Dell 1250 C Reviews (Printers)

The Dell 1250c color printer uses LED technology instead of the more-common laser to create equally crisp results. Priced at just $230 (as of September 29, 2010), it makes color output seem attainable even for a home office. Unfortunately, exorbitant...

Affordable purchase price ; Nice color quality

Severely overpriced toner ; Control-panel lights are difficult to interpret

This color LED printer's low purchase price is tempting, but its extremely high toner costs are off-putting.

Like the 1350cnw, the 1250c is an LED printer, which means it's similar to a laser, but uses LEDs instead of a laser to draw the image of each page when it prints. One advantage of LEDs is that they help keep the printer size down. In the case of the...

Fast. Reasonably high-quality output across the board. Above-par photo quality

USB connection only. Low paper capacity, at 150-sheets

The Dell 1250c Color LED Printer delivers faster speed and better output quality overall than anything else in its price class, but at a somewhat higher cost per page.

Dell has made its entry into the LED printer category with its 1000 series, and we have with us the 1250c, which uses Dell's Clear View LED print technology. This printer is designed to be compact for greater space efficiency without any compromise on...

The Dell 1250c, which costs around Rs. 17,000, comes in a compact package and provides decent energy savings. In terms of price per print, however, an inkjet MFD would be more economical.

Today, we'll be sharing our full review of the Dell 1250c, the "world's smallest color A4/Letter laser class printer" in its class. Beyond an ultra compact footprint, the Dell 1250c also offers print speeds up to 12 ppm in black and 10 ppm in color, a...

Ultra compact footprint ; Low initial cost for a color laser class ; Drum and fuser unit lasts "lifetime

Only offers USB connection ; No standalone capacity

Dell offers a 1-year limited hardware warranty and 1-year Advanced Exchange Service with 24/7 phone support

This color LED printer's low purchase price is tempting, but its extremely high toner costs are off-putting.

Printer vendors often charge lower-volume users less for the printer and more for the toner, but Dell has set a new record with this model. The printer ships with standard-size, 700-page supplies. The black toner costs $50 (7.1 cents per page), while...

The Dell 1250c Color LED Printer is a definitively personal printer, designed primarily for one person's use in any size office. The personal focus shows in its small size, relatively low paper capacity, and lack of wired or wireless network support....

Fast. Reasonably high-quality output across the board. Above-par photo quality

USB connection only. Low paper capacity, at 150-sheets

The Dell 1250c Color LED Printer delivers faster speed and better output quality overall than anything else in its price class, but at a somewhat higher cost per page.

The Dell 1250c is a colour LED printer with a low initial price of $319. It is compact compared to many colour laser printers, but it prints slowly an...

Good print quality for both colour and mono documents, low initial price

High ongoing toner costs, slow prints

The Dell 1250c has good print quality and a low initial price, but its toner is expensive and it prints slowly.

The Dell 1250c colour laser printer impresses with its excellent print quality, and its small size will make it popular among those who are short on space. It's slow, though, and its running costs are relatively high.

Excellent print quality ; Compact size ; Cheap

No display ; USB connectivity only ; Colour printing is expensive

Colour laser printers don't come much cheaper than Dell's 1250c, a basic entry-level device with just a USB port and a rudimentary 150-sheet paper tray. Strictly speaking it's not a laser printer, as LEDs are used to form the page image on the...

Great print quality makes the 1250c suited to personal use, but its print costs are quite high.
