C821

An affordable, compact A4 and A3 colour printer for everyday use

C821 overview rightIf you’re looking for a printer that can take care of all of your routine office printing as well as being able to deliver stunning, graphics-rich colour A3 pages, you’ll find it in the C821.

What’s more, unlike most A3-capable printers, it takes up surprisingly little office space - significantly less than any comparable A3 printer.

A4 and beyond

Even if you’re not a graphics professional there will always be some documents, such as colourful posters, design proofs and large charts and diagrams, that work much better in A3. Booklets, too, can be created by printing on both sides of A3 and folding in half. And that’s why the C821 is so useful. There’s no need to buy a dedicated, bulky A3 printer and no need to pay for the services of a high street print shop. One printer does it all.

Fine quality

Whatever you’re printing, colour or black & white, A4, A3 or some other size, whether it’s single or double-sided, you can depend on OKI’s specially developed High Definition toner and image drum to deliver fine detail and vibrant colour and a stylish glossy finish.

Three-year warranty for extra peace of mind

What other printer manufacturer gives you a full three-year warranty at no extra cost? OKI pioneered the use of ultra-reliable digital LED print technology more than 20 years ago and has been refining it ever since. As a result, the affordable C821 is one of the most reliable printers you’ll ever buy.
