Compare Prices : Oki C 3300n

Review summary: There's always somebody that has to be different, and this time it's Oki. Just when you thought that all colour printers were one of two basic shapes, along comes the C3300n. It's much longer than it is wide and not very tall at all

Pros: Individually replaceable drum assemblies, Ethernet port, Fast and quiet

Cons: LED, not laser, Poor print quality, Expensive to buy and run

Verdict: Daringly different, but too pricey to buy and run, with poor colour quality

Review summary: For a colour laser printer, anything approaching the £300 mark counts as relatively expensive. The Oki C3300 justifies its £280 price tag with full network facilities.

Verdict: The Oki does most things well. It has good network capabilities as standard and its text output is particularly dashing. However, general speed isn't quite as good as it should be, and the running costs aren't the lowest we've seen.

Review summary: Not strictly speaking a colour laser printer, OKI's latest workgroup C3300n colour printer has a 1,200 x 600dpi resolution and, like many of its siblings, uses LED technology to print. This achieves much the same effect ...

Verdict: A well priced colour laser printer that is ideal for smaller offices who need fast colour printing without worrying too much about the ultimate in image quality.

Review summary: OKI has a long history of producing LED-based colour printers that have delivered laser-like quality at high speeds....

Pros: Easy to use ; simple toner installation ; good software

Cons: Print quality ; consumables capacity/price ; no LCD panel ; Windows-only

Verdict: The C3300m is fast and easy to use C3200 but print quality could be better and it's facing some stiff competition from the likes of Dell
