Quality
The Okidata Oki C5510n multifunction turned in a mixed quality performance in CNET Labs' printing tests. Black-text prints were terrific and sharp even at small sizes, and grayscale graphics displayed nearly perfect gradients and good detail. Color prints were another story, with oversaturated and mismatched colors. In some cases, this printer failed to color inside the lines, and it spliced red into orange and yellow. When we investigated further by printing images of Impressionist paintings from the Web, the prints looked vivid and lacked obvious errors. Our color and grayscale test scans were sharp and clear, with nicely balanced contrast. Colors were a bit dull but easy to perk up with the bundled software.

The guides and the manual included with the Okidata Oki C5510n multifunction are clear, but we'd like to see just one comprehensive manual instead of two CDs and a pair of printed guides. The support area of the Oki Web site offers helpful information about consumables and accessories, as well as drivers, manuals, specs, and a knowledge base. For on-the-spot assistance, you can stick the included Handy Reference guide onto the printer's cover.

This multifunction is covered by a one-year limited warranty with overnight exchange for defective units and a five-year limited warranty for the LED printheads. Toll-free tech support is available 24/7.
