OKI lazer printer cheap and cheerful

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...

OKI B4100 LED page printer

Advantages: Inexpensive cost per page, quick, parallel and USB interfaces
Disadvantages: no printed manual, no cables, slightly tricky to get going

...Having suddenly started generating a lot of monochrome output I decided to take the pressure off my existing photoprinter - especially as the price per page is in excess of 30p. I did a bit of research and ended up with this one that fit my needs - I needed something with a parallel interface to couple onto a network print server I already had, or that had an ethernet interface built in. The latter pointed me in the direction of printers in the £150-200 range - way more than I really wanted to pay. Anyway - enough of my life story - I bought it, it arrived and I unpacked it. It's a reasonably compact footprint for a printer - and unlike most others in the price range it has a proper paper drawer - so your unused paper stock is not out and being covered in dust. All the packaging removed, toner cartridge was installed (slight toner...

Review of OKI B 4100

Oki toner cartridge - Professional, excellent quality printing.

Advantages: Professional quality. Simple to change, good colour
Disadvantages: Expensive, not sure if it is recyclable

...I have been using the Oki toner cartridges for apporximately 12 months. In my opinion the quality is fantastic, clear and precise. When a notice pops up telling me to replace the cartridge it can be ignored for quite a considerable time, even when running low on certain colours I have still found that the quality is good. When the time comes that the colour reproduction is not good enough then as long it is not for an important document I have found that by just simply removing the cartridge, shaking it about a bit and replacing it, it can bring the colour back to life and will add extra life to it.On the whole I feel it produces professional print quality. I think it is an expensive item but have not compared the longevity against an alternative product....

Review of OKI toner cartridge (43324422)

Oki is OK

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...

laser printer

Advantages: laser printer
Disadvantages: bit dark on photos

...…………………………̷ 0;….................................................................. ................. Using a laser printer instead of a normal standard injet printer is great, there a lot faster than normal inkjet printers, there a lot more reliable and can carry on printing for ages without you worrying whether the things going to blow up or over heat or not. But most importantly of all, they have such better print quality, the ink stands out amongst the page which is what gives you that shiny ink and picture pages and it makes documents and pictures not only look great quality, but very professional too. This is why companies use them, so that their printed documents look a lot more professional, however all this does come at a price. These are known as office...

Review of Dell Laser Printer 1720dn

Give your printer a proper clean

Advantages: Quick and easy, cleans well
Disadvantages: None

... Fargo Printer Cleaning Kit The Fargo printer cleaning kit is designed for Fargo printers. Fargo printers are printers that are designed to print on plastic cards, using a ribbon. In most of these printers it is nearly impossible to get into the inner workings to clean manually, and by design they get dust inside which makes for poor quality prints and eventually, jamming of the cards. It is important therefore to periodically clean your printer using a Fargo cleaning kit. The whole procedure will take you less than ten minutes and will have your printer back to life again as good as new in no time at all. In the box In the box are the following: * 4 Printhead Cleaning Swabs - these are moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol and should be used for cleaning the printhead inside the printer. * 10...

Smallest A3 Printer EVER

Advantages: A3, Small, Fast with great picture quality
Disadvantages: Cannot find one

...I work in a busy mid-size office and we have had a colour HP printer for some time now taking up a large area of the office space. We have finally gotten around to taking the decision to upgrade and thoroughly reviewed all the options and reviews on the Internet and came across the OKI C8600. Initially impressions were unbelievable, it is quite, fast and half the size of all other printers on the market at a really good price. You have to see it to believe it. Now instead of a large A3 laser printer taking up a whole corner of the office, the C8600 is happily sitting on my desk and we have a coffee machine in the corner instead. Everyones happy. A few details on features: Design: The design of the C8600 is flawless. It is just an amazing looking A3 printer that fits on my desk and everyone in the office connect to it over...

Review of OKI C 8600n

Oki 5600n Is Amazing!

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 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...

Very Good Basic Dot Matrix Printer

Advantages: Quick reliable dot matrix printer
Disadvantages: Just remember it is a dot matrix

...I have used these printers on and off for over 12 years. They are generally reliable and good for a 9 pin dot matrix. Some early ones had problems with weak drive gears, but later ones are fine. I had to go through about 50 of these looking for dodgy gears and replacing them!!!!! They support both IBM and EPSON control codes and have an easy to use menu which prints as it goes. They are available with both Centronics and RS232 sockets. Extras include various tractor feed modules. For business use with pre printed stationary they are excellent and are my favourite DMP. Scoring Picture Quality, well it is a dot matrix hence poor. it is also mono. In general OKI printers are very good, we have a colour laser at work which is very good and I will review it and the bigger version we get our customers to buy. My only...
