HP LaserJet M125 and M127 Compact MFP Printers Geared with Mobility

From the last quarter of 2013, HP rolls out new printers and MFP that support mobile printing. Last year was quite definite that wireless printers were dominating the industry, with back to back releases of new models with such feature. These machines that facilitate mobility in terms of cloud-based and wireless technology were developed to provide more efficient and effective printing system.

Printer models such as the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125 and M127 series are geared to support HP’s latest 1200W Mobile Print Accessory and HP JetDirect 2800W. You might have heard of NFC technology (Near Field Technology) which probably you’re pretty much aware since Samsung made a buzz about it by equipping their latest machines with such feature.

Actually, just recently in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Samsung Electronics unveiled their first NFC-enabled printer for their Malaysian consumers. The launch targets SOHO entrepreneurs (small office home office) environments as well as small-medium enterprises.

Back to HP, the M125 and M127 monochrome laser printer series were marketed as HP’s smallest sized multifunction printers according to the manufacturer. Jamming in all four functions such as print, scan, copy and fax in a single unit with such compact built, although the M127 is the only one that supports faxing features. They say it also features a 3-inch color touch-screen display but upon checking some pictures over the net, it wasn’t actually what we have expected. But nonetheless it is note-worthy to mention.

Manufacturer’s product details and description for M125 and M127 printers:

• Features Wireless Direct, HP ePrint and AirPrint 

• Cloud-based scanning from and to, directly from mobile devices 

• A printer that only measures 1.65-feet, it wouldn’t take that much space. 

• Come built-in with Ethernet and wireless (WiFi) interfaces. 

• Panel that features 3-inch color touchscreen display 

• Features Auto On/Off and Eco Smart Technology. 

If you’re interested about these printers, pricing ranges between $149 and $259, not a bad investment considering their set of features and capabilities. The MFP M125 and M127 are rated with an engine speed of 21 pages per minute and can hold limited media up to a maximum of 150 sheets. Well low capacity is quite considerable for compact size units.

You should take note that only the M127 series is capable of faxing, while the M125 can work as a printer, copier and scanner. For supplies and accessories, you may check HP’s product page and see the appropriate replacements for these two printers such as HP CF283A toner cartridge (standard-yield) or the HP CF283X toner (high-yield).

What To Know About The Canon Easy Scroll Wheel?

A Little History

One of the great innovations added in the features of a printer which totally standout is the touch screen LCD. Before this piece of technology popped out, old versions of printing machines are only equipped with mono-backlit screens, while other doesn’t have any totally. Users back then are satisfied with it, but then the emergence of units with color LCD came out in the market and dominated the industry. Innovators weren’t still happy that they continued working on how to improve this component. Then, finally they introduced an LCD which is not only wide, colored and vibrant, but is also intuitive to touch commands.

Canon Easy-Scroll-Wheel

Now there’s another feature that many of us are not totally aware of its existence. Probably because we don’t have a unit that is equipped with such, or more likely we just don’t care. But this is something that we couldn’t just ignore especially for us people working in this industry.

What are we talking about here? Actually, it was not introduced just this year that in fact it’s been existing for a couple of years now so it’s not something new to be considered. The introduction of this small interface came along on the released of third generation PIXMA printer series which include the MP600. But it can also be found on some recent imageCLASS models such as the MG8450C - a color laser printer that uses Canon 117 cartridges. This high-end technology is known as the Easy-Scroll-Wheel controller which became part of the main control panel of a printer’s user interface.

Intuitive Access

The Easy-Scroll-Wheel is basically coupled with the touch-screen LCD. It works by simply rotating the wheel to your desired feature base on what’s available on the panel’s screen. The center key serves as the select button, while the surrounding black part works like the iPod’s click-wheel. Users can select and execute a function by browsing their fingers through the wheel, while keeping their eyes on the LCD. Sounds familiar? Yeah, because it is indeed similar to the technology used in iPod music players.

It’s a new style of how users can use the control panel in a much enjoyable way. It’s pretty easy to use, no complicated stuffs to think of at all, you just have to run your fingers on it like you’re using a mouse pointer.

Manufacturer’s Description

The Easy-Scroll-Wheel is a groundbreaking user interface developed by Canon to make the various functions of AIO printers easy and fun for anyone to use. Users can freely control the unit by gliding a finger around the wheel. The screen is linked to the wheel such that when it is spun, the menus revolve in the same way you move your fingers.

