Where I work we just bought a new Minolta Laser Printer. Until then I had no idea Minolta was getting into another job market besides cameras. I knew they are making digital cameras now, but printers? When did this happen? And WHY?

Yeah I've only ever seen just one Minolta Magicolor (sp?) printer. And it appeared to be quite old so apparently they've been making printers for quite some time.

Hey, I just did a search on Google and the division that makes printers is called Konica Minolta.

I'm thinking it's a joint effort because of the same logos. I'll look into it.

They have been making them at least 20yrs.
