When it comes to choosing a new printer, there are now enough choices that we might feel spoiled. It does not seem that long ago when most printers were classified as expensive products not for home use, but today the scenario is very different. Thanks to the introduction of laser printing technology, the associated expenses of owning and running a modern printer are greatly reduced. If you are after a new model for home use or a small business, it may be worthwhile checking out the Dell 1500 printer using Dell Laser 1500 replacement toners as this is often seen as a good 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.

You also need to understand that this Dell machine does not feature a display screen as is found on some other printers. Whether or not you have need for such a specification is down to your personal requirements. As there's no screen it can be sold at a cheaper cost.

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.

It is possible to print up to 15,000 pages each month with Dell compatible toners. This would be plenty for any home and most small business. There is a 1,200 x 600 dpi resolution that is high enough for most documents that would require printing. Bear in mind that for higher definition photographs of a large size you may want a more expensive printer.

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 option should be a good investment.
