Oxbow C250 entry colour for small offices

The Oxbow C250 is an entry-level A3 colour multifunction printer built for small to mid-sized offices that need professional colour output without the cost or footprint of a higher-volume device. Running at up to 25 ppm in both colour and mono with a recommended duty cycle of 16,000 pages per month, the unit is sized for offices that produce regular but not heavy colour workloads.
Equipped with a 10.1-inch tablet-like operation panel and an optional reversing or Dualscan auto-feeder taking 100 originals, the C250 supports scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, scan-to-USB, and a wide range of file formats including searchable PDF when the OCR option is fitted. Paper handling starts at 1150 sheets and scales up to 6650 sheets across optional cassettes and large-capacity trays. The platform supports SRA3 stocks up to 300 gsm including banner printing for Marketing Collateral. Cloud-ready and integrated into Oxbow managed service contracts.

Engineers Experience

Entry-level A3 colour MFP. From a production lens this is sensibly an office-class device — speed is light and the duty cycle reflects that. What's interesting is the chassis flexibility: it shares the 10.1-inch panel and the optional finishing range with much heavier kit, and SRA3 stocks up to 300 gsm with banner support give it surprising reach for occasional collateral. Best deployed as a steady-state office colour device for an environment that doesn't need to push heavy volumes. As an auxiliary in a production shop, it's the front-office colour machine, a sensible lightweight runner.

Case Studies

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dpi and ppm?

Dots Per Inch (DPI) measures Print Resolution, where higher values produce sharper, more detailed output. This matters more for graphics and marketing material than it does for everyday documents. Pages per minute (PPM) measures output speed under normal working conditions, and selecting outputs that are too slow causes bottlenecks. Oxbow’s team will assess your actual print volumes and output requirements to make sure the device we recommend hits the right benchmarks for your environment, not just on paper, but in practice.

A Printer outputs documents. An MFP Prints, Scans, Copies, and in many cases, Faxes all from one device. For most businesses, the MFP is the practical default: it consolidates hardware, reduces desk footprint, and integrates with cloud storage and document management platforms. Oxbow’s certified specialists can assess your environment and workflows and recommend the right device for your output demands, team size, and budget so you get the capability you need without paying for what you don’t.

A Managed Print Service is a contract arrangement where Oxbow takes full responsibility for your Printing Environment: Hardware, Consumables, Maintenance, and Support, all under one agreement. Instead of reactive repairs and toner orders, everything is monitored and managed proactively. The result is predictable monthly costs and a Printing Environment that runs without requiring internal resources to maintain it.

Yes. In most cases printing from a smartphone or tablet is straightforward, provided your network is configured correctly. When Oxbow installs your device, our technicians will ensure mobile printing is set up and working from day one. And if you run into any issues down the line, our support team is on hand to troubleshoot and get you back up and running quickly.

Your device will display a low toner warning on the control panel, typically showing a percentage remaining. Clients on an MPS contract will have toner automatically reordered. Toner can be easily reordered from our in-house consumables department.

Our dedicated support team will respond to any service queries within a maximum of 4 hours (during office hours), with a technician dispatched instantly should the query require on-site assistance. Just over 10% of queries can be solved remotely, while on-site support averages at 30 to 45 minutes for a complete fix.
