Dell 1250c Toner Cartridges

Dell 1250c Printer Review

Offering a single-function design and sharp laser printing, the Dell 1250c is a color laser printer that is intended for home use. It is best used in a home due to slower printer rates of around 12 pages per minute for text projects and 10 pages per minute for graphics. Despite having an estimated maximum monthly duty cycle of 30,000 sheets, the 1250c is designed for a lower monthly average of approximately 150-500 pages that will meet smaller print volumes. This does allow users some flexibility for heavier usage from time to time.

Experts review this machine to have both an easy set up and high-quality prints using black and color Dell 1250c printer toner. Points where the 1250c fall short, however, include its lack of connective options like ethernet for wired networking or Wi-Fi for wireless. Instead, users are limited to a single USB port. 64 MB of memory should be more than enough for a single user, however and compatibility with Mac and Windows operating systems provides extra flexibility.

A small paper capacity of only 150 sheets limits the 1250c to slow-paced environments, and could be a problem for users who routinely print large documents. The 1250c comes with an operational panel that provides two buttons, one for the paper feed and the other to cancel print jobs in progress. The device is capable of producing both graphics and text with a crisp resolution of 600x600 dpi.

Color by Dell printing technology is touted to provide better color reproduction and photos that print with more natural skin tones. It works with 4 Dell 1250c toner cartridges that can be replaced separately as they expire and ensure less is wasted. Color toners can yield up to 1,400 pages each and the black supply has a capacity of 2,000 sheets. The manufacturer provides starter Dell 1250c toner cartridges that can each print a maximum of 700 pages, so they will need to be replaced earlier.

Due to slow print speeds and few connection options, the 1250c is most suitable for individuals. For personal users that only need their laser printer to connect to one computer at a time, the Dell 1250c will be a solid choice, especially for those who want a color laser device at a low price.
