If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Now that’s what we think the Canon Pixma MP610 stands for. It carries over the feature set we liked about the MP600. No less and not much more.
The MP610 relies on the same five-colour ink cartridge system to drive its printing output (two blacks, and one each of cyan, yellow and magenta).
The MP610 is definitely built for the home office. It has duplexing for increased page handling and two media trays, if you are looking to switch between two paper types at the same time.
However, home offices might be miffed if heavy printing is part of their needs as the MP610 does not come with a document feeder.
While they are mostly alike, there are minute differences. The MP610 has a claimed 31ppm monochrome speed over the MP600’s 30ppm. The MP610 also has more nozzles which probably accounts for the slight increase in speed.
The MP610 also has a slightly higher scanning resolution at 4,800 x 9,600ppi compared to the MP600’s 2,400 x 4,800ppi.

Review : Konica Minolta Magicolor 4650EN
This Konica Minolta Magicolor 4650EN printer has a speeds of 24 pages per minute for plain text and 3.9 ppm for graphics. Text samples looked black and clean. Compared to other color lasers on the market, it is relatively less expensive at around $600.
This printer supports color at a resolution of 9600 dpi x 600 dpi.At 500 MHz this printer has a fast processor, which speeds up the printing of complex documents such as images.
This Konica Minolta Magicolor 4650EN printer has a well-designed control panel. For easy readability it has a four-line monochrome LCD is backlit. The dual-function button for summoning the menus or selecting a setting can be confusing. The submenus are logically organized.
This Printer is Made for those who need high volume color printing.This printer is capable of accepting pages up to legal (8.5 in x 14 in) and A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in). The 250-sheet main paper tray slides out from the printer on rails that extra support that maybe increases the component’s sturdiness.
The Magicolor 4650DN, includes duplexing (two-sided printing) and costs $799 at this writing. The printer selled with 3000-page starter toner supplies for each color.

Review:HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni
HP’s Color LaserJet CP1518ni is a cut-rate color laser printer with a polite design. Compared with about equally priced printers as the Brother HL-4040CN and the Dell Color Laser 1320c, however, it’s a lot slower and has limited paper handling.
The Color LaserJet CP1518ni turn out plain text pages at a paltry 11.2 pages per minute and graphics pages at 2.0 ppm or slower. At least the results were pleasing having black and crisp text look. Though a little dark, photos looked reasonably natural. Grayscale images were free of the green or pink overtones that we often see. ImageREt 3600 technology, HP’s own image enhancement technology might have helped here: Among other behavior, it also manipulates the size and position of the dot within the usual resolution grid, to deliver smoother images having more natural look.
The toner cartridges are having low-capacity and high-priced. The printer comes with starter supplies of each color good for 750 pages of output. A 2200-page replacement black cartridge costs $70 (which works out to 3.2 cents per page), while each 1400-page color cartridge costs $65 (the equivalent of 4.6 cents per page).
In addition being slow, the printer has design and configuration shortcomings. The 150-sheet capacity of its main paper tray is below average. When extended to accommodate legal paper, the tray sticks out the front of the printer; technically, this occupies the same amount of space as the more common rear extension, but it looks out of the ordinary. Duplex (two-sided) printing is not available. The front control panel (with a two-line, monochrome LCD) is unintuitive: There’s no clear indication that you must use the ‘OK’ button to summon the menus. Access doors and other parts feel flimsy or move clumsily. On the brighter side, the Color LaserJet CP1518ni comes with five photo card slots on the front and has an easily accessible side door for accepting a RAM upgrades (maximum 352MB).
For individual users or a small office, the Color LaserJet CP1518ni’s minimal paper handling and toner supplies are probably satisfactory. One must have extreme patience to put up with the slow engine, especially when similarly priced models are much faster and have better features.
