Users who need a fast and efficient colour printer for demanding tasks will appreciate the Olivetti D-Color P226 colour digital printer. This device is aimed at small workgroups and ensures minimal operational and ownership costs. A good set of features make the Olivetti D-Color P226 colour laser printer versatile for bulk printing, too.
Design
The Olivetti D-Color P226 printer features a minimalist and semi-industrial design with a universal build that measures 345mm wide, 480mm tall, and 518mm deep. With consumables, the device weighs approximately 29.5Kg. It's powered by a 667MHz processor and runs on 256MB of RAM. The main interfaces are FastEthernet, USB host, and high-speed USB 2.0 ports. Paper capacity is 500 sheets for the input trays, while the output bin can handle 250 sheets. There is a simplified control panel with a small display screen, one-touch operational keys, and navigation buttons. Each of the Olivetti D-Color P226 colour toner cartridges has an estimated yield of approximately 10,000 pages.
Advantages
The Olivetti D-Color P-226 laser printer is easy to share with standard network connectivity and direct USB ports. This is a fast device with a 26ppm print speed, and users can upgrade the paper capacity to 2,150 sheets and the memory to 1,280MB. Long-life components and high capacity consumables help minimise overall ownership costs. The D-Color P226 colour printer has built-in network connectivity and a duplexer. The quality of print outs is enhanced by the wider colour gamut, spherical toner, and interpolated 9600dpi resolution. Automatic colour adjustment, cleaning, and calibration maintain the sharpness, brightness, and detail of text and images.
Disadvantages
When not using Multi-Bit technology, output is produced in 600x600dpi by the D-Color P226, which is not enough when producing high quality and very detailed images. The Olivetti D-Color P226 base unit itself is quite pricey. Furthermore, the hard disk for the Olivetti P226 digital colour printer is only optional, which means additional expense if the user wants to upgrade it.
