Oki C5100 Gives Value For Money With Generic Toners

The Okidata C5100 laser printer is performing really well for its cost. There is one downside about the printer, which is that it is quite big, so in case you purchase it, it'll take up a large space on your desk. But when size is not an issue this is the best printer for you.

There are many features optional on the Okidata C5100. First, its single-pass engine design will print over twelve color pages per minute and up to twenty black and white pages per minute. This makes it one of the speediest printers in its price range. The Okidata C5100 also has a 250-page feeder, and an auto-duplex unit is also optional separately. A network-ready 10/100 Ethernet port and USB 2.0 connectivity round off its features.

This printer contains four different toner cartridges. Every toner has a separate color. These colors are black, cyan, yellow and magenta. This is a very effecient system, because if one color ink goes empty, you have no need too to replace the whole toner. You just replace that specific ink. The Okidata toner prints less pages than a typical toner. A complete set costs about $150 for a branded toner, less for a generic.

The solid ink produced by the specific brand have noticeably higher prices. Some websites had the pack of four toners for about four hundred dollars! I would suggest the generic branded toners because they perform the same function at a lower price.

Okidatadata 5300 is another printer done by the same company. The printer has twice the amount of RAM in comparison to Okidata C5100 and twice its processor speed. But the printer speed is equal; the Okidata 5300's ink prints twelve color pages per minute and 20 black and white pages per minute.

Hopefully, this information about color laser printers has been helpful in telling you the different features that these two machines have and the price of the ink toners that people factor in when buying a new printer. The price of ink is always of great importance, so make sure you look into the price of ink along with the price of the printer.
