Check if the printer you want is postscript. I have the new c9800dn which is excellent. I sent the exact same print PDF to a number of shops including Xerox for the Phasers and OKI printers. I asked them to print samples of my CMYK PDF on each of the printers I was interested in. The OKI c9800dn won hands down in colour matching and prints to 268gsm (thicker than the others).

I had a sample prints also of the OKI c8600 but it's colour was terrible and it's GDI printing, not postscript. The price of the c8600 is fantastic but it's not good for design work. It's best for office printing.

(The best way I can describe GDI printing is where the printer converts the complete file to an RGB bitmap image to print, no matter if the file was CMYK to begin with.)

PS If your current OKI is under warranty you should ring OKI for advice as regardless of the colour, you shouldn't have diagonal lines running through text, and I have found OKI good to talk through with getting my printer configured the best way possible.
