The Okidata C5100 printer’s performance is very good when compared to laser printers in similar pricing ranges. It has only one drawback and that is its large size. It occupies a good amount of desk space. But, if size does not bother you, then this is great printer for you.

There are many features optional on the Okidata C5100. First, its single-pass engine design can print up to twelve color pages per minute and up to twenty black and white pages per minute.

Hopefully, these details about color laser printers has been helpful in telling you the different features that these two printers have and the cost of the ink toners that people factor in when buying a new printer. The cost of ink is always of big importance, so make sure you look into the cost of ink along with the cost of the printer.

The Oki c5100 printer features a single-pass engine design that allows it to process 12 color pages, or 20 b/w pages, per minute and it contains a 10/100 Ethernet port and USB 2.0 connectivity. It comes with four separate toners, so the entire ink cartridge does not need to be replaced if you run out of one color. The Oki toner, however, yields less pages…
