In Short: The OKI C6000n is currently OKI's least expensive PostScript3 compatible color printer joining the OKI C6100 in replacing the 5400 series. It is designed to compete in the personal or small/ home office color laser printer space though it is currently priced more like a business class model. The single-pass engine design can print up to 20 color pages per minute and up to 24 in black & white. The printer setup took a bit longer than most due to the four individual drums that must be installed along with the four different toners but OKI includes excellent documentation to guide you. The software setup went much faster due to the advanced and intuitive installer provided by OKI. The OKI C6000n produced very good output from all tested applications at it’s best printing mode, (1200 x 600 dpi). The C6000n has a 300-sheet feeder and a 100-sheet MP tray to handle heavier stock or envelopes. A 530 sheet optional 2nd feeder and auto-duplex unit are also available. The OKI C6000n is designed to work in almost any environment like MAC OS, Windows, or most any other OS. The base model has USB and 10/100Base T Ethernet interfaces, PCL5c, and PostScript3 emulations. The C6000dn is bundled with auto-duplex.
The Bottom Line: The OKI C6000n has adequate speed and has above average print quality, especially if you like the glossy sheen. The C6000n works well in any low volume application and with any current operating system including Mac OS. For higher printing volume applications we would recommend stepping up to the business class models for lower operating costs and on-site service. Like most current printers, the C6000s ship with starter toners that have a much shorter life than the replacements.
