Okidata C5650 Toner Cartridges

Okidata C5650 Printer Review

For its price and size, the Okidata C5650 has a good set of features to work efficiently for small or medium-sized workgroups. Print speeds are up to 22 pages per minute for color projects and 26 pages per minute for monochrome. For networking and automatic duplexing capabilities, users should consider the manufacturer's C5650n and C5650dn color laser printer models.

Despite a somewhat large size of 7x22x13 inches and hefty weight of 63 pounds, the unit includes a standard media capacity of 400 pages that can be upgraded to a maximum of 850 pages, and a total monthly duty cycle of 60,000 pages to support sizable printing volumes for smaller workgroups. Users can also upgrade the standard RAM of 64 MB to 320 MB. Its media handling is versatile, accepting a minimum size of 3x5 inches and maximum banner size of 8.5x48 inches.

While the unit incorporates single-pass color technology and high-definition Okidata C5650 printer toner, experts have reviewed photos to finish with an unnatural look and lackluster quality. Text and basic graphics were tested to have adequate quality, printing with a maximum resolution of 1200x600 dpi.

The unit uses separate black, cyan, magenta and yellow Okidata C5650 toner cartridges that have standard replacement supplies with a capacity of 2,000 pages. Users can also purchase high-capacity Oki C5650 toner cartridges that have a yield of up to 5,000 sheets each. Starter Oki C5650 toner is provided, but when these expire, users should consider remanufactured replacements for lower costs..

Considering its large-volume features and quick speeds, the unit has a moderate and affordable price tag. Due to availability of low-cost toners users can also enjoy inexpensive running costs. With flexibility that allows for the production of large banner size projects and upgradeable media handling, this laser printer is a suitable option for small or medium workgroups.
