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 black cartdrige then £43 for each other color so a whole set of cartdriges costs £153 which is just £7 short of the asking price of a brand new printer. If you want larger cartdriges up to 14,000 pages you looking at £260. i have to say that in my experience the cartdriges ran out at different times which helped spread the cost a little. after i refilled my first printer once i then only wanted the smaller cartdriges at the time it was cheaper to buy the printer again.
This is a fantastic printer for any body looking for a colour lazer printer but i would use sparingly as running cost can mount
