Editorial note

The OKI ML280 Elite printer stands out for its impressive printing speed, reaching up to 300 characters per second, making it an ideal choice for optimizing productivity in work environments. Its modern and compact design allows for easy integration into various spaces, adding to its appeal. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The lack of color printing limits its use for documents requiring colorful graphic elements. Additionally, the printing resolution of 240 x 216 DPI may not satisfy users demanding high image quality. The maximum number of copies limited to three can also be a barrier for those needing to print multiple documents simultaneously. Regarding connectivity, serial interfaces may restrict compatibility with modern systems that prefer USB or wireless connections. In terms of robustness, the OKI ML280 Elite shines thanks to the lifespan of its print head, which can reach 200 million characters, ensuring durable performance without loss of quality. The noise level is relatively low, especially in silent mode, which is appreciated in noise-sensitive environments. Finally, although the value for money is fair, the limitations in features and compatibility could affect the perception of its value. Overall, the OKI ML280 Elite is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and fast printer, but it may not suit all users due to its restrictions.
