Dell C3760dn Toner Cartridges

Dell C3760dn Printer Review

Mid-sized offices that are looking for a machine that can print in black-and-white or color should take a look at the Dell C3760dn. Though this unit lacks the versatility of a multifunction device, it does provide the speed required in a fast-paced work environment. Additionally, the C3760dn offers some expandable features so it can grow with increasing business. Most major operating systems are compatible and users have the option of connecting via USB port, or networking through the ethernet interface. Wireless support is available as an optional upgrade, and users can also print from mobile devices.

The related base model is sometimes referred to simply as the C3760, or C3760n for its networking support, but it does not include an automatic duplex function. With the units that do have a duplexer, up to 23 pages can be printed double-sided per minute. In simplex mode, printing just on one side of the paper, as many as 36 pages per minute can be produced in black-and-white or color.

The control panel consists of a numeric keypad and a status LCD that can be used for monitoring the levels of Dell C3760dn toner and navigating options, but is not equipped for previewing or editing images. There is a one-touch Power Saver button that makes it easy for users to reduce energy consumption when the machine is not in use. Password protection security features can also be implemented via the control panel.

One of the best characteristics of this color laser printer is the minimal operation expense resulting from its low cost per printed page. Though the Dell C3760dn toner cartridges that are provided upon purchase can yield only about 3,000 pages, high-capacity and extra high-capacity toners are both available. The high-capacity printer toner yields 5,000 pages for color and 7,000 pages for black, while the extra high-capacity Dell C3760dn toner cartridges yield up to 9,000 pages of color and 11,000 pages of black.

This unit has a 533 MHz processor and an 80,000-page monthly duty cycle, though the recommended monthly print volume is about 2,400 pages. The memory is 256 MB but can be expanded to up to 768 MB. The paper capacity is also expandable from 700 sheets to 1,250 sheets with the addition of an optional 550-sheet tray.

Overall, this laser printer is a solid choice for growing offices with black-and-white and color printing needs. Though the quality of the graphics tends to be a bit sharper than the text, both will be sufficient for a professional environment. High-yield Dell C3760dn toner will keep operational costs within a limited budget, and the versatile connection options make it easy to print from just about anywhere, even from mobile devices.
