Macworld's Oki Data C5150n Coverage

  • Oki Data C5150n This color printer uses LED technology instead of lasers, but lays down the same cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner (CMYK) as a laser printer. Being a GDI (Graphics Device Interface) printer, as opposed to a PostScript or PCL, your Mac does most of the image processing work (rasterizing) and sends the page to the printer, much like an inkjet printer.

Expensive toner and the lack of automatic duplexing make this small-office printer less appealing than it could be.
