OKI C 5600n

When Oki released their colour printers a few years ago the print results were mediocre to say the least. Colour lasers had cleaner sharper lines and the finish was simply better.

In the past couple of years Oki have refined their technology and printer software to bring us a range of machines that are truly amazing!

I would be wary of buying second hand as these machines can be given hard lifes but for a personal/office printer of this quality at a sub-£400 price point - you really do not need to look any further.

When Oki released their colour printers a few years ago the print results were mediocre to say the least. Colour lasers had cleaner sharper lines and the finish was simply better.

In the past couple of years Oki have refined their technology and printer software to bring us a range of machines that are truly amazing!

The C5600n was my printer of choice. It warms up quickly, is reltively quiet and produces laser quality fast prints at a relatively low cost.

The user interface is excellent, printer operation is simple and the replacement of toners, drums and fuser unit very simple.

There are good offers around from main line Oki dealers so shop wisely but deals can be found.

I would be wary of buying second hand as these machines can be given hard lifes but for a personal/office printer of this quality at a sub-£400 price point - you really do not need to look any further.

This specific machine can print on a wide range of material, in verious weights and even produce paper banners up to 1200mm in length (with a single pass).

Many small print shops employ these machines for small print run jobs, they provide professional quality finishes for a relatively low print cost.

One of the simple things I like with this machine is the software pack it comes with. There's a nifty little "Web Print" facility that shrinks a web page down to fit A4 paper so there's no more missing edges and no playing about to do before you print - simply hit the button and voila! A perfect page every time.

On graphic print quality, you can manage colour, contrast and brightness before each print. There's photo enhancement facilities which enable me to produce A4 full colour prints that a watercolour artist uses as a template for his actual work. Colours remain vibrant and clear.

Finally, economically speaking you can get more prints per £1 from this Oki than you can from either my Epson or HP inkjet printer and that's before you hit the "Toner Saver" button that gives you a crystal clear draft print.

This is an amazing piece of equipment that I would thoroughly recommend to anyone. If you have £400 for an office machine then this is the product you simply must consider.
