OKI B6250 is a printer which can surprise you with the features that are quite similar to other leading models in the same category. If other major printer manufacturers can offer the same with their brand, why go for OKI? The catch lies in the feature that matters the most for buyers. We will discuss it towards the end.
A review conducted by TR finds the printer lacking built-in networking options which is quite odd considering that it was aimed at workgroups. But, the next printer in its line B6250N fills this void.
Printing speeds were found to be at 25ppm as against claimed 30ppm by running a 20-page test. Reviewers felt that the printer would have achieved 30ppm if the test was conducted with 50 pages.
Print quality is very good. Text characters are exceptionally well formed. Even though the printer’s default resolution is 600dpi, you’d be hard pressed to spot a flaw in normal viewing. Greyscale graphics are also well reproduced and the printer doesn’t get easily confused by the translation from colours to greys. There’s little banding and only the faintest hint of blotchiness in some darker tints.
OKI trumps its competitors in the price tag of its monochrome B6250 printer. The printer is priced at £303 including VAT and in comparison, Konica Minolta PagePro 4650EN is priced at £461 and Epson EPL-N3000 at £486. But, the price per print hits OKI hard. It costs 1.88p to print each page and in comparison, other competitors are doing much better at 1.78p. On a long run, price of printer gets nullified with the printing costs and could cost OKI dear.
