Consumables
magicolor 7450 consumables are intelligent, easy
to monitor, and easy to replace.
Consumable supplies are easily accessible. The
inside front cover guides you through the
replacement process.
User-Replaceable Supplies
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) toner cartridges
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) imaging units
Waste toner box
The magicolor 7450’s four (CMYK) self-contained toner cartridges are
each color-coded and keyed for error-free installation and replacement,
and feature an intelligent chip that stores information on toner levels for
accurate supplies monitoring. (See “Supplies Monitoring” later in this guide
for further information.). The magicolor 7450 also includes four (CMYK)
imaging units (OPC drum cartridges). After the printer’s laser diode has
imaged toner color onto each drum cartridge, the image is transferred to
the transfer belt and then to the media.
The printer’s waste toner box captures excess toner from the printing
process and prevents engine damage from loose toner particles.
When a toner does require replacement, it’s easily accessible via the front
cover (which features step-by-step instructions for removing empty and
adding new cartridges).
Simitri Polymerized Toner
KONICA MINOLTA’s Simitri (pronounced “symmetry”) Polymerized
Toner produces exceptional output. Its particles are smaller and more
uniform in size and shape than conventional, pulverized toner, providing
finer lines, better halftones, and improved image quality, regardless of
media type used.
Simitri Polymerized Toner also has a higher transfer efficiency than
regular toner, further contributing to output quality while producing less
waste toner in the form of toner dust, which remains on the surfaces of
drum cartridges, transfer belts, and rollers after a page has printed. A
lubricant encapsulated within the toner particles eliminates the need for
fuser oil, meaning that you have one less consumable to buy.
Polymerized Toner is also more environmentally friendly, emitting less
carbon acid gas (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (Sox) in
production process.
Simitri Polymerized Toner adheres better to the
media surface—as a result, prints are more durable,
with images and text that don’t smear or fade.