Canon’s Select Color Laser Printers with Superior Color Imaging Technology

The term superior had been associated to so many things and that includes Canon’s Color Imaging technology. Could we say it is indeed the most outstanding in the imaging industry? Well how can we say so, we haven’t tried enough of units to determine and prove that matter. However, we can at least feature some of the color laser printers that Canon claimed to have the said innovation.

If you want to find out how many Canon printers have this technology, you can use the search box at the top right part of their site and use the keyword “Color Imaging Technology”. It isn’t the normal way, actually we’re not even aware of how it should be done, but that’s how we do it. You’ll find 1 to 15 pages of 806 results, but not all of those are guaranteed to have the said feature, probably 2-3% at the least.

To narrow it down, we chose a few printers which you can even count with your two hands or probably just one, that feature the SCI technology. We’ll be using that abbreviated term only for this post, so don’t misinterpret it or accuse us of anything. Again, to simply put it, we just want to shorten the term mainly for this post. 

Now these are the chosen printer models from Canon’s wide range of all-in-one and non-AIO machines that feature the SCI technology.

From the imageCLASS/i-SENSYS:

MF8080CW, MF8030CN, MF8050CN – These three come from the same line and mainly use Canon 116 laser toner cartridges.

MF8350CDN and MF8380CDW – These two are like brothers and both use Canon 118 laser toner cartridges.

MF9220CDN and MF9280CDN – Printers from this line particularly those with model number that starts with MF92 are using CRG 111 color toner cartridges.

Why do we include their supported supplies? That is simply to point out that those are laser type printers. The PIXMA series actually uses inks instead of toners, and the counterpart of Canon’s Superior Color Imaging in inkjets is referred to as FINE Cartridge System. We’ll probably talk about it as well soon so just wait for our future updates.

As described by Canon, Superior Color Imaging Technology promises stunning print results that look like the original. Vibrant and tone-on-tone clarity both sound perfect for a laser printer that is capable of producing printouts having the exact shade, hue and density of colors. If this traits are what you are looking for, those models we provided above are your best bet.

Supplies Required for Brother HL-3070CW Printer: Brother DR-210CL Toner and Drum Cartridges

Last 2009 Brother introduced one of their compact work-group laser printer which is the HL-3070CW. It wasn’t poised to replace any previous model. What it markets is its literally small size and built yet with features suitable for business use.

Albeit it looks stout the unit is actually heavy at 41.9 pounds, but it’s not a hindrance to place it on a shared desk space. The HL-3070CW’s relatively light weight makes a good fit for small-to-micro offices that would like to conserve spaces in order to make room for other equipment. It’s also considerable to use as a personal printer and will make a good companion with your desktop computer.

We’ll have more of its specs later, because what we intend to provide right now is all about its needed consumables or supplies. The first thing you need to take note is the model of its cartridges and imaging drum unit. Brother HL-3070CW uses four color Brother DR-210CL toner and drum cartridges. Each item can yield a maximum of 15,000 pages with an approximate cost-per-page of .80 cents for every print.

According to some users, the shelf life of a toner cartridge may last from 24 to more than 36 months. But actually, to our own experience, we’ve stocked a few toners for our Brother printers since we want to keep some spare while the price is really low. Money-wise it’s a good strategy. Then after a year or so, some of the cartridges are still working while others had some defects which are toner-related, but not faulty. We still manage to use them eventually after moving the cartridges to a different stock room where the temperature is much compatible for the supplies.

Furthermore, although this post mainly talks about Brother supplies and printers. We just like to add a short detail with relates to laser toner cartridges. Early before one of a printer manufacturer in the print industry discover that such consumables won’t actually expire. They gave their products an estimated shelf life of about 2.5 years, given that the item is not yet open and still intact in its packaging.

So now that we’ve discussed a lot about its required consumables, let’s go back to the printer’s specs. Maybe you get interested on getting your own personal printer and might consider this model.

The HL-3070CW aside from its really compact and useful features also offers a printing speed of 17 pages per minute for both monochrome and color. It’s not that fast to be considered but not bad at all for a personal printer or for a small office. The unit has a 250-sheet main input tray with a 1-sheet manual feeder. If you’re looking for a printer with duplexing feature, well this is not an option for you.

What Exactly Is The Printer's Duplex Printing Feature?

