Okidata C6000 Toner Based Printer Uses Single Pass LED Print Head Technology

Okidata C6000 Color Laser Printer

Overview

The Okidata C6000 is what can be best described as a perfectly balanced printer. It does a superb job of offering the consumer a great balance between everything that workgroup printer purchasers are looking for in a color laser printer. It is priced in the middle of the road for these types of network printers, but provides the high quality printing capability of a much more expensive printer.

Features and Functionality

Whenever you're purchasing a network printer, the pricing of the unit is something that you're always going to be worried about. Priced in the $700 range, this printer is one that most people that are looking to purchase a printer large enough to serve their entire office are going to be able to afford. However, its real savings come in the form of its overall cost of ownership. Because the Okidata C6000 cartridges are long lasting and affordable as well, they help ensure that the actual cost per page of printing on this unit is lower than the competition. The statistics on the printer are listed at 2.2 cents per page for black and white printing, and 13.8 cents for color printing.

Instead of relying on older technology which requires a document to make four passes (one for each color) through the printer, the Okidata C6000 cartridges all apply their color to the document at the exact same time. They do this by a single pass process that applies the color from the Okidata C6000 cartridges through a series of LED print heads. This produces a great quality of color, and also allows the printer to print much faster than similar models that use a four pass system.

In the case of the Okidata C6000 cartridges, those speeds are typically going to be very impressive. The monochrome print jobs are measured at a speed of 24 pages per minute. Even when printing in full color the computer can print at 20 pages per minute, which is extremely fast for full color.

The printer has a base paper capacity of 400 pages. It is able to be expanded in certain ways, most notably with the addition of a duplex unit.

Conclusion

As mentioned at the beginning of the review, this printer is sure to satisfy you in almost every regard that you may evaluate a printer by. It is affordable, fast, and prints at an exceptionally high quality. Although it wasn't mentioned earlier, this printer is also flexible, and gives you options for printing on various types of documents. This, in combination with the prices that the printer offers, can help to greatly reduce your printing costs by limiting how often you have to request third party printing.
