Konica Minolta and Canon remain top of the best printer list as the two manufacturers have convinced dozens of customers to but their magicolor 1600W and imageCLASS LBP-6000 models respectively. The two printers are featured with laser technology and are mainly dedicated to home use, though they can also be acquired by a busy professional. These machines develop high printing speed and remarkable monthly duty cycles, which means that they are able to provide a very good efficiency, as well. As for the prices, the two printers barely reach $100, depending on store and offer.

For instance, the Konica Minolta magicolor 1600W model is priced in the region of $100 and comes with an outstanding configuration which includes among others a pretty fast processor and large memory. More exactly, the system incorporates a 16 MB memory, while its interface offers a USB port so you can stick the system by other sticks and devices. This printer is able to process up to 20 pages per minute in black and white mode, using a 1200 x 600 dpi resolution, and up to five pages in color mode.
