Anyone have one??

If so what model do you have, do you like it, and what are the tone cartridges costs?

I have seen the color printing from an OKI6100 and it is BEAUTIFUL!!
But, it is expensive....I wonder if the printer, one step lower that the 6100 prints as nice.

THANK YOU!

I have an OKI C5800Ldn and I paid $799.99. The toner is expensive (approx. $75.00 per cartridge) but the color is great. The only complaint I have about this printer is when using card stock, I have to manually feed the paper one piece at a time and make sure the paper setting is set to HEAVY. Also, I cannot print on magnet sheets with this printer so I am in the process of returning an inkjet printer that I just bought and am going to buy another one.

Hope this helps you. Good Luck!

I have thee oki 5200 & love it, the only thing is that the ink cartridges seem to be more expensive with this model number vs. the others & I can't understand why. I have paid as much as $134 for just 1 cartridge. I am able to print with cardstock on this model also, I just leave it in the bottom tray & it works great. Only up to 110lb.

I have the Oki 5500 and so far really like it. I can print on card stock. I did have to adjust some of the color settings....but really like this alot. I paid 549.00 at staples with a 250.00 rebate about a month ago.

I have an OKI 3400n and I paid less than $300... My cartridges cost about $35 or $40 per color... I have to feed the cardstock one page at a time...

I LOVE the shininess of the printed stuff! I wouldn't trade my OKI for anything... except maybe a bigger, better OKI...

Huggles!!

I just got the 5500 and its great. I had the C5100 and it was great too. Be careful though of running the heavy papers through. After doing too much with heavy papers, the black started to burn off of my graphics or wording. It seems to be a problem with the Oki. Otherwise, the color and print of beautiful. Now I have the 5100 on the floor taking up space.

I have the 5100 and have had it nearly 4 years and over 20000 copies. I love it I agree with mstkb2u that when using heavy black it tends to flake. I've gotten around it by softening the shade or using a deep navy instead.
Cartridges I now by from inkgrabber.com (thanks to Lee, Queen of the Links!) and they're always running 20% off/free shipping.
