How to Shop for Laser Printer Toner Cartridges...

Oki C5100 And Its Various Features   

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 great space on your desk. But when size is not a concern this is the best printer for you.

The Okidata C5100 has a ton of features available on it. Just to begin with, it has a single pass engine which can print up to 12 color pages per minute and up to 20 black and white pages per minute. This makes it one of the faster products within this price range. The Okidata C5100 has a 250 sheet feeder too, and an auto duplex option is also available. Further characteristics are a 10/100 Ethernet network port and an USB 2.0 port.

The printer contains four different types of toner cartridges, one for each color it uses to print. This is a remarkably efficient system because if the cyan ink is all used up, then you don't need to purchase all the color toner, just the cyan one. The Okidata toner, unfortunately, lasts for less pages than your standard toner, and an entire set will set you back about 0, if you purchase generic.

If you decide to purchase an official solid ink, you'll see that they are significantly more expensive. Some web sites had a set of four toners selling for nearly four hundred dollars! The generic brands give you much more bang for your buck because they do the exact same thing at a lower cost.

The same company also manufactures Okidata 5300. The speed of its microprocessor is double that of Okidata C5100 and the RAM is also double. Despite these features both have the same print speeds. Okidata 5300's ink can print twelve color pages per minute and twenty black and white pages per minute.

Hopefully this introduction to these amazing color laser printers has helped in describing the various features the two printers have and the costs of the ink toners that people always take into consideration when purchasing a printer. Ink costs are constantly a concern no matter what printer model is bought, so take the time to research and compare ink costs along with printer costs.
