Dell 2145CN Multifunction Color Laser Printer

The Dell 2145cn color laser multifunction printer (MFP) offers some useful features for a midrange price ($749 at this writing), and the quality of its installation and documentation show how much Dell cares about the user experience. The machine's...

Excellent documentation; easy setup ; Good software bundle

Slow; confusing control-panel buttons ; Stiff paper guides; ruddy color quality

The 2145cn's toner costs are average compared with those of other color laser MFPs. High-capacity black cartridges have 5500-page yields and cost $150 for black (2.7 cents per page); high-capacity color replacements each last 5000 pages and cost $170...

Excellent documentation; easy setup ; Good software bundle

Slow; confusing control-panel buttons ; Stiff paper guides; ruddy color quality

Dell 2145cn review

The Dell 2145cn's design makes it difficult to use, however, and it performed very slowly.

Dell's 2145cn Multifunction Colour Laser Printer is designed for a busy workgroup, but there are several choices available that are faster and easier to operate; and some may have a lower price tag.

Dell 2145cn colour laser

A few minor glitches take the edge off what is basically a very versatile printing and copying tool.

This is a very versatile multifunction printer, which can produce all kinds of simplex and duplex copies, as well as faxes and scans. Although we had some problem printing from USB, this may relate to particular brands of drive. You could make...

Dell 2145cn MFP printer review

This duplex capable Dell multi-function printer seems to have all the bases covered.

This is a rugged, well-conceived colour laser multifunction, which is easy to maintain and offers good economy. Its ability to scan, as well as print, in duplex mode makes it relatively eco-friendly and although colour print quality is nothing special,...

Consumer review (printware.co.uk)

Good but not easy to set up.

Much bigger than I was expecting! It's a serious chunk of machinery. Had a problem with the colour printing and Dell tech support were excellent; they sent new toner next day which fixed the problem. Setting it up on the network was not easy and...
