Okidata C530 Printer Review

A 60,000 monthly duty cycle is a number that will suit a mid-level office. The Okidata C530 color laser printer is a powerful machine that can produce as many as 31 pages per minute using only black printer ink and about 27 pages per minute in color. This speed should increase the efficiency of any office, but will not tamper with the quality of the printed documents. Using the Okidata C532 toner, a maximum resolution of 1200x600 dpi can be created, which will provide high-quality prints.

The upfront price of a brand new C530 directly from Okidata is approximately $500. Though this may seem a bit high for a mid-sized office, the various options of toners should help keep maintenance costs low. The three standard capacity color Oki C530 toner cartridges that have a maximum page yield of 3,000 pages and the black can print 3,000 pages before expiring. There are high-capacity options as well. These Okidata C530 toner cartridges each yield 5,000 pages.

Some of the built-in features that can truly enhance a work environment are duplex printing and networking. The duplex option allows double-sided printing, cutting the paper costs in half if used. Networking is a technology that allows multiple users to share the inkjet printer via ethernet interface. A USB connection is also offered for single-PC use. The CPU is 533 MHz which allows for the fast output rate and the standard memory is 256 MB which can be upgraded to 768 MB if needed.

Reviews for this device are all positive, raving about the reliability and quality of prints. The economical benefits are undeniable due to the affordable replacement Okidata C530 toner. Though remanufactured printer toner is not available for this unit at this time, it may be in the future. When that happens, replacement Okidata C530 toner will fit into any tight budget.
