OKI B6500dn

Advantages: Cheap, Quick
Disadvantages: Heavy, running cost

...The Oki C3200 lazer printer was great value purchase. i got mine for £160 which for a lazer printer full of toner is actually quite cheap. the printer its self is quite big and can only do up to A4. it also weights a bit so pick a spot where it will live because you wont ever feel like moving it. Using 4 color toner cartridiges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black.) the printer preduces great quality prints, thats once it warms, takes about 2mins in my experience. once it does warm up it just spits out the pages one after another almost no pause between pages, it seems to take less than 2 seconds per page. For the size of this printer i was suprised that it only holds 500 sheets of paper which means regular trips back to it. the upkeep can work out expencive depending on how much you use it toner prices start at £24 for 1,500 page...

Advantages: Print quality is great
Disadvantages: Would be good if it came with a duplex

...Ok cards on the table time. I have a real thing about Oki printers, they are well made, solid reliable printers, but the main bonus is there print quality, it really is first class. If you are looking for a quality print at a reasonable cost Oki is the place to start, and the Oki C 5650n is no exception. This printer is a good workgroup printer, it is network ready, however a duplex would be nice. The Oki C 5650n would be the Rolls-Royce of home printers, more than enough for a small or medium office. In a larger office I would keep it for those special prints where you want to impress someone. I would recommend the Oki C 5650n to anyone looking, if your not sure go and get one demostrated, I think you'll be impressed.... Read review

Advantages: Great for text
Disadvantages: A bit noisy

...I believe that most OKI microline printers are used for business purposes, as are most other dot matrix printers. The microline can be seen in Airports and Hotels all around the country. I have used them in a business capacity for several years and always found them to be outstandingly reliable. I have now been fortunate enough to pick one up for home use. It is second hand with quite a few miles on the clock but is ideal for my uses since I send out a lot of letters and type up reports etc. for my college course. Make no mistake, dot matrix printers are for text only, don't even consider printing graphics on one - it just looks crap. But as a text-only printer the Microline 520 is very hard to beat. It prints as if it was new, ribbons are very very cheap and last for .... well I can't even remember the last time I changed one. If you... Read review