Duplex printing or also referred to as double-sided printing is a printer feature that allows the unit to automatically print on both sides of a printed material. Thus, such devices that doesn't feature this capability can only support single-sided printing which is the most typical.

Larger offices, businesses and all other busy environments mostly require this certain feature. Single-function printers, either inkjet or laser jet, uses the abbreviated term ADF which stands for "Automatic Document Feeder". This feeder works with the duplexer to be able to print images, documents or text on a page that is supposed to be bound. A high-end multifunction printer on the other hand, may come with two print engines, thus allowing the unit to print on both sides of a sheet even just on a single pass.

Books for example are bounded, which means that the pages you’re reading are produced through duplex printing. But before the paper sheets pass through the feeder, users have to set the from the machine’s print command whether the file should be printed in short-edge or long-edge binding mode. To further explain, Long-Edge binding is basically the portrait mode when duplexing from which the printed pages could be turned side-to-side. An example of which are books, magazines, and all other reading materials that can be turned side-to-side. While short-edge binding on the other hand, is the notepad or sketchpad like materials from which the pages are flipped vertically.

See the images below to know the difference between Long-Edge and Short-Edge Binding:

Long Edge Binding Duplex Printing

Short Edge Binding Duplex Printing

Do you know that even if your printer doesn't have such feature, duplexing can still be done with the unit though it may require human intervention? Yes, a single-sided printer like for example the Brother HL-3040 model can still be used to create double-sided printouts. The trick here is that the user will do the manual process of flipping the printed material from the output tray and reload it back to the input tray. It’s a bit tricky since you have to determine which side of the page the printer prints on to avoid printing on the same side of the page. It is recommended to make a trial and error first before working with the real project.

One advantage of using duplex printing is that it reduces the amount resources being used and or wasted. Albeit it also has the higher chance of wasting resources if ever you unwittingly print on the wrong side. Let’s say, unless you’re particularly sure of what you are doing or will be doing, don’t try use the duplexer. It’s either you save the Brother toner cartridges installed from your printer or it will end up the other way around. Along with the wasted paper materials, the energy consumed during the printing process, as well as time and effort will all went to nothing.

Two New Monochrome Laser Printers From Dell Targetting SOHO Businesses

Today's post will give you a brief introduction to Dell's most recent laser printers which were released first week of this month, June 04,2013 to be exact. Both printers are now available in the market, sporting decent specs and set of functionality suitable for SOHO market. The two models offer monochrome laser printing technology which requires a single black laser toner cartridge equipped with a fuser that works for a lifetime. One of their notable feature is the support for Dell's Printer Easy WiFi Installer.

Dell B1165nfw Mono MFP

As a multifunction printer the B1165nfw supports basic functionality such as printing, scanning, copying and fax. It's a good thing they included fax capability with this one, considering that most mono laser printers in its range lacks the said feature. Its built is simply elegant, the chassis has nice curves and edges in matte finish black coating. There's also this adjustable calculator-like control panel installed from its far right edge.

Brother MFC-9330CDW Color LED Multifunction Laser Printer

A laser MFP from a known brand that manufactures excellent multifunction printers, the Brother MFC-9330CDW, though lacks a duplexing ADF, it can certainly provide enough features to compensate for it. Basically, it only allows users to scan, copy, and fax in simplex (one-sided) functionality. One of its key-features is the use of LED lights in place of lasers, hence it's essentially an LED laser MFC printer.

It has a simple built, or let's say a bit conservative look, with its front panel featuring a 3.7-inch color touchscreen LCD supplemented with touch-sensitive keypad. Impressively, the 9330CDW's backlit keypad only lights up when any particular function requiring the use of it is in active state. There are additional buttons from the machine's front panel like On/Off and Start/Stop button.

The 9330CDW somehow supports an automatic duplexer, however it's limited for double-sided printing purposes alone. In terms of print speed, it has a comparable rate that is more likely matched with MFC-9340CDW printer which is also included in Brother's MFC-series this year. It offers a fix print speed quoted at 23 ppm (pages-per-minute) in both mono and color printing mode. Well, the speed is quite impressive but the printer's paper handling capacity is considered one of its constraints. It is limited to a single main tray that can hold 250 sheets with no optional trays to offer.

Interfaces include, USB host and port, Ethernet, and WiFi. With all these options, users may either connect the printer wired or wirelessly to any PC and supported devices. Additionally, through the use of WiFi Direct app, compatible devices can still be paired with the printer even without the presence of a wireless network. Other supported apps include - Brother's very own iPrint&Scan, Apple AirPrint, Google CloudPrint, and lastly the Cortado WorkPlace.

