Okidata C9300 Printer Review

The Okidata C9300 is a color LED printer designed for the medium or large office, whereas the Okidata C5100 toner printer is for small to medium. It has blazing fast speeds, excellent print quality, and the ability to print on large formats. LED toner has a somewhat glossy appearance that may be a problem for some users.

The OKI C9300 uses LED technology for printing. LED printers are similar to lasers, but are often capable of faster speeds and can have better reliability since they use fewer moving parts for printing. The main disadvantage of LED printers is that the toner can sometimes have a more glossy appearance than laser toner. This is the case with the OKI C9300, but is not so bad as to be distracting.

One of the main benefits of the Okidata C9300 specifically is its ability to handle large paper formats. It supports up to "tabloid extra" size, which is 12 by 18 inches. It can also handle media up to 110 lb. index in thickness. This allows for a lot of flexibility, and makes it ideal for small production houses or graphics departments, which often have a need for high quality prints in large formats. The C9300 also has the muscle to handle graphics-intensive printing, with a 450 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM, which can be upgraded to 1 GB.

Okidata C9300 toner cartridges have a capacity of 15,100 pages each. The Okidata C9300 toner cartridges are separate from the printing drum, meaning the drums are only replaced when necessary, resulting in lower costs for the user.

Print speed is extremely fast, especially for color. Color printing can reach 30 pages per minute, while monochrome prints can reach 37 pages per minute. Print quality is excellent. Text is sharp, and color and graphics are impressive. The slightly glossy appearance is not distracting, and sometimes enhances the look of prints.

Overall, the OKI C9300 is an impressive printer that provides great flexibility for any office. Its large format capabilities are its main draw.
