This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Good Color Laser - Poor Single Sheet Feed
We've had this printer for over a year. We are moderate home users, mostly home projects and school reports - maybe 500 pages a month or so. The usual issues with expensive toner cartridges -- we've gone through the starter set plus one additional set of cartridges. Generally haven't had any jamming problems and have had very good print quality. BUT we use a lot of special paper like label sheets, card sheets, colored paper, etc. - more expensive paper that you don't want to leave in the main paper tray -- I tend to use the single sheet feed slot a lot. And the single-sheet feed on the Dell 1320c is completely useless. It is incapable of getting the paper to feed properly, no matter how carefully you position the paper in the slot, no matter how hard you work to "help" the paper feed straight. I don't think I ever even tried envelopes. I really don't understand how, after all these years, correct paper feeding is still "rocket science" for printer manufacturers. Anyway,...

2. Best personal printer I have owned.
After years of having to replace cartridge after cartridge in my old deskjet, I decided to replace it with a printer that didn't have that problem, while at the same time producing high-quality prints at an effective rate of speed. That led me to the Dell 1320c. Am I ever glad that this is the printer I bought!

Let me tell you, it's hands down the best personal-use printer I have ever owned. The color print quality is as good as anything you'll find--at least as good as your neighborhood Kinko's, maybe better. The cartridge capacity is pretty good, but this isn't a printer designed for spitting out thousands of pages a day. However, for a personal or home office use, it's going to be hard to beat a printer that does all this, rarely breaks down, and almost never has any hardware glitches that plague some cheaper models.

It's only real drawback is its size: at more than a foot in each dimension, it doesn't do well ask a desk printer.

So, in summary,...

Need more appointment... ?
Sweet!
Purchased this one in Nov '10 after a lot of research and angst before finally hitting the "BUY" button. I must say that I am very impressed with this baby so far. It is what it is - a basic color laser print. Not a lot of fancy stuff to get in the way or broke. Just sits there all quiet and asleep until it is called into action. Whines a wee-bit when printing but still quieter than my ink-jets. Not the fastest kid on the block (still pretty decent though); but take one look at that fabulous output and then you'll be asking yourself "...how did I ever make do without this baby before now??"

It was a piece of cake to set up. There is not a display to walk you through the setup options, but there is really nothing to do if you are connecting directly to your PC/MAC. Comes with the Mac driver disk so once that is loaded you just need to ID it in your printer preferences (Google for mac setup how-to), point to the installed driver and BOOM, there it is. Setting it up on...
