Konica Minolta Magicolor 4650EN Color Laser Printer Review

by Susan Silvius and Melissa Riofrio

- Konica Minolta's Magicolor 4650EN color laser printer competes well with other recently tested models in our rankings. It's a little less expensive but not quite as fast or full-featured as the Oki Printing Solutions C5500n. On the other hand, the like-priced Samung CLP-660ND is much slower. For smaller offices or workgroups, the Magicolor 4650EN would be a solid choice.
