Advantages: Very reliable, low cost per page
Disadvantages: None

I bought first Kyocera FS 5030N for my company at February 2007. After six months we own another four of those. It shows how satisfied I am with quality of that product. First quick description. It's medium speed (24 pages per minute), color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK), laser printer with network interface (letter N on the end of a product name). It prints with same speed for B/W and color documents. Maximum print resolution is 600x600dpi. ...
...memory, high capacity output tray. Kyocera has one more ace in its sleeve - drivers. Imagine that they developed one super-driver for all printers/copiers they produce. That way once you installed any Kyocera printer, you can add more and don't care about driver; it's already there. And now from my experience with FS 5030N. We use 5030DN models (network interface plus duplex unit). No problems what so ever. Never failed. Installation is dead easy, ... Read review

Advantages: Low cost, relatively quiet, good software pack & support from Oki
Disadvantages: Wish it was A3 for this price but nothing else springs to mind

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 ...
...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 ... Read review

Advantages: Superb print quality, speed and versatility
Disadvantages: without using the colour correct utility the colours are saturated

I have had both HP and Samsung lasers and this one blows both away into the weeds for quality and cost of colour prints. The only down side is all colours are by default over saturated BUT this is readily correctable using the supplied colour correction utility. After you have set this up to your satisfaction the printer delivers consistent high quality glossy finish prints. The user manual has been well thought out and is easy to follow - I hate ...

Advantages: Speed
Disadvantages: None

Oki make good printers, the Oki B 4600 is a very fast mono printer. Faster than a fast thing going really fast! This is great if you're printing off lots of copies in a hurry, or ideal for printing customer receipts or information when the customer is waiting. This printer is quite small so is good if space is a problem. There are a couple of minor things to watch out for, the drum on this machine seems to get damaged quite easily, if your taking ...
...the surface of the drum. Also the front control panel looks nice but is easy to mark. Like I said these are really minor issues. The main point about the Oki B 4600 is speed of print with reasonable quality, if that's what you're searching for you've found it. ... Read review

Advantages: Perfect CD printing, Photo paper printing and normal paper printer quality!
Disadvantages: Large in size and has a few problems in CD printing (as explained in main review)

...ink being not even geniune Epson Ink, was perfect and high quality. The problems that i had was after i set everything up, and was about to test print my first few CDs, the printer said something was blocking the printer head. I had to restart the printer several times, and restart the computer 2 times to get it back to working/printing condition. What i learned was that when you want to print on CDs, you turn on the printer, and wait until it has ...
...ebay, and really it does not affect image quality as i have been using Epson for years and never bought genuine epson branded ink. Plus you can save a lot by buying Epson (in particular R285) because you can buy a CISS system for it reducing your printing costs significantly!!! ... Read review
