Dell 1100 Printer - Some Things Are Black And White
Saturday, February 28th, 2009The Dell 1100 Printer is one of the most popular laser monochrome printers available in the market today. The main reason is, of course, its very affordable price, including the Dell 1100 toner.
The Dell 1100 printer scores pretty high in text printing. Clear and crisp texts are what you should expect. Graphics are quite good as well, especially in lower scale, since there could be some dithering in larger ones.
All monochrome printers though tend to show some small breaks in lines and that is something that the Dell 1100 cannot skip either; however the drawback is minor, as the break up appears in very thin lines. The output is more than satisfying when for personal use.
Setup is quite easy as well; especially if you use the USB cable you will soon figure out that you can install it within a couple of minutes. You will need to install one of the dell 1100 toner cartridges and then run the automatic, typical installation. Once it’s done, in a couple of minutes, you are ready to print your test page. The overall output quality is among the best you can find in printers costing less than 200$.
The printer doesn’t seem to have any problem with subtle nuances and gradations, and you cannot see annoying effects such as stepping in graphics. These kinds of printers are designed to produce readable backgrounds and crisp texts and this is definitely what you will get from the 1100 printer. Crisp edges and clear texts that reach perfection.
The Dell 1100 has a 600×600 dpi resolution and runs on 150MHz processor which definitely bests the processor of other Dell printers of the same league. Its internal memory is just 2MB, which means that you cannot print something bigger than regular texts or small graphics; however this is more or less the demands of the average home user. The Dell 1100 Printer promises to produce quality texts and images for personal use, and that is what it does.
The starting Dell 1100 toner cartridge is adequate for a few prints, but there are standard toners available in the market that can last for more than 1500 pages, in quite reasonable prices.
