At a glance
Editors' rating:
7.6 Very good
The good:
Good print quality; network ready; high maximum paper-input capacity; plenty of expansion options; low price.
The bad:
Plastic paper trays and doors feel lightweight; slightly less IT-oriented support than you get from HP.
The bottom line:
This low-cost, Ethernet-ready printer will grow along with your business, but Dell's IT-support offerings don't yet match the competition's.
