Positioning overview  Because of the difference in specification, the magicolor 5550 and 5570 serve different markets  Both printers will blossom in any type of office, but the magicolor 5570 with its higher print speed and increased processing power will also find its way into advertising and design agencies, and other heavy-duty environments where high-quality yet fast output is essential  The magicolor 5550, although not as extensively equipped as the magicolor 5570, may be a very suitable alternative to the casual user, interested in general colour printing KONICA MINOLTA PRINTING SOLUTIONS EUROPE B.V. 6 company confidential