Since the 9330CDW is a one-pass color laser printer, the paper is moved over four drums, one for each of its color laser toner cartridges. Text and color print quality might be slightly sub-par for an LED laser printer among its class. Generally, it offers a fine and average printout quality that may suffice the needs of a small-size office or micro-office.

The Brother MFC-9330CDW is essentially suited for small-level printing particularly in small-size working environments. This printer is very much capable of providing quality prints mostly in text or non-graphical documents, yet it doesn't slack in delivering photo quality printouts.

HP OfficeJet Pro 276dw Color MFP Inkjet Printer

If you prefer an inkjet printer that has the support for CPL and PostScript at a marginal price, the HP OfficeJet Pro 276dw multifunction printer is just the right one. Its set of features is nearly identical to what a color laser printer could offer, specifically for a small-size office. Also it allows you to print, scan, copy and fax, either through wired or wirelessly over a network, and is capable of working as a standalone copier or fax machine.

Since the support of mobile printing is becoming more and more common in most printers nowadays, the 276dw wouldn't want to be left behind. Through its built in Ethernet and WiFi interfaces, users can be able to connect to the Internet and enable cloud printing. Apps such as AirPrint, aside from the printer's own HP ePrint app, can also be downloaded and use to print files directly from any iOS supported devices to the printer. In addition, HP also has their very own Wireless Direct, a counterpart of WiFi Direct, which allows users to connect their mobile devices to the printer even without the presence of a wireless network.

Paper capacity is quite enough considering that it's dedicated for small-level printing, however it doesn't have a multipurpose tray which means that switching the loaded paper to a different type can be a common task. its main tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of plain paper, with standard duplexing (double-sided printing) support. The good news is, the printer's paper handling capacity can be expanded by purchasing the optional 250-sheet second tray, maxing it out to a total of 500 sheets.

The 276dw's scanning functionality is quite impressive, offering a 50-page ADF (automatic-document-feeder), supplemented with a legal-size flatbed scanner. Duplexing works both for copying and scanning purposes, though flipping the page is a manual task.

For a small working environment with less printing needs, a quoted monthly duty cycle of 30,000 pages serves enough. Additionally, a maximum print resolution of 1200 x 1200dpi (dots-per-inch) can possibly produce optimal professional-quality printouts in both black and color printing. HP's thermal inkjet technology, which the 276dw uses, provides a significant reduction in printing cost since it only requires 4 hp inkjet cartridges (CYMK). Its consumables part number are : HP 950 (black), HP 951C (cyan), HP 951M (magenta), HP 951Y (yellow) - all in standard yield. While its high-yield cartridges are : HP 950XL (black) and HP 951XL for the CYM inks.

Samsung Xpress C410W Series With NFC-Enabled Printing Technology

Samsung is not only good in manufacturing high-end mobile and handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets, we're also aware of the company's extreme line of printers competing in the print industry. Given that the company is primarily focusing in their production of mobile devices, which perhaps has a bigger market scope, Samsung's print technology seems to have a new offering.

Leaning towards home and office use, with a nice and seemingly intricate built, Samsung developed not just one or two, but three new printer models for small-capacity printing demands. The key features of these three is the integration of NFC technology which allows a higher level experience of mobile printing functionality. To those who are not familiar of NFC, it is mainly for smartphones and similar devices, it serves as the bridge between two devices to establish connection by bringing them close together. We can simply put it this way, two devices communicate over a short range thru NFC.

The three new printer models included in the Samsung Xpress C410W Series are, Xpress C410W color laser, Xpress C460W MFC color laser, and Xpress C460W color MFC (different from the second one). Both the last two models are multifunction printers, however their difference is that, the first C460W only offers print, scan, and copy functionality, while the last also offers the same, plus with fax. So to avoid confusion in this post, we call the last model as C460Wf, remember that it's only for the purpose of avoiding conflicts.

The C410W series is essentially built for personal home and small-office printing, added with a very reliable feature that allows direct printing capability from user's smartphones and NFC-enabled devices. All these three printers are sporting a professional-looking aesthetics, coated in glossy black and white chassis. Rated to print at 18ppm (pages-per-minute) in mono and 4ppm in colour mode, guess the speed is somewhat a sacrifice considering their set of features. Consumables are basically common, not too much to worry as they only need Samsung laser toner cartridges, but I think it'll be a really huge expense to keep them running especially when use mainly for photo printing.

