Okidata C130 Toner Cartridges

The Okidata C130 is a laser device that is best suited for low-volume personal printing due to its slow speeds of around 20 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 5 pages per minute for color. This device's series model, the C130N, is slightly higher in price due to its expanded connectivity, which will enable multiple users to print through a shared network. Expert reviews don't shy away from revealing negative features like its price and slower rates, but they also note the C130 has appealing attributes such as an above par output quality and affordable toners.

While the C130 can support those with a maximum monthly duty cycle of 3,500 pages, it is targeted toward more moderate printing needs due to its RAM 256 MB and total media handling of 200 pages. The device includes a single paper tray that can store media between 4x6 inches and 8.5x14 inches, as well as a handful of different types like plain, labels, envelopes and photo paper. Users can add the optional duplex tray to enable double-sided printing and conserve media.

The unit measures 15x15x10 inches and weighs just over 30 pounds, which makes it bulkier than the typical single-function printer. Users will need to place the C130 in close proximity to their computer since its only connectivity is a USB port that will connect to the device via cable. Computers will also be needed when it comes to editing jobs, since the unit's onboard control tools are limited to a single-line monochrome LCD for status updates and alerts on Okidata C130 printer toner, as well as a 4-way navigation pad.

The C130 can support a range of projects, from photos for family albums or scrapbooks to school papers. One of this unit's most attractive features is its output quality, which performed well in expert tests and printed with a crisp resolution of 600x600 dpi using color and black Oki C130 toner.

While the unit has a high price tag, users won't spend an abundance on running costs considering its long-lasting black, cyan, yellow and magenta Okidata C130 toner cartridges can yield up to 2,500 pages. Each supply can be replaced separately, and those opting to purchase remanufactured Oki C130 toner cartridges over OEM supplies can save additional money.

Although the C130 benefits from some of the best output performances in its class of color laser printers, some buyers may not find its simple bundle of features is worth such an expensive price. For not much more, users can find entry-level multifunction devices that can handle copying and scanning, which makes this single-function printer hard to recommend.
