You have many choices when selecting a printer provider. Dell offers several advantages that simplify IT and service and help you control your costs.

Simplified Printing Your business technology should be sophisticated — not complicated. Dell's printers are designed to powerfully enable your business operations without bogging down your resources. From our streamlined printer interfaces to intuitive resource management tools, our award-winning portfolio of printers is focused on fulfilling your operational needs. We understand that usage isn't the only opportunity for simplification. The Dell Printer Advantage begins with buying: transparent pricing, free ink or toner shipping1 and an easy avenue to replenish ink/toner and paper. And with our eco-friendly recycling programs, getting rid of your old printer is a snap.

Simplified Service Dell offers world-class service and support on all of its printers. We offer a wide printer warranty plan — one of the few in the industry that covers fuser kits. 24-7 technical support and extended service options mean that you'll have less downtime and a greater return on your printer investment.

Cost-Effective Ownership Dell lasers help you reduce your Total Cost of Printing by up to 30% versus comparable HP models. This comes from a combination of low acquisition costs, trend-setting cost-per-page figures and a wide array of warranty coverage plans.

Starting at less than $300, Dell color lasers hit high efficiency benchmarks when printing in both color and monochrome.
