We’re going to use that word again; that word that is probably the most commonly used word for business printers – workhorse. The Oki C531DN, indeed, has the capability to be a workhorse for your office or business. It certainly has all the right attributes for it. It is also important to add that the Oki C531DN colour laser printer is the elder cousin of another printer from the same Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that we’ve already reviewed – Oki C331DN. Owing to their brotherly ... Keep Reading
Kyocera ECOSYS P6130CDN Review: A High Volume Workhorse with a Unique Design
There are many challenges that Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) face but the most frustrating of the lot has to be scalability. Scalability, in simplest of terms, is a business’s ability to expand its resources and capabilities so as to keep pace with increasing demand for its services or products. For example, if you are set up to provide a service to 20 clients but you suddenly get 30 contracts, your business will need to scale up to keep up or deliver substandard service. Unfortunately, ...

Oki MB451DNW Review: Good Things Don’t Always Come in Small Packages
The last time we reviewed an Oki printer, it was Oki C331DN workhorse of a printer with exceptional speed and paper handling capabilities. We explained in that review that the OKI C331DN is meant for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), offices, or workgroups.Most of that printer’s features also reflected its intended target audience. Well, the same can be said for the Oki MB451DNW monochrome laser multifunction printer i.e. its features point to its intended target audience. You see, the Oki ... Keep Reading
Brother MFC-L2700DW Review: Suitable For Heavy Personal Use and Small Offices
In our printer reviews for you, we’ve been focusing extensively colour printers till now. We haven’t really reviewed a purely monochrome laser printer for you.

The Brother MFC-L2700DW is actually an all-in-one printer that is supposed to be ideal for business use. This is evident from the fact that this printer is a part of Brother’s business ...

Oki C331DN Review: A Good All Rounder That Excels In Speed and Paper Handling
“Workhorse” is one of the most common terms used for laser printers. The reason for this is fairly obvious – that most people only consider buying a laser printer if volume printing is a requirement for them. If that is your criteria as well, then you'll find it difficult to do better than Oki C331DN colour printer. The Oki C331DN is, indeed, a workhorse of its class. While intended for home use, it has proven to be more than suitable for small to medium workgroups and offices. This is ... Keep Reading
Fuji Xerox CP225W Review: An Environment Friendly SLED Colour Printer
If we were to summarise the Fuji Xerox CP225W laser colour printer in one sentence, we would probably emphasise on its excellent output quality combined with numerous connectivity options. However, at the same time, we would be hard-pressed to not mention the fact that this is a printer that costs a bit more to run than most of its competitors. In other words, the Fuji Xerox CP225W is a colour laser printer that is most suited to home and small office owners who don’t plan on using it ... Keep Reading
Brother HL3150CDN Review: Speed and Economy Combined With Auto Duplexing
Most of our reviews till now have been of all – in – one or multifunction printers. Those types of printers, however, are most suited for heavy users and larger businesses, even though some of them are classed as suitable for SMEs. For many of you, the printers we’ve been reviewing till now may seem a little too top-heavy and, hence, even financially demanding. If you don’t want all the bells and whistles and only need a printer that can perform the absolute basic function admirably, then the ... Keep Reading
Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM305DF Review: A Big and Burly SME Machine for Heavy Use
Whether all – in – one or multifunction, most modern day business printers are categorically designed to be compact and lightweight. In fact, such has been the focus on these characteristics that most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) even compromise on output quality and speed to ensure that their machines are not too huge. This is precisely why many of the colour laser printers that we’ve reviewed fall short when we assess their overall output quality. In fact, we don’t remember ... Keep Reading
Fuji Xerox CM225FW Review: A Compact All – In – One That Actually Has Good Output Quality
Whether it is a poor marketing strategy or simply more focus on enterprise level products (much more likely), Fuji Xerox doesn’t have a very good market share when it comes to its consumer products. What this means is that even though a Fuji Xerox product may fit the needs of a consumer, it is very rare that that individual adds it to his shortlist. However, that doesn’t mean that their consumer products such as the Fuji Xerox CM225FW all – in – one printer can't fulfil the needs of the typical ... Keep Reading
Brother MFC9340CDW Review: Best of the Brother 9000 Series
While it isn’t one of those unsaid, informal rules of an industry, it does happen quite often i.e. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the printing industry launch multiple printers at the same time. The Brother MFC9340CDW was one of those printers. It was released as the baton carrier for the entire Brother 9000 series along with two other printer models – Brother MFC9130CW and Brother MFC9330CDW. The entire Brother 9000 series was introduced to the world by the OEM just over three years ... Keep Reading
