Choosing an LED based printer over a laser based printer is a personal choice. Each technology uses a completely different dither pattern. Laser printers tend to produce a more “feathered” dither - which some people like and think looks better. LED printers produce a more “crisp” dither more akin to offset printing - which I personally prefer.
The OKI Printers C5500n is a great LED based printer. I purchased mine as a floor model close out from a local office supply store at a discount. It replaced my current C5200n. The toner used in the C5500n and C5800ldn is different from that used in the previous generation 5100/5200/5300 units. Colors appear a bit more vivid with the new toner.
My first print job was 600 fliers for a silent auction at church - each w/ 16 photos and descriptions. The printing took about 30 minutes including loading more paper. Everyone was impressed with the fliers. I compared the printouts from the C5200n and the C5500n and noticed the standard dither is a bit finer on the OKI Printers C5500n but still noticeable. (The standard on the C5500n is similar to the “best” quality on the C5200n.)
Don’t buy this printer to print digital photos for the relatives. Keep a nice inkjet for that. DO buy this printer for anything you want to print in color on plain paper and have look nice. Things like fliers, menus, brochures, etc. are the sweet spot for these kinds of printers.

This is a very good LED printer. The only problem we had was that the component failed and it couldn’t print for a while. Oki did send us a replacement in two days. Overall, we are very happy with the printer because it prints excellent quality black and white copies. The color prints are also very nice. We especially like the “glossy” finish this printer has. It makes everything we print looks very visually pleased and expensive.
We purchased this printer from Staples and used to buy the supplies from Office Depot. Amazon sometimes have the drums and toners in stock, so we also buy the supplies from Amazon to save some costs. The average cost for printing per page is considerably lower than a lot of laser printers out there.

I recently bought the Okidata C5500 to replace the dying $300 color laser printer I had. I use the printer to print our weekly bulletins at church and also the color brochures for our small business. The color is bright and crisp, text is clear and easy to read. Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat! Would I blink at paying the full retail price for it? No, not since I’ve seen it in action and put it through it’s paces myself. It is well worth the price difference between it and the one I had previously. I am very happy with it!
