If you are after a new printer today, you will feel spoiled with all the choices available. It was not so long ago when a printer was seen as being an expensive item reserved for office use. Today the situation is completely different. Thanks to the advent of cheap laser printing technology, the cost associated with buying and maintaining a printer has been greatly reduced. Whether you need a printer for a small office or for home use, it is worthwhile checking out the Dell 1500 printer using Dell Laser 1500 replacement toners as this is a popular choice.

Costing less then three hundred dollars, this Dell model is a printer often seen as being efficient, yet also very compact. It can produce up to fourteen pages of high quality prints every minute, a definite positive in comparison to other options in the same price range. Considering its rapid speed, the overall standard of the finished work is more than adequate for most of us.

It is worth noting that if you are used to operating a more expensive top of the line laser printer you may occasionally feel that the Dell's standard is low. In a large photograph you may see some smudging and distortion of lines. This is to be expected on any printer that sells for under three hundred bucks. Most of the time, the difference in quality would not be apparent.

Another issue worth thinking about is that this Dell model does not come with a display screen as others do. Whether you think this is necessary will depend upon your needs. As there is no screen, it allows the price to be less than similar size options.

This model uses six lights to highlight any problems when they arise. You will need to learn and understand exactly what they mean, for example a paper jam or low ink. If you want to cancel a print, there is a button you can press on the edge of the control panel.

With the Dell 1500 printer toner cartridge you can produce as many as 15,000 pages every single month. This is more than enough for most peoples' demands. The resolution is 1,200 x 600 dpi. This is adequate for all documents, barring large and detailed photographs.

Another factor you may want to think over is the size of the input tray on this printer. It can hold as many as four hundred pages at once. This would be able to feed the machine for approximately half an hour. There's also an auxiliary feeder, although the small size renders it quite pointless as it can only handle one envelope at a time.

A few other points should be mentioned before you make a decision on the Dell 1500. It is easy to alter the settings to change the contrast and darkness of the prints. The memory can be expanded up to 144 MB for a better performance. Overall, if you are after a printer for every day simple use, then this Dell Laser 1500 compatible toner should be a good investment.
