Second: This may be the ugliest printer I've ever seen. Dell's own product page doesn't mention the feature, and a third-party review calls out the omission. Two things you should know right away: Although Staples' product page says otherwise, this printer does not offer duplexing.
The E525w lists for $329.99 and sells elsewhere for at least $200. I have no idea when this deal is set to expire or what kind of inventory Staples has available. Thankfully, "springing" doesn't have to mean "splurging," at least today: Staples has the Dell E525w color laser all-in-one printer for $119.99 shipped (plus tax). The print quality tends to be much better (especially on plain paper), the overall cost of consumables tends to be lower and you'll never have to experience the aggravation of throwing away an expensive ink cartridge that's clogged or dried up because you didn't print for a month.Īnd if you're going to spring for a color laser printer, you might as well get one that's also a scanner, copier and fax machine - in other words, an all-in-one (aka multifunction, or MFP). When it comes to printers, laser always beats inkjet.
And I'll try to remember to mention this when posting similar deals. I'm told everything is ironed out now, but it's just something to be aware of going forward.
