Dell 1355cn Toner Cartridges

Dell 1355cn Printer Review

The Dell 1355cn belongs to a series of color laser printers that are designed to meet needs of small to medium-sized businesses. The series also includes the 1355 and 1355cnw, models that are similar to the 1355cn in every way except for their connectivity options: the 1355cn is equipped with wired networking while the 1355cnw has both wired and wireless printing capabilities. It has print rates of 15 pages per minute for monochrome projects and 12 pages per minute for graphics.

While slower compared to other units designed for mid-volume office printing, the 1355cn is reviewed to have an impressively compact size and sharp print quality, with a resolution of 600x600 dpi using both color and black Dell 1355cn printer toner. In addition, the 1355cn is a 4-in-1 machine that can also copy, scan and fax documents. Its LCD control panel provides management features for each function including quick dial buttons for faxing, 5 navigation keys for menus, and dedicated buttons for scan and copy job controls.

For scanning, copying, and faxing the machine includes a 15-page automatic document feeder that can handle multi-page jobs. The unit also incorporates an intelligent self-scanning print head for improved image transfers. Additional technology includes "Color by Dell", which can help users produce photos and graphics with more clarity and more accurate colors.

In terms of cost per page, Dell 1355cn toner cartridges tend to be fairly expensive. The print system includes cyan, magenta and yellow toners that can yield 1,400 pages each, as well as black with a capacity of 2,000 pages. The starter Dell 1355cn toner cartridges included in the box have a reduced capacity of 700 pages for black and for color.

With a small size, wireless and networking print options and an all-in-one design, the 1355cn offers a variety of features that will appeal to buyers in small or medium-sized offices. However, slower speeds and expert reviews that cite it as an expensive laser printer should lead consumers to consider other more affordable devices.
