Get to know the ABCs of Printing

The Basics: Your Printer, Your Life

Previous < | 12 | 3 | 4 | 5 | > Next
Everywhere computers go, printers follow. Today, home users have more technology tools and toys than ever — and that means we have more to print.
Think about it. We:

  • Print airline tickets, movie vouchers or receipts for goods purchased online.
  • Download tax forms or other important documents to print and sign.
  • Map out trips online and print directions to get us there.
  • Take scads of digital photos and print them for family and friends.
  • Use our computers from the comfort of the couch — and we want to print from there, as well.
Modern printers have kept pace with the digital revolution in our homes. Today's inkjets can help you meet all your printing needs at affordable prices.

As with any technology, things change! Consider these three trends when selecting your next printer — and make sure you’re getting the best printer possible.

SimplicitySimplicity
The entire experience of buying, using and maintaining a printer should be as simple as possible, and it begins with buying. Look for transparent pricing, free shipping offers and an easy avenue to replenish ink and paper. Dell Home and Home Office can do all of this, helping to ensure simplicity from the start. And when you buy a printer and PC together direct from Dell, printer drivers are pre-loaded on your PC.

Look for clear functionality and buttons that make sense. All printer models should be tested by regular people to ensure ease of use. When ink needs replacing, it is valuable to have a printer that notifies you and provides clear information as to where to purchase ink supplies. Dell has made simplicity a cornerstone of its printer business. Dell printers include ink notification with clear web links to purchase ink supplies. We feel that consumers should settle for no less.


Wireless PrintingWireless Printing
Let printers be free! Free from bulky cables and awkward rolling carts. Wired printers take up space and feed the notion that every computer in the house needs its own printer. Wireless printers1 are space-efficient and empower wireless-enabled notebook users.

Dell has a line of printers with internal wireless modems*. And we sell adaptors that allow most Dell printers to be used wirelessly*.


Environmental ConsciousnessEnvironmental Consciousness
From the single home user to the largest corporation, we can all make environmentally conscious choices. At Dell, we've done our part to be one of the greenest electronics companies in the world*.

Dell offers many printers with options that can help improve the environment:

  1. High-yield ink and toner cartridges - Reduces the frequency of cartridge replacement.
  2. Recycling programs - Dell provides prepaid postage bags with all shipments of ink and toner, as well as use-and-return programs for monochrome laser printers.
  3. Duplexing - Printing on both sides of a page saves paper. Duplexing is standard or optional on most Dell all-in-one printers.
  4. Energy efficiency - The Dell 946 and 948 All-In-One printers are energy star compliant.
