    Best Konica Minolta Printers

    Hi guys.
    I am looking for a Konica Minolta printer that be same in maintenance kits with some similar models. Printers that works well like C452 series. Is there any out there? Do you have any suggestion?
    P.S: and the cost is more important.
    Thanks In Advance

        Are you looking for color, what is your normal/max monthly volume, do you need faxing, scanning, any finishing capabilities, windows or MAC environment. What is the $ range you want to stay in. BTW, someone mentioned the C360 because you put "like the C452". This is not a desktop printer (unless you have a very sturdy desktop and high ceilings).

          KonMin makes great full size machine, likely the best in the industry, but they have never been able to make a good desktop printer.

            Get the Bizhub C35 if you hate everything and everybody, or if you are planning to film an homage to "Office Space" and need a machine for that one scene.

            I've had better reliability from the C35-on-steroids-with-a-boob-job Bizhub C3350.

            I don't trust the C3850FS, primarily because of the FS. Seems like a desperate attempt to fill a gap that didn't need to be filled.

            You will find problems with any model, that is the nature of the beast.

              I work on a campus with multitudes of the bizhub C3100P and have had great success with them.

              Just make sure you turn Power Consumption In Sleep Mode to Disable and have the latest firmware, as they had a 'not waking from sleep mode on print' issue a while back.

                Konica Minolta in my opinion don't make very good desktop models, however their office range are excellent.

                If you're looking for a desktop machine i'd go for a Canon.

                  I am a bigtime Minolta fanboy however i have to agree the KM desktop printers are the suckage.
                  take a look at Kyocera desktop printers, im also trained on those and other than maintenance the fleet we have are relatively trouble free.
                  We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
                  The medication helps though...

                      Then I wouldn't look at Konica for these... Unless they still make something like the C360P which is the mfp engine minus the scanner and extra cassettes.

                      Good luck.
