Editorial note

The OKI B4545 printer stands out with its fast printing speed of 20 pages per minute, making it an ideal choice for demanding work environments. Its laser printing technology ensures exceptional image quality, and the built-in duplex printing allows for optimized paper usage. Additionally, the all-in-one features, including scanning and copying, effectively meet various professional needs. However, some drawbacks should be noted. The maximum print resolution of 600 x 600 DPI may seem limited for tasks requiring fine details, particularly for graphics or images. The weight of 15 kg also makes the printer less portable, which could pose a problem in tight workspaces. Furthermore, the lack of duplex scanning features and the internal memory of only 64 MB may reduce efficiency when handling more complex print jobs. In terms of scores, the user experience is generally positive, with a score of 80, although the absence of duplex scanning is an area for improvement. Performance receives a score of 75, reflecting good printing speed, despite reservations about resolution. The professional design, rated at 70, is suitable for offices, but its weight can be a drawback. The value for money is considered good with a score of 78, while the features, rated at 85, meet professional expectations well. Finally, technical support could be improved, with a score of 65, and the documentation, although detailed, could benefit from more clarity, scoring 75. Overall, the OKI B4545 is a high-performing all-in-one printer, but its limitations should be taken into account by potential users.
