The Dell Color Laser 3100cn printer is one of the best color printers on the market today. Although it has the power to catch a shopper's eye merely by its sleek black exterior, it will wow just the same by its performance. Quick speed, perfect quality from the Dell Color Laser 3100cn toner, and an assortment of other features make this printer a dream to own.

The number one duty for all color printers is to produce quality images. Although many still fail at this, the 3100cn excels. The color prints come out with extreme clarity and second best to only the photo itself. When perfect photo quality is a must, and for many companies it is, then there is no reason to look any further than this machine.

This printer may raise the bar when it comes to print quality, but that does not means it makes any cuts in the printing speed. The pages fly out at a rate that would be impressive with a low-image quality machine. This is doubly true for the black and white text documents, which pile up in the printer basin even faster.

Returning home or to the office with a brand new printer only to find out that it is not compatible with the current operating system in place is beyond frustrating. Of course, this printer has that area covered. It is built to handle Mac, Windows and Linux operation systems with no problems.

The fallback on machines that are this powerful and this technologically advanced is that they require a degree in rocket science to figure out. Luckily this is not the case with the 3100cn. The display is bright and easy to read, while the controls are clearly labeled and easy to understand. Even the power button is thoughtfully placed on the side, as opposed to tucked away in some hidden compartment.

Printer trays are another thing that are often not considered when looking at printers, but this Dell model goes above and beyond in this department. The numerous trays are large and wide, decreasing the chances of a paper jam. Not only that, but they can be adjusted to fit envelopes, card stock, and dozens of other kinds of specialty paper.

The sad truth about most printers is that they become hopelessly out-of-date so soon after being purchased. This can be really frustrating for the consumer. This machine has taken that into account by allowing all sorts of expandability options. If there are any improvements to be made, the user can simply add them on. This is not only good for the life of the printer, but it is also good for the environment.

There really isn't a single area where the Dell Color Laser 3100cn printer has fallen short. The quality photo color prints are top of the line and at a speed that's hard to match. The trays are perfectly built to prevent paper jams, while the controls are concise and easy to follow. With all these redeeming qualities, there is still room for enhancement with an array of expandable features. This machine is a gem in the world of printers.
