Dell Laser Delivers High Quality at a Low Cost

Dell continues to top the chart, with its new 3110cn, and new models from Oki and Ricoh also join the lineup.

Dell models have topped our two previous color laser printer charts. This month the company keeps the streak alive with the new $500 3110cn. The unit's print speed and output quality fall just shy of that produced by its predecessor, the discontinued 3100cn; however, its cost of operation is competitive, and it produced some of the best text and color output we've seen.

Oki Printing Solutions' $400 C3400n debuts as well. It has very good text-printing quality, and its price is low.

Also noteworthy is Konica Minolta's $300 magicolor 2500W, which missed the chart despite its appealing price--it's the lowest-priced color laser we've seen to date.
