Photos look perfect--even on standard paper. Printer is sturdy and can handle thicker paper types without issue. Fairly cheap cost per page (when compared to other color lasers) Toner Cartriges last a looong time. (several thousand pages each) Takes a few minutes to unpack and set up but computer configuration was easy. Printer application allows for TONS of customizations. This is a very handy way to quickly touch-up the pages being printed. Two issues: Printer is very large and very heavy (50 lbs+), not for small offices! Also: The print spooler process on the computer can sometimes crash. You have to reboot the computer before anything can be printed again. This happens mostly after resuming from hibernation. It affects many printer brands.
This is a good office color laser printer. Print quality is average to good. More than adequate for most office work. It's reliable and doesn't require much attention. The only down side is the cost a full set of toner cartridges exceeds the cost of a new printer with the same toner set in it. That said its more economical to run than most other color lasers in this price range even assuming you just buy a new one when the cartridges are all empty. Our office just bought the 3rd one of these. I'm hoping that someone soon comes out with aftermarket toner or refill kits as a reasonable price.
The Dell 3110cn Color Laser: Great small office printer Pros: - The first page print is excellent. It only took a few seconds to send out the first page. - The ram is great. I sent a large 300mb file and it took less than 10 seconds to print. On my old Minolta it would take 15 minutes to print the same file. - It prints very excellent and clear graphics in both black and white and color. - Photographs print clear and crisp on regular paper, which is perfect of handouts, flyers, and quick presentation material, which I use often. I have not tried it on photo quality paper. - Setup was a snap, only took me a couple minutes to plug everything in and run the setup disk. Cons: - It was heavy, which I did not mind except for during the set up. It took 2 people to get it up on the desk, however, keep in mind, I am not the strongest or biggest person. - The toner cartridges were easy to install, but you have to follow the instructions. I pulled all the color tabs off before I installed the cartridge, which leaves part of the toner exposed. The last piece is supposed to be removed once it is in place. Otherwise, you end up with ink on your hands. It wasn't clearly marked about removing the final tab. Unknown: - I haven't tried the network card function yet. Overall, this is an excellent printer. It is perfect for the small business or home office. The printing times are fast and the quality is clear and crisp. It is especially great for printing graphs, charts, text, and graphics.Read full review
This purchase was made to replace my old printer which was the same make and model. I felt that I was taking a chance buying a ten year old printer that had never been used, but it started up right away and has been working perfectly. Even with paying quite a bit for packing and shipping, it was cheaper than buying a new one. I'm so pleased that I took a chance on this seller and this printer!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Great quality printer for the price. Print speed is more than adequate for the needs of my small business. Print quality for color documents is very nice and you cannot beat Dell's service. I am using this for all of my printed colateral, including business cards - so it is saving me a bundle in printing costs with professional looking results. The printer is very heavy (about 85 pounds), which made setting it up out of the box a bit cumbersome for one person. On the whole, I would definitely recommend the Dell 3100cn for anyone who needs a good quality color laser printer for home or a small business and does not want to spend a small fortune.
