Excellent product - SO CHEAP!


I bought this printer recently after having looked at a bunch of 'cheaper' colour lasers. This printer comes with full 9000-page toner cartridges installed, unlike the cheaper (in terms of initial outlay) printers which come with half- or quarter- full toner cartridges. If you do the maths, this printer ends up cheaper than most of the cheap colour lasers if you only ever print 5000 pages on it, and significantly cheaper if you print any more...

Whats even better is that its incredibly fast (black and white especially). It has duplex (double sided printing). The photo quality is excellent. The text quality is reasonably good and certainly loads better than any inkjet. Basically it blows any other colour (or mono for that matter) laser under a grand totally out of the water. And dell have it on special offer! What more can you ask? Buy it!
