Dell Toner

If you are in the Market for a printer you may have seen top dell laser printers, and others from large companies and thought already, or if you are like me, you began with walking down the aisle at an office supply store without knowing what exactly you want and will use it for. To take away some of the headache we have some popular printers from Dell, a company that you can trust to buy from and also in case you need to do any repairs, because printer maintenance must be handled by professionals. Best of all it’s the cheapest in the category too!

One printer that comes very highly recommended from PC World, a respected source for all computer related information, tells us the Dell Laser Printer 3000cn is top quality in all of the categories tested which go as far as to include weight of text on the page and how cleanly the printers handles the paper.

Documents are easy, the real measure of a printer is how well it can print photos in both color and black and white, because often times the values blend together or become static when trying to replicate a picture with a full range of grey from black to white. This happens most often with clothing in photographs.

The toner is not expensive either, as the black cartridge costs forty five dollars for about 4000 pages of black and white text while the color cartridges which print 2000 pages each run about sixty five dollars each. This is the same cost as Dells “Monochrome” printer which is the top of the line, and far more expensive model.

If you are not tech savvy, installation is a breeze and can be done with an Ethernet or USB cable connecting your PC, and the menus and controls make it look sleek and friendly. The only major drawback here is that it does not support use for Mac computers directly, but of course this does not mean that you cannot use it to print documents from a Mac, but just that you cannot hook the printer into the computer.

If you find memory becomes a problem, the 64mb standard can be upgraded to the 576MB of memory easily. The only major complaint is the paper instructions and CD-Rom provided to help with setup was a little difficult to read and use, although the printer itself is easy overall. Privacy settings and other bells and whistles can be gotten, but for a price tag of less than $500 PC World and myself are both sold on Dell Printers, particularly the 3000cn for how cost effective it is while still being effective and small, so it can work well in any office environment where space might be a concern too.
