Dell has introduced their first LED printer with Dell Clear View LED printing technology. The new Dell 1000 series LED printers are available now for a starting price of $229. The printer offers 10ppm color printing and uses 8% less power than competing laser printers. Dell says recent advancements in LED printing technology have seen vast improvements in print quality of conventional LED printers, making them a good alternative choice over Laser printers. The short optical path for the LED printhead allows LED printers to be compact in size compared to Laser printers. With simple mechanical parts, conventional LED printers are also reliable with low noise levels during printing, compared to complex rotating mirrors and lenses used in Laser printers.

Dell also claims that their Clear View LED printing technology offers further improvements over conventional LED print technology including:

  • Excellent print quality: Great accuracy, control and uniform light emission with an intelligent self-scanning LED print head.
  • Maximize your workspace: A small print head allows for ultra-compact printer design.
  • Reliable and lasting performance: From simple mechanical parts.
  • Low maintenance: Drum and fuser unit designed to last the lifetime of the printer. Simple design removes need for maintenance kit and replacing waste toner box. Only four toner consumables need to be replaced.
  • Energy efficient: An enhanced image controller uses low power during printing.
  • Amazing color: A sophisticated print engine design and transfer belt that transfers four colors simultaneously for excellent color registration and color saturation.
  • High print quality finish: With advanced toner technology, you get consistent print quality and more saturated color reproduction with an excellent finish on coated paper for eye-catching business graphics or text.
  • Superb image quality and print speeds: Image enhancement technology that gives excellent color reproduction with sharp and crisp text quality on white, black or colored backgrounds, at fast print speeds.

The Dell 1000 series LED printers will include 1250c Color Printer priced $299 and 1350cnw Color Printer priced $399. Both the LED printers are available now. Dell will also launch 1355cnw Color printer in November priced $399 for wired version and $449 for WiFi version.
