The Oki C3450 is a professional quality desktop colour printer, perfect for the home or home office. It is desktop size, and uses Oki's digital LED technology, similar to laser printing, to create fast, high quality prints in a single pass. With network capabilities included as a standard feature, this reliable machine is great for a multi-computer home or sturdy enough for a home office.
Design
The C3450 leads the pack in desktop colour printing, with lightning fast speeds of 20 pages per minute black and 16 pages per minute colour. The LED printing technology is more affordable than a laser printer in this same class, and produces high-gloss results for a professional quality look and feel. The C3450 handles all standard media sizes and can also print banners. This printer is designed to be user friendly, with toner cartridges and paper jam areas easily accessible, and an easy-to-navigate menu on the printer itself. Oki C3450 toner is available in both standard and high-yield cartridges to maximise efficiency. These high-yield cartridges offer 2,500 pages, the printer's suggested monthly duty cycle, and are competitively priced.
Advantages
Networking is a standard feature on the Oki C3450, and it is compatible with Windows and Macintosh computers, making it perfect for small home networks or the home office. For professional quality prints and an impressive speed, look no further. The Oki C3450 is certainly at the top of its class.
Disadvantages
As this printer is designed for home use, the monthly duty cycle is relatively low. Though it supports manual duplexing, no automatic duplexing add-ons are offered by Oki. The printer comes with a starter Oki C3450 toner for 500 pages, so more toner will be needed fairly soon after. The standard memory included is only 32 MB, which may need to be expanded for multitasking or large jobs in a home office setting.
