The Dell 3130CN is a great color laser printer.
It is quickly becoming a popular choice for small and medium sized
businesses. The attraction to this printer model is the ability to
handle consistent, high volume printing making it a good fit as the
primary printer in an office workgroup. This durability combined with a
low purchase price ($500 range) has Dell 3130CN printers showing up in
offices everywhere.
The popularity of this printer has also brought about something that is not so popular with owners of this printer model - the high cost of replacing the toner cartridges.
The printer is packaged new with four standard yield toner cartridges
that are rated at 4000 pages for the Black cartridge and 3000 pages
each for the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridges. Given that the Dell
3130CN is typically used as the primary printer in an office and is
rated at 70K pages per month performance capacity, means that the toner
cartridges will require frequent replacement.
The cost to replace toner cartridges in the Dell 3130CN can be very costly. The standard capacity cartridges are priced in the $105 range for the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridges and in the $75 range for the Black. That is almost $400 to replace all of the colors.
High capacity toner cartridges are available for this printer and offer page yields of 9000 pages for each of the four colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. The high capacity cartridges will help reduce the cost of printing for this model, but the cartridges still carry a high price tag. The high capacity cartridges are priced in the $240 range for the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridges and in the $130 range for the Black. That is approximately $850 to replace all of the colors. At these rates, a company using this printer at the full 70k page monthly capacity could be spending approximately $6,500 per month on toner!
Fortunately for owners of Dell 3130CN printers, compatible toner cartridges can offer some relief. Numerous retailers, both online and traditional, have started to carry compatible (non-OEM branded) toner cartridges that will work in Dell 3130CN printers. The advantage to using the compatible cartridges is cost savings. These compatible cartridges are usually priced in the $110 range for each of the four colors. That is $440 to replace all of the colors, which is almost 50% savings when compared to the cost of the OEM branded cartridges.
The use of compatible cartridges will not void the warranty of the printer. Compatible cartridges will perform at the same level of standard as the OEM branded products when purchased from a reputable supplier.
Conclusion
The Dell 3130CN is a color laser printer that is gaining popularity among businesses due to its premium performance and low purchase price. Owners of this printer model should consider using compatible toner cartridges in an effort to reduce the costs of operating this printer. These cartridges can save owners thousands of dollars over the life of the printer.
