Magicolor 5650EN Color Laser

Magicolor 5650EN Color Laser Review

I purchased the magicolor 5650EN based largely on reviews from another website. My Oki C3200n had performed admirably in my home office until it didn't. I rate the print quality of the 5650 ever so slightly below the Oki. The 5650's color variation is not quite as smooth as the Oki for large photos. Also, the 5650 has a sightly heavier font when comparing the same document.

The upside to the 5650 is its speed and cost of operation. The consumables of the 5650 look to be 40%-50% of the Oki. The 5650 is built for a much higher duty cycle than it will see in my home office. However, when comparing its total cost to other printers, it looked to be a much better deal. The rather large size is not an issue for me and the high build quality gives me confidence that it will last longer than my 4 year old Oki. I've been extremely pleased with this purchase and highly recommend the magicolor 5650EN.
