cons: Expensive to maintain. Hard to find support.
Summary: We purchased the Minolta 2300 DL to print full color sheets. I have had this for about 3 months now and have printed approx. 10,000 sheets. I seem to have had quite a few problems with this printer. It will randomly stop in the middle of printing and say ... read more

Pros: Glossy, high-resolution output. Colors very good.
Cons: Hard to read messages on LED. Minolta accessories expensive.
Summary: Laser printers are potentially superior to inkjets because of the laser's unsmudgeable ink. However, for years the affordable laser printer with good resolution and good colors has been a mirage on the horizon. Finally, it has arrived as the Minolta ... read more

Pros: Instant quality prints, Useful menu options, accepts multi media
Cons: Loud, Accessories expensive, slow, color cracks when folded
Summary: I bought this printer about 6 months ago. I had been using it on and off - not too often. My major prints were business cards, since my sharp copier doesn't do well with cover stock. I recently started using it more and more and I only have a few ... read more

Pros: Great price, good quality color printing, quicker than ink jet.
Cons: Bigger than ink jet, noisier.
Summary: I got the Minolta color laser printer to print brochures and catalogs that were too slow and too expensive on my ink jet printer. I love the quality and speed and the price was a definite plus. Using just bright white plain paper, I feel photos printed ... read more

Pros: Easy loading paper tray. Doesn't jam very often. Can't think of much good to say.
Cons: Color doesn't match photos. Non-back lit LCD display (literally impossible to read). Error messages.
Summary: The Magicolor 2300DL usually is on the fritz. Usually asks for toner...never needs it. Printer's noisy...heavy...lousy. Lousy. Lousy. Lousy
