Oki C711

Have owned 4 C711's - each new machine less reliable than the previous – I am now in to my fourth OKI C711 and while I have always found the print quality to be excellent, This will be my last OKI printer. The first OKI C711 that I owned was a work horse - excellent image quality and it just kept working - with a reliability unmatched by any printer on the market. However, each successive C711 that I have owned since that first one has been progressively worse in terms of the quantity of printing that can be done before requiring replacement parts Ie: image drums, fuser cartridges etc.- each new printer requiring replacement parts sooner than its predecessor. I am now having to purchase image drums for Magenta, Cyan and Yellow on a machine that is less than two years old and has printed a fraction of the number of pages that the older models printed before replacement parts were required.; The OKI C711 should no longer be considered a reliable machine.
