The OKI 3300n is a professional piece of kit.
OKI isn't the most obvious brand, but we were lucky enough to see several of their more recent products demonstrated at a trade show. The design of the gear is nothing very visually special, but the print quality is simply excellent. As a result of that meeting, we picked up one of these for small business use, and liked it enough that we bought another.
On the one hand, ... ...is a very good printer. OKI build quality is pretty good. Print quality is outstanding, especially given the relatively high colour print speed of 12ppm.
It goes without saying that if you're after a plain black-and-white device, this is not the one to go for. If you're not looking for a printer with network capabilities (and if you're not in an office environment, there's a reasonable likelihood that you aren't) then again this is ... more

On the one hand, there's a temptation to buy all-in-one devices where space is limited - such as printer + scanner + fax. Obviously this device fails miserably from that perspective; it's just a printer. On the other hand, for the purposes of the small business it is a very good printer. OKI build quality is pretty good. Print quality is outstanding, especially given the relatively high colour print speed of 12ppm.
It goes without saying that if you're after a plain black-and-white device, this is not the one to go for. If you're not looking for a printer with network capabilities (and if you're not in an office environment, there's a reasonable likelihood that you aren't) then again this is unlikely to be the economical alternative to meet your needs. If you're after a printer that produces the best possible photographic output, you'd be better served by a device optimised to that aim.
But if you're after a network-capable colour printer with down-to-earth, reasonable up-front and running costs, you could do a lot worse than the C3300n.