Printing on the go or virtually anywhere either thru mobile devices, smartphones and tablets, as well as cloud printing, both of these technologies are bringing up the user experience particularly in printing, to its highest levels. We'll keep you posted regarding this new series, so better wait for follow up posts.

Additional products will be demonstrated at the ISTE 2013 Conference OKI Booth (#6287), for more information you may click the link above for the main news.

This is a great endeavor for OKI Data Americas, to develop a new set of products that lean towards providing printing solutions mainly for educational purposes. Schools and organizations must be so rev up to check out all those education technology that OKI will be bringing in this year's ISTE tradeshow. Students should also be engaged on such events like these especially or the young ones who aren't that familiar to use print devices. Also, it could be a great chance to partly imply the essence and advantages of practicing less printing. Though OKI can guarantee the cost-efficiency of their products, supplies and consumables such inks and laser toner cartridges tends to bring a costly burden.

Laser Printer VS Inkjet Printer : Common Issues

First thing you need to determine is to what purpose you'll be using a printer, unless you want to end up having a machine that can do exactly the opposite of what you expect. Laser printers essentially rule basic printing such as text and plain graphics, and typically feature exceptional print speed. On the other hand, inkjet types are rarely use for text-alone printing, simply because it's way too luxurious over using a laser for this task. Inkjet printers are the superior when it comes to photo and high resolution prints, but with a tad slower printing process. Although both type may offer a color version, still inkjets will prevail in terms of producing quality images and full-color graphics. Laser printers are basically good in black&white or mono prints, hence a monochrome laser can spit out crisp and clear text with every printout in a second.

Multifunction printers are good for office and business printing needs. To print alone may be enough for a home office, but ideally, it's better to have a single equipment capable of printing, scanning, copying and sending fax. Between the two types of print devices, laser printers are often preferred by most business establishments and office environments. Primarily because of the speed, cause they need higher productivity in less time. While there are inkjets that can matched up with the speed of lasers, the catch is that the quality is somehow sacrifice. For a personal home printer, an inkjet works best especially if you still have kids that require printing school projects and research.

Printers with supplementary interfaces aside from a USB conneciton is kind of ideal. If it's for personal use, a USB host will do, except for those who intend to purchase one that supports both wired and wireless connection. Professional individuals or home office workers are suited for printers that allow cloud or mobile printing -- print from virtually anywhere. However, workgroups and large working environments will require WiFi connection to support a huge number of users. Additional interfaces like PictBride and memory card slots are optional, depending on your preferences.

Paper capacity is a factor that shouldn't be neglected. Inkjet printers before were limited in capacity, thus they became more suitable for home printing, then eventually they improved by offering larger paper trays and cassettes to fit for heavy-duty printing. A monthly duty-cycle of 8000 pages below will be sufficient enough for home printing, whereas a large office will probably need more than 200,000 pages a month. An automatic-document-feeder that works both in printing and copying makes a plus.

Printer supplies are merely expensive especially ink cartridges, they're comparably high-price than laser toner cartridges. Well you may consider inquiring a printer that supports Econo-mode or Draft-mode printing, that reduces the amount of ink/toner consumption when printing. Purchasing replacements is a recurring expense, so better be ready once you've decided the right model for your needs.

It has a light and modern built suitable as a personal print device for home use, and can also work as a shared printer in any small-size office. Features doesn't seem to exhibit quite a leap, but considering its price, it's actually one of the most affordable MFP you'll ever find in the market.

Functions such as print, copy, scan and fax, all in its compact and portable body. It suits well in any micro-office, given that it can print, fax and scan from a PC as well as over a network. Even without a PC, the B1165nfw can be used as a standalone copier and fax machine, which most office would likely need. Paper handling is a bit flimsy, that's why it's more essential as a personal printer, with a standard input tray capacity of 150 sheets (no optional tray available).

Another reason that defines the B1165nfw as a light-duty device is the lack of duplexing (double-sided printing) feature. Hence if you're used to a printer with automatic duplexer, this one might change things around, whilst it's not a big deal if it sits just beside your desk. One of its pros is a 40-page ADF (automatic-document feeder) that supports letter-size and legal-size documents.

