OKI C9400
I'd be interested in any comments on the OKI C9400 colour laser printer. Any
info would be useful - print quality, reliability, running costs etc. Thanks John -- ************************************************** *********************** Get your retail therapy at http://www.uk-onlineshopping.co.uk ************************************************** *********************** --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Printed at 1200x1200dpi, slightly better quality than the C9200 which printed at only 600x1200dpi. You can get the pdf brochure from he http://www.printerbase.co.uk/spec/pdf/c9000.pdf Cost per copy based on manufacturers stated life @ 5% of each colour and current consumable prices: A4 - 6.10p For Oki's new range you are looking at a cost of around 5.5p for A4. In my experience the reliability of Oki colour machines has generally been very good. Are you buying this machine as new or 2nd hand ? Peter |

I now have a pretty comprehensive specification for the machine. I'm still a bit worried about the running costs with toner cartidges at a little over £200 each colour and drums at £130. The machine is second hand but with a fairly low usage. Any idea how often you have to replace the drums? John --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

The machine is second hand but with a fairly low usage. Any idea how often you have to replace the drums? Toners up to 15,000 images/pages at 5% coverage on A4 Drums up to 39,000 images/pages on continuous print Fuser up to 80,000 pages Belt up to 80,000 pages The above are the manufacturers rated life, which would have been achieved under ideal operating conditions on a continuous print run, you will not get 39,000 pages out of a drum or 15,000 pages out of a toner. Before buying the machine you should ask the seller to print off the usage menu so that you can see what sort of life the consumables have left in the machine, as a new set of consumables could cost you more than the price of the machine: 4x Drums £504+vat Set of toners £659+vat Belt £152+vat Fuser £105+vat Total £1,420+vat One thing to consider that if you purchased a brand new machine you get a full set of consumables with it, except that the toners are only half capacity, you also get the 1 year warranty. Having said all that the Oki machines tend to have running costs at the low end of the market, when compared to other machines. Peter |
