Johannesburg, 30 Mar 2005

Itec has introduced the fastest colour laser printer on the market for under R10 000. The magicolor 5430DL complements Itec`s extensive range of colour laser printer options offering an affordable advanced printing solution with no need to compromise on performance, quality or cost.

The magicolor 5430DL utilises the latest technology producing 20 pages per minute in both full colour and black and white. Setting a new standard in colour laser printing, the magicolor 5430DL presents the small and medium-size business sector with a high-productivity, affordable printing solution.

The magicolor 5430DL offers three resolution settings up to 2 400 x 600dpi Fine ART. Used in conjunction with Konica Minolta`s polymer toner and automatic colour matching calibration, the magicolor 5430DL produces smooth halftones, detailed lines and text coupled with excellent colour. Users can expect the same level of performance and speed whether printing draft pages or high quality documents.

The magicolor 5430DL supports several media types and can accept a maximum input capacity of up to 1 250 sheets. Designed for easy use, innovative features include all-in-one, intelligent toner cartridges, which combine the toner and OPC drum into one slide-in cartridge.

PageScope Web Connection (an embedded Web browser) and the desktop Status Monitor are two convenient methods of checking printer and supplies status and retrieving other real-time printer data. The printer`s keypad offers a convenient means of viewing the amount of toner remaining in each cartridge. eAIDC (enhanced Automatic Image Density Control) tracks toner density and adjusts automatically to maintain consistent colour quality.

The magicolor 5430DL retails at a price of R8 750 (excluding VAT).
