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 Okidata Printer 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 Okidata Printer 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. We had it at work for 2 years now and it hardly had any problems. 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. We print averagely 5,000 pages a month, so it only failed once, which is already a very good record to us.
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 Printer C5500 to replace the dying $300 color laser printer I had. I was happy with the old one, but came across the Oki for a price that couldn’t be beat (less than $250 at a closeout sale) and decided to go with it. I am so happy I did. The price for the consumables is very similar to what I had been paying for the cheaper printer, so the cost to operate it is much the same, but the quality is way better!
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!
