Dell 5330dn Toner Cartridges

Dell 5330dn Printer Review

The Dell 5330 is a simple laser printer that can produce monochrome documents at a rapid pace to meet the needs of offices with high-volumes. This machine has a basic frame with a square shape and black exterior. It does not offer color printing or multiple features, but can generate professional-level documents at a rate of up to 50 pages per minute.

Also listed as the Dell 5330DN, which denotes duplexing and networking capabilities, this unit is clearly designed to increased productivity in the workplace. It not only supports multiple shared users, but it also will automatically print on both sides of the paper if the duplex mode is activated, potentially cutting down on paper usage and costs. Various paper types are supported, including recycled paper, envelopes, cards, labels and transparencies.

The ability for any office equipment to grow with a company is essential, and the 5330 does not disappoint. The standard paper capacity is 600 sheets but can be increased to 3,200 with the addition of a 500-sheet drawer and a 2,100-sheet feeder. The memory can be upgraded from 256 MB to 768 MB as needed, which increases the amount of data that can be transferred and held in the queue.

Standard Dell 5330 toner cartridges that yield 10,000 pages can be substituted with high-capacity replacement toners that yield 20,000 pages. The high yield of the Dell 5330 toner cartridges ultimately equates to a cost per page of about 1 cent. Print quality is somewhat average, with a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi created by the Dell 5330 toner. This will generate excellent text documents and good graphics, but may lose clarity for more complex prints.

Basic and efficient, the Dell 5330 is a solid laser printer that will be an affordable addition to an office with a fast pace and heavy volume. Savings on Dell 5330 printer toner can also reduce operating costs over time, making it a cost-effective solution.
