B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L - seriously. I've gone through the entire set of sample cartridges that come with the printer, just plain addicted to seeing all the "identity" pieces I've used for my business for years turn into something so pro I love it. There is a perfect color lay without weird missing spots as happens on some lasers, and when they say that this is "superb color", they mean it. Highly intricate border patterns in black are crisp against a colored background, with white above and behind - and no bleed anywhere. from Dell.com Printing envelopes is a snap. And the price was unbeatable.

Print quality is much better than old 3100CN. from Dell.com it would be easier for me to read on the front Additional ThoughtsThe cons are not very important in comparison to the pros in my opinion. However, I haven't had it long enough to see if the print quality remains high over time (it deteriorated on my 3000CN), and to see how long the cartridges last and how easily they can be changed.

Date:?February 19, 2009 ProsThis printer prints fast and runs like a top! from Dell.com BTW, the toner saver mode is awesome, I leave it turned on and only change it in the printer dialog box on important jobs. ConsIt's a little larger than I imagined (though if I had read the description more carefully I would have known the dimensions.) Additional ThoughtsSome reviewers complain about the cost of the toner but I think it is very reasonable considering the quality of the printing.
