TONER CARTRIDGE - HIGH YIELD for DELL 2355DN LASER PRINTER

DELL 2355DN Review

Overview:

With its color touch screen controls and network compatibility, the DELL 2355DN is as easy to use for a novice as it is for a laser printer expert. The unit does not offer much in the way of expandability, but its base set of hardware covers all the bases and makes for a solid piece of machinery.

Pros:

As one of the first of its kind to feature a color touch screen LCD, the DELL 2355DN stands out against the rest. Although it has been two years since its release and this technology has become much more common on the multifunctional laser units, the screen on this device is intuitive, easy to use, and worth mentioning.

When printing basic text files, users will experience print speeds of up to 35 pages per minute. Printing material such as imagery or graphs will bring your print speeds down to something in the neighborhood of 10 pages per minute, which is still acceptable for this type of material.

Some copy features that are especially easy to take advantage of with the help of the touch screen are the 2 on one and 4 on one modes. Printing more than one piece of input material onto a single sheet of output is a great way to save paper when dealing with unimportant work. Unfortunately the unit is not high resolution enough to preserve perfect quality.

The full 50 page automatic document feeder that sits atop the DELL 2355DN is a welcome addition. With this degree of input storage, very large fax, copy, and scan projects can be ran through the device with very little user interaction. Regular paper stores consist of a standard 250 sheet storage tray this is accompanied by a fold out 50 sheet multipurpose slot. When using the fold out slot, paper weights of up to 90 can be used, as well as all types of special media like envelopes, transparencies, and card stock.

The only expansion option for the DELL 2355DN is an additional 250 sheet paper tray, so offices that require heavier paper storage capacities should look elsewhere. Users can, if they wish, add a handset to the device so it can be used as a phone, but none is included.

With a duty cycle of 80,000 pages per month, along with a 1 year warranty from Dell, the DELL 2355DN is guaranteed to make it through some very heavy workloads without incident. For this unit, Dell even provides on site support so a technician will be sent out to your home or office when something goes wrong, usually at no charge.

Cons:

Text and image print quality for the DELL 2355DN are disappointing for a laser printer. While anything basic such as a black and white document will be produce satisfactorily, users will miss the extra crisp look seen when using a 1200 x 1200 dot per inch unit. Images from web pages that are printed from the device, however exclusively in black and white, will be at least recognizable.
