Dell 1815dn All in One Laser Printer Review

Printer No Comments »



The Dell 1815dn all in one laser printer provides a value packed printing solution for home or office. The outer case is sleek but the printer weighs nearly forty pounds making this a compact addition to your office that requires a solid base to sit on. We appreciated the handles molded in to the back of the unit that made positioning a bit easier.

The 1815dn has all the necessary cables including USB that permits a one wire quick hookup to your computer. A generous 250 sheet capacity paper try allows you to print more and refill less. Dell offers a higher capacity 500 sheet paper try at additional cost the is recommended for high print volume situations. The 1815dn performed well in our printing tests and delivered up to 24 sheets per minute depending on print quality settings. The LCD readout is not full function but provides enough information including toner replacement or paper refill alerts.

The 1815dn laser printer comes with a 3000 page toner cartridge and is replaceable at a cost of around seventy dollars. The fax capabilities of the 1815dn are respectable and delivered high quality replication. The scan function on the 1815dn provides laser sharp black and white scans but our color tests revealed slight distortion. We like how the 1815dn provides a large button keypad to control both fax and scan functions. The Dell 1815dn is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac system. We purchased our 1815dn mfp for $500 and feel like most other Dell products we’ve reviewed that it delivers excellent value and performance for the price.

Printer Review Comparisons

In today’s market, there are basically 4 types of popular printers.

o Inkjet

o Laser

o Thermal Transfer(Dye Sublimation)

o Dot Matrix (Yes, they’re still selling these!)

The factors that separate them are simple.

o Initial cost

o Operation cost

o Speed and Performance

o Durability

o Specialty jobs

If you are going to be printing strictly in Black & White (B&W), you’re going to be happiest with a laser printer. They offer faster print speed, crisper text, and lower cost of operation. A good one is usually more expensive than an Inkjet, but with the costs of ink cartridges, you’ll soon recoup that initial investment.

A typical B&W laser printer for home-office type use will run $300-$500 and will give you 20-24 pages per minute(ppm). For big office printing, expect over $1,000. Also expect 30+ppm. You will also achieve a resolution of 1200 x 1200. Higher resolution means crisper text. Laser printers are also usually rated on monthly volume. This is something to consider if you are purchasing a printer that will get a lot of usage. Don’t buy one rated for 10,000 pages a month if you know you’ll be printing 20,000. You’ll wear it out quick.

You can also get color laser printers, their cost has come down a lot from the $5,000 units 10 years ago. They’re usually fine for business type graphics, but I still like a nice photo inkjet for printing photos.

Inkjet’s and Thermal printers have much smaller cartridges and usually run out quicker than the toner in a laser. Because of that, the cost of printing each page can be much more. These printers can also be purchased with the ability to print onto CD/DVD, which is a nice feature. Duty cycle isn’t as high as a laser, but for home/office printing, most of them can keep up fine. Their B&W text is generally suitable for business, though some of the photo printers have slightly jagged text. Again, they’re less expensive to purchase, but can cost 4 times as much to operate as a laser. If you don’t do a lot of printing (
