Konica Minolta MagiColor 2590mf

OVERVIEW:

The Konica Minolta MagiColor 2590mf is a multifunction printer that gives small offices and businesses a reason to get a multifunction machine for their multiple office needs. While most multifunction printers provide space-saving qualities for a rather stacked workplace, the Konica Minolta MagiColor 2590mf offers a much more compact multifunction machine that will fit even in the most crowded offices. The Konica Minolta MagiColor 2590mf also offers to deliver cost-efficiency while still maintaining its solid approach in meeting varied business essentials and demands.

Editor's Pros & Cons

PROS:

The MagiColor 2590mf offers a variety of features that would rival even the more expensive multifunction printers available in the market today, especially when it comes to MagiColor 2590mf’s printing capabilities. The MagiColor 2590mf uses electrophotographic laser to produce print resolutions of up to 2400 x 600 dots per inch, with lesser variations at 1200 x 600 dpi and 600 x 600 dpi. Printing speeds for monochrome and color prints can reach up to 20 pages per minute (ppm) and 5 ppm, respectively. First page outputs for the MagiColor 2590mf are 13 seconds for monochrome and 22 seconds for color prints, both from an idle, ready state.

Copy speeds for the MagiColor 2590mf register at approximately the same rates, while the first page outputs are 23 seconds for monochrome and 52 seconds for color copies. Copy resolution registers at 600 x 600 dpi, still decent for MagiColor 2590mf’s copy function. Copy function allows customization through its settings for contrast, reduction/enlargement, collate, and quality options such as text/photo/mix and normal/fine. The MagiColor 2590mf also has a duplex option for copying, with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder that allows up to 8.5” x 11” of sheets.

Scan function for the MagiColor 2590mf is a flatbed type, with speeds 10 seconds per page for color scans and 4 seconds per page for monochrome. Color and monochrome resolution stand at 600 x 300 dpi that can be at a maximum of 600 x 600 dpi. MagiColor 2590mf uses a color depth of 24-bit for its scan feature, with up to 8.5” x 14” paper size capacity. Scan destinations include scan to PC using USB interface, scan to email using Ethernet, and SMTP authentication support. The MagiColor 2590mf also adds a couple of useful features for Windows operating system platforms, with TWAIN, WIA for the scan drivers and scan utilities such as LinkMagic and ScanSoft PaperPort 11 SE.

Fax function is impressive at 33.6 Kbps speeds, using Super G3 with a 4MB memory. Speed dial stands at 100, with one-touch dial at 9. The MagiColor 2590mf also include a group dial and broadcast functions, with group dial having 9 groups and 50 stations per group, while the broadcast function is up to 125 stations.

Other features include a camera direct photo print function via USB 1.1 port, FaxTalk communicator for digital faxing using a PC and compatibility with Windows and TrueType fonts.

CONS:

The MagiColor 2590mf lacks the speed to compete with other multifunction printers in the market, though it makes up for it through its vivid and high print resolution. However, its copy and scan resolutions are low compared to its print function. Warm up speed for the MagiColor 2590mf could also use an upgrade, as other multifunction printers perform a bit faster for warm up speeds. The MagiColor 2590mf also have a low paper capacity with only a maximum of 700 sheets, including the optional 500-sheet paper input and 200-sheet multipurpose tray, not quite suitable for high-volume print and copy production. Its manual duplex feed is also a letdown with automatic duplex function only optional and available only for plain paper.
