I've acquired an OKI C5100 and wondered what it's compatibility with the magic touch system is like.
It's not listed on their compatibility page and I've emailed them (twice) without response.

Has anyone had any success with this printer?

Thanks in advance for your advice

Themagictouch got back to me. Unfortunately they don't have any compatibility data for this printer. However, they very kindly offered to send me some samples so I can be a guinea pig. So because I acquired the laser printer buckshee, I've nothing to loose.
I'll post my findings when I've received the samples and had a play :)

It will most likely work just fine. All Oki's use the same tonor and TMT's are just re-badged Oki printers :)

I can report back that this printer works very well.
Using the samples of TTC 3.1 I received from Magictouch, I found it best to set the media to 'ultra-heavy' and use the multipurpose tray and exit face up and I have to say that the results are pretty decent.

Well chuffed am I, as the printer was to be consigned to a skip and it didn't cost me a penny.
