For around $85, you can get the Dell Laser 1100 printer. The device can print around 14 pages per minute, which is comparable to other printers in its class. Printing quality with the Dell Laser 1100 toner is good enough for most projects. For some, 14 pages per minute might be too slow, since most laser printer can do around 17-25.

The colors are the patented gray and white of Dell. It weight around 12 pounds, which is the same with other printers. The paper tray is a slight drawback because it always remains open. This is a design makes is very vulnerable to dust.

The device’s control panel is very user-friendly. The two LED’s will tell you if it is jammed or busy. There is button on the panel you can press to feed the paper or to cancel a job. The tray on top can also hold around 50 sheets.

In the event the printer is jammed, you can just remove the toner cartridge under the device’s main door. The design made it very easy to remove and to install back in. Unfortunately, the package does not include the USB cable, which is around $30.

The package comes with step-by-step instructions that makes it very easy to connect and install. It even has drivers that automatically load once the device is connected. Sad to say, this Dell printer only supports Windows. There is no available software for Mac and Linux operating systems.

The device is able to print at 600 x 600 dpi resolution. It is a feature present in other printers in the same price range. It boasts a 150 MHz processor, which is better than other laser printers, however, the 2 MB RAM is limiting the device for text and grayscale graphics only.

A small 1,000-page yield cartridge is included in the package. This starter kit is a bit less as compared to other laser printers. You can replace it with a 2,000-page yield toner cartridge. If you think about it, it is around 3.3 cents a page. That is a bit expensive compared to other printers as most laser printers can print a page cheaper than this.

The device can accept various paper sizes from ISO B5 to A4. The printer can print around 5,000 pages monthly. It also prints various sizes of envelopes. I think that is enough for most students and writers. If you need more that, consider spending more on another printer.

Price and speed are what make the Dell 1100 printer a good product. There’s even a trade in offer you can take advantage of. All you need to do is exchange your old Dell printer for this device. The 90-day warranty, the small toner cartridge, and the memory are just some of the things holding the product down. This is a good printer, especially if you already own an inkjet printer.

The Dell Laser 1100 Cartridges is a nice partner for this printer. It offers all the quality one has come to expect from Dell laser toner, with the exceptional value that can be found from online retailers offering replacement toner.
