OKI B432dn Review
Although technically not a laser printer—because it uses LEDs instead of a laser to draw the image of each page on its drum—the OKI B432dn ($349) uses the same technology otherwise, putting it firmly in the monochrome laser category for all practical purposes. Beyond that, its strong points include both its level of paper handling and its low running cost. The combination will make it of particular interest to small offices with both heavy-duty print needs and an appreciation of how spending just a little less on each printed page can add up to big savings in the long run.
The advantage of the B432dn's ($335.00 at Amazon) 1.6 cents-per-page running cost will vary depending on how much you print and what printer you're using for the comparison. The OKI B412dn ($199.00 at Office Depot® & OfficeMax®) , for example, also has a low running cost for its price. However, the printer itself is $150 less than the B432dn, and its claimed running cost is 0.3 cents her per page .
The diffe...
Falling in the same category as monochrome laser printers, the LED-based OKI B432dn is a little slow for the price, but makes up for it with an attractively low running cost.
