Does anyone have cashback link to the dell website?

I'd estimate that I print around a third or a quarter of my total at around 5% coverage but the most of the rest would be around 10% in general which might be a better figure for them to start using as that is more like a full page of text.

Fax? 1997 called, they want their printer back!

isn't that what I said? :smiley:

I find the base on 5% per page ridiculous by the manufacturers to superboost their cartridge page counts. Who realistically only print 5% coverage on average regularly? So take it with a pinch of salt or as a loose guide.
Realistically you can't rely on them printing that many pages, only use the figures to compare cartridge sizes to get a price per page indication.

Yep, have had a new compatible spill 24K pages worth of toner in a Hp M602 - wrecked the fuser. My mistake, although ive since learned who to trust and not trust for compatibles. I stick with reputable sites who offer no quibble replacement if something goes wrong, even when you're 12K pages into a 24K toner. Usually it's better quality toner anyway that sticks on paper under high loads (unlike some cheaper alternatives). Also, if you're buying a printer to use with compatibles make sure there are a few alternative sites to buy from. Plenty of newer models with rubbish compatibles (I.e. For the Hp m476nw)

Yep, make sence. Thanks for the reply.

Does it included the toner or do we ned to buy one along with this?

Hence my comment about original or copy...

My experience is clones tend to fail earlier than genuine ones do, but yes you pay more for the original cart than a copy. I've also have clones fail a few times and spew toner over the printers (hateful job to clean toner power), whereas originals have always been fine, I assume lesser QA and quality. That said I would not be trying to fix a sub £150 printer with a toner leak, these were big colour lasers when they were multi thousands to buy and then someone saves a few quid buying cheap toner than then caused lots of issues......

Official HP high capacity are £132 for 6.9K of pages at 5% from HP or £99 from Cartragesave. Clones start at £30 or so.

Dell hi capacity are £136 from Dell but 10K of pages. Originals are £108 form Cartidgesave Clones start at £62.

Other cartridge sellers may be cheaper, or do better deals, I've just used cartridgesave before and had no issues.

The HP cartridges are cheaper but smaller capacity. assuming the standard 5% coverage and the carts do have the life you expect the dell works out slightly cheaper per page. Of course that depend on how cheap the carts are and if they are genuine or copie carts. If you get a discount all bets are off.

any good deals on similar A3 laser printers?

On a similar note, I got the Dell 1765 last year and have never looked back. (refills £20 for a full set)

Laser v Inkjet is a no brainer. Plenty of online printers if you want a photo for the wall, but for home use and kids homework etc these are a bargain

Aren't they Inkjet?

More expensive, but replacement cartridges are cheaper....
Also, slightly, only slightly, more aesthetic.

You guys need to check out https://www.epson.co.uk/gb/en/viewcon/corporatesite/cms/index/11409 price slightly higher but inks are cheap as chips...will work out a lot cheaper in the long run...

this is a mfp printer . you cant compare the 2.

This is even more expensive than the Brother 8250 CDN which is a proper colour laser printer:

If brother even do offer a cashback on Laser printers again this is going to be a steal !

What sort of hassle?

Heat

Dont need a printer as I have 2 networked printers already, but good price for a wireless and scanner in one.

I usually melt a hole in the cartridge and add toner and have been using this method for years.

Anyone know what the scanner is like...I need an auto feed document scanner to reduce the paper mountain in my home office....

Good deal but it sure ain't a thing of beauty.

A lot of printer for your money, though still not as good as the Brother HL-L8250CDN deal from ages past.

Shame it's mono and original carts are £100+

Can't really understand why the big price difference between this seller and Dell's own website + other printer specialist suppliers

Can't get a place for it ..also heavy so office bedt

Still worth it for the price

Great price. Its a bit of a whopper size wise, great if you have the space.
