We’re on the verge of the $99 color laser printer 25 years after the first monochrome laser printer shipped for $3,500. The brand new Konica Minolta magicolor 1600W is closing in on the hundred-dollar price point. When M. David Stone annointed it the pcmag.com Editors’ Choice as an affordable (mild understatement) personal color laser printing choice June 17, we cited a street price of about $180. Actually, it’s better than that: Street price at a lot of retailers is now in the $120 range. And marketing being what it is, something that’s $120 often finds its way to being $99. Not yet, but stay tuned in the second half of 2009.
