Dell 2150CDN CLR LASER 24PPM PRNT 600X600DPI USB 256MBSF 40000 Review

I Purchased this Color Laser Printer after doing extensive online reviews and scant in-person reviews at office supply stores. I intend to use this for personal use, not business.

I decided on the Dell 2150cdn finally, because of price and toner cost. I compared with Brother and HP color lasers. Brother was originally my top choice because toner costs were acceptable. HP toner is ridiculously priced, although quality of prints was first class. I felt that HP prints had a bit more vibrant colors and felt 'glossy' compared to Brother. I was not satisfied with the output of Brother, so I finally came across the Dell 2150 which did not have many reviews.

I took a chance on the Dell and I am pleasantly surprised! Of course, you don't want to use this printer for photo-printing, but colors came out true for the most part. It is very difficult to calibrate my monitor to the printer, but reds, blues and greens printed very well on pictures and charts. Bright blues can look more purple and bright pinks can look more reddish. Overall I give the color quality an A+ for a color laser at this price range. For more accurate color printing, you would have to pay 2-3 times more!

Blacks and grayscale were perfect; nice and crisp.
Speed of printing for black is fast--close to the printer specs. Adding color did not delay the printing speed much - a few seconds.
However, I did not notice a difference in speed for High-Quality color prints vs Normal-Quality. I saw no quality difference either, which was a slight disappointment. There is some very slight banding when colors are mixed that I thought would be fixed with High-Quality print selection but such was not the case. --Bottom line is to get an Ink-Jet for those photos!

The main reason I selected the Dell was the cost of non-OEM toner replacement. They are much cheaper than usual toner and available. I will have to update my review after using non-OEM toner; but beware using this toner will void your warranty! During my research for color laser printers, I went backwards by finding cheap toner, then finding the printer that uses that toner!

If I were using Dell/OEM toner, the cost for this printer would not be a good deal. Cost per page would be on par with HP color lasers.
The 2150cdn has an AUTOMATIC duplexer which works great! It is a huge cube, sizewise, and it takes some considerable desk space. When sitting close, the noise is very loud and I would not want to be working next to this machine during long/frequent print jobs. The machine quiets down when it goes into energy saving mode/sleep mode; the time to enter this mode is adjustable. It uses around 5-10 watts when in deep sleep, and up to 1100 watts when printing.

The manual says not to use extension cords, but I am using a heavy-duty 14 gauge/12 amp 8-ft extension cord with no issues.

Wired-networking is a breeze to setup. I gave it a static IP address and all my PC's can do direct-IP printing with no problems. All I have to do is load the driver from the CD for each PC -- Dell's software is light and not obtrusive. This is much, much better than having HP bloatware on your computer!
Overall, I recommend this Dell 2150cdn. All these features for less than 3 benjamins!
