    Strengths: Speed is very good, well built printer.

    Weaknesses: LARGE

    Overall Evaluation: This printer is huge but it has very good quality and prints fast. Network connection is a nice feature. If you look you can find some good deals on this printer in stores.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Relatively quiet, fast printing, nice quality for documents, easy toner cartridge handling

    Weaknesses: Photo printing a bit too dark

    Overall Evaluation: I'm really happy with this printer - i'ts much quieter than my Konica Minolta and grateful to find one where I don't have to fight to replace toner cartridges - these slip in and out like a breeze. Would not be good for lots of photo printing but I don't do it that much anyway so tweaking the photos is not a big deal to me. Overall, very good printer.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Cost (I bought mine at Office Depot for just $175!), speed, output, easy setup

    Weaknesses: Photos print too dark, plus only a single sheet multi-purpose tray? That sucks!

    Overall Evaluation: I just bought the C3400n 5 nights ago and have used it to print roughly 500 color real estate flyers (heavy on photos). I love how simple this printer is to use, and how fast it prints. WOW! HOWEVER..

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fairly compact for a color laser with full-size toner cartridges

    Weaknesses: Image prints too dark, require adjustments to be WYSIWYG

    Overall Evaluation: Easiest setup & least expensive toner cartridges of any color laser I've tested. Regular toner cartridges are only about $25 each and drop right in after you "pop the top." You can also get a MICR toner cartridge from checksnet website that lets you print foll-color checks that are readable at banks and retail stores. My only complaint, which is true of many color lasers, is that getting image prints to match what you see on your monitor will require tinkering with printer settings. However, the Okidata 3400n does create razor sharp edges.

What You Should Know about the C3400n

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.