The Dell B1165nfw's print engine has a quoted speed of  21ppm (pages-per-minute) which is fairly nice since it's not intended to use for medium-capacity printing. Options for connectivity include, USB 2.0 port, Ethernet, and WiFi which also supports WiFi Direct. For mobile printing features, these are the apps you might want to consider : Google Cloud Print, Apple AirPrint, and Dell's Android app, any of these enables you to print over a wireless connection. No need to worry about the consumables as it only requires single black/mono laser toner cartridges, however replacing it can be annoying only if you print or copy for more than 30 pages a day.

For offices with medium-duty printing, it's pretty obvious that the Dell B1165nfw Monochrome laser printer is primarily not to be included in your list. While for home or personal printing needs, this machine serves essentially what you need, from print speed, capacity, set of features and output quality. A compact and well-rounded printer preferably for light-duty use at such a low price.

Latest Brother Digital Color AIO MFC-9000 Series

Brother USA has finally revealed the company's newest addition to their continuously widening range of electronic products particularly in the Print Industry. With Brother's latest line of multifunction centre, the MFC-9000 series, they're practically rivaling with the local copy center business. Simplicity, mobility, compact and sporting a sophisticated look with rich features, these are the basic qualities that the MFC-9000 series has to offer.

Printer models included in the new series has a print speed ranging from 19-23 pages-per-minute in color mode, while offering a standard resolution of 600 x 2400 dots-per-inch. Users can print, copy, scan and fax, whichever model you choose. Although it has a seemingly low paper input capacity that can only hold 250 sheets of plain paper.

Each of these desktop printers from the MFC-9000 series is equipped with a 3.7'' touchscreen color LCD where it allows users to directly access social media accounts such as Facebook, Picasa, Evernote, GoogleBox, DropBox, Flickr and many more. File-sharing has never been this much easy, whilst it isn't a new innovation, still Brother seems to be doing great when it comes to additional features. Print directly from social media and cloud storage accounts to the printer, without the hassle to move the files into a flash drive, memory card or PC first.

Talking about features, this series also supports mobile printing as well as wireless printing with their built-in WiFi interface. Printing directly via an iOS or Android powered devices is one of the key-features that the MFC-9000 series offer.

These desktop printers perfectly work with high-capacity or high-yield brother toner cartridges, which in fact reduces the cost-per-page with every print. Cartridges with standard capacity provides a well-off printing cost, but high-capacity cartridges can generate outputs twice the rate of standard toners at a much lower cpp.

The MFC-9000 series leans towards serving small-sized businesses and offices where printing is mainly use for marketing materials such as coloured catalogs and booklets. In addition, these printers are efficient in terms of power consumption as they only use approximately about 2 watts in standby mode, and turns itself OFF when not in use. If speed and capacity aren't much of your concern, while operating costs and energy-saving features matter more importantly, then Brother's MFC-9000 series may be a good choice for your business.

Canon Color imageClass MF8280CW MFP Laser Printer

Here's a follow up post for Canon Color imageClass MF8280CW, you may find the previous post here Canon's New MFP Printers - imageCLASS MF8280CW and imageCLASS MF8580CDW  which provides quite a brief information regarding the said model. While this post will focus mainly for the MF8280CW printer.

The Canon imageClass MF8280CW function as a printer, scanner and a stand alone copier or fax machine. Built perfectly for light-duty printing preferably for small office, workgroup or even as a home printer. It practically offers a set of features basically similar to one of its predecessor the MFP MF8080CW, albeit the MF8280CW sports faster print speed and above average printout quality. So essentially, it's much of an improved version of the MF8080CW, with a surprisingly lower price.

It supports an automatic document feeder, however there's no duplexing feature nor an option to have it. Paper handling capacity includes a 150-sheet main input tray which might serve enough for a micro office. The printer's minimal input capacity may tend to require paper sheet refilling if your office requires printing more than hundred pages per day. Its flatbed scanner comes with a 50-page ADF (automatic-document-feeder), which supports legal-size pages.

Considering its low paper handling capacity, and combining all its features, it's kind of unexpected that it weighs about 57.3 pounds. That's a bit heavy if you'll compare some competing models in its range that can offer the same features and functionality.

Interfaces for connectivity and printing options include a high-speed USB, an Ethernet and WiFi for either wired or wireless connection. The Canon imageClass MF8280CW has a quoted print speed of 14ppm (pages per minute) for both mono and color mode. It only requires four laser toner cartridges such as the general CYMK tanks.

