Dell 725 Ink Cartridges

The Dell 725 is a single-function printer that is designed for personal use. Speeds are behind the expectations of comparable units, with color and monochrome documents printing a maximum of only 14 pages per minute. As its slow speeds indicate, the 725 isn't the most exceptional inkjet printer, but it is inexpensive to operate with affordable supplies.

Looking at its minimal RAM of 2 MB, support for only Windows operating systems and connectivity that's limited to a standard USB port, the 725 is a simple entry-level device. Media handling features include a single input tray that can store up to 100 pages of plain paper, 20 pages of banner, or 50 pages of glossy photo paper.

The unit provides several tracking features, including the Dell 725 printer ink management system in the software that shows the amount of ink left and the approximate number of pages until expiration. This technology works in tandem with the job progress screen, which tracks the status of each project. The manufacturer recommends a maximum of 1,000 projects per month and a printer life of 12,000 pages, making it best fit for low volumes.

This compact device uses only a single Dell 725 printer ink cartridge that can print standard monochrome and color projects with resolution of 600x600 dpi. This single-supply system will make it easy and inexpensive to replace expired supplies, but could lead to more waste. Dell 725 ink cartridges don't last long either, printing only a little over 100 pages before needing a replacement. Users can find replacements online from the manufacturer or from third-party vendors.

At its best, the 725 is a compact desktop printer that can tackle the simple monochrome and color projects in home environments. The inkjet device's low cost will be hard to beat, but for more functionality and greater versatility, buyers should consider a more capable machine.