Printout quality falls into average bracket, given that the MF8280CW used Canon's Pure Black and Auto Gradation Adjustment technology. Hence, a small office with light printing demand may get along well with the Canon Color imageClass MF8280CW MFP printer.

A Short List Of Some Notable Color LED Printers From Dell And Brother

Laser printers are getting more and more affordable, the cost of ownership rather falls into the same bracket as of inkjet printers. Hence, when LED printers came into view, they give it a nice deal to offer consumers a new style of printing. Whilst these LED printers are basically laser printers as well, they used LED lights which replaced laser lights from conventional laser printers. The rest of its mechanism are quite the same or rather still complex as with laser printer, not so much of difference. Here's a short list of some of the notable LED printers in the market that might suit your interest.

Brother HL-3170CDW Color LED Printer

A typically compact color LED printer that provides office-oriented features for small workgroups, with a price range of $199.99 - $290. It supports duplex (double sided) printing, plus wired and wireless interfaces for better connectivity. The printer's main tray capacity which can hold 250 sheets, complements its monthly duty cycle at up to 30,000 pages. The HL-3170CDW's front panel has a fixed mounted display with minimal operational buttons, also the screen is just a mono LCD.

Dell MFP 1355CNW Color LED Printer

This one doesn't offer much features compared to the first one, however its economical LED engine compensates it all. It doesn't offer an autoduplexer, but there's an ample of options for connectivity which include a high-speed USB 2.0, LAN and WiFi for wireless networking. Monthly print capacity is the same with HL-3170CDW, but they differ in main tray support since the 1355CNW's bin can only hold 150 sheets. Its LCD is a bit larger, a four-line mono screen with numerous buttons including the directional keys. Since the screen has a bigger space to display more characters, users can control paper size and type, or browse through the printers features and settings.

Dell 1250c Single-Function Color LED Printer

Another Dell product, however it's just a single-function machine for users who don't need the fax, copy or scan features. Seemingly, aside from less functionality this printer also lacks Ethernet and WiFi support, and a USB host is the only option to use. Less features means less complex, take note that this printer is dedicated for light-duty printing, hence its input tray only holds 150 sheets. Another remark is that Dell 1250c's option to access the laser toner cartridges is partly different. Instead of popping up the front panel, the access door is located at the right side of the machine to reveal the toner tray.

These are just some of the note worthy and latest printer models that use LED printing technology. While there are more them to consider, some are just late models that at this time there might be an upgraded version of them to feature instead. For a full list of LED printers, visit CNET's printer review page about LED printers.

Your Easy Guide For Buying A New Printer

Buying a printer isn't just like going to a grocery store then pick up everything from your item list. There are several questions and factors which should be considered especially for someone who haven't bought a printer before. Figure out every single detail and determine your needs, start by asking yourself with the question "How?". You are supposed to use it for a certain purpose, but how are you planning to do so. Do you intend to make use of it for business or just a personal printer? It's overwhelming and the best way to make it easy is by pointing out your primary purpose of buying a printer.

Office, Home or Business?

A personal printer or home printer somehow serve partly limited features. All-in-one or multifunction printers can either be use for home, office or business printing, it's the machine's additional features that determine its suitable environment. Photo printers usually offer CD/DVD printing functionality, however not all models or brands supports this feature. If the printer is mainly for business, look for high-capacity printers with quoted duty cycle of not below 100,000 pages.

Wired or Wireless?

Wireless networks are available almost everywhere, even mobile devices that supports wireless connection are very common. If your home, office, or business has wireless networking, get a WiFi enabled printer so you set it up over a network where everyone can connect to it and send their prints. Shared printers or workgroup printers offer wider range of printing possibilities. In addition, mobile printing is now widely by most users, hence a printer which supports printing form virtually anywhere bears a lot of importance.

Standard-capacity or High-capacity?

This question can be answered briefly by simply determining the environment from where you plan to use the machine. The level or volume of printing at home is different from the demand in any office or business environment. For home, an input tray with 100-sheet capacity is sufficiently enough, while for larger businesses a 580-sheet tray is more than sufficient.

Supplies and Consumables

Print quality is dependent to the consumables you will be using with your printer, these can either be a laser toner cartridge or an inkjet cartridge, depending on the type of machine you bought. While toners doesn't have much differences, inks have two types such as dye-based and pigment-based. Among these two ink types the first one produces more vivid and high-definition output.
