World's Fastest Office Colour Laser Printer


The Dell 5130cdn can print up to 47 single-sided and up to 37 double-sided letter pages per minute in both mono and colour.

Thursday, November 12, 2009: Dell has launched three new commercial workgroup printers to help businesses of all sizes increase productivity and lower their total cost of printing. Printers available today in the United States include the Dell 5130cdn, claimed to be the world's fastest single function letter-size office colour laser printer, the Dell 7130cdn, Dell’s first LED colour printer with tabloid-size printing capability; and the Dell 3330dn, a single-function monochrome laser printer for high-performance black and white printing.



These new printers will be available in Europe and the Middle East on 24 November 2009.

The Dell 5130cdn can print up to 47 single-sided and up to 37 double-sided letter pages per minute (ppm) in both mono and colour (actual print speeds will vary with use), making it the world’s fastest letter size single-function office colour laser printer. The 5130cdn also premiers ColorbyDell, a total print quality solution that claims to deliver excellent colour saturation and image sharpness and outstanding print quality. This is enabled through a combination of a new image enhancement algorithm, advanced toner technology and improvements in print engine design.

The Dell 5130cdn is also designed to bring energy and cost savings by using a new toner formulation that fuses at a lower temperature, enabling a remarkable Cost Per Page (CPP) of 1.04c for black and white and 7.71c for colour print outs.

Dell has also announced the availability of Dell ColorTrack Pro — a built-in remote administration tool for IT administrators to centrally monitor and control access to colour printing on the Dell 5130cdn. Designed for workgroup environments, Dell ColorTrack Pro manages user access at the server level, to easily control printing and toner costs.

The Dell 7130cdn is Dell's first LED-based colour printer with the ability to print up to tabloid-size, Pantone approved colour prints, for accurate colour reproduction. The Dell 7130cdn includes numerous paper handling options, a powerful processor and robust memory. This allows the printer to print the first page (First Print Out Time) as quickly as 6.5 seconds in both mono and colour.

The Dell 7130cdn is available today in the US from $2,799 including one year Next Business Day (NBD) Onsite Service after Remote Diagnosis.

On the black and white printing front, Dell announced the Dell 3330dn, a single-function black and white performance printer that can print up to 40 letter pages per minute (ppm) (actual print speed will vary with use), with a monthly duty cycle up to 80,000 pages. The Dell 3330dn, as the company puts it, packs work-horse reliability and has paper drawer and memory expansion options that grow with increasing business demands.

The Dell 3330dn is currently available in the US from $599 with one year Advanced Exchange Service.

“Dell has always focussed on efficiency, reducing costs and increasing productivity for businesses of all sizes, and today we have extended that same winning formula to the printing world,” said Mike Arterbury, global director, commercial software and peripherals, Dell Inc. “Our portfolio of printers provides customers with valuable and affordable choices and low cost of printing, saving them time – and real money.”

Dell printers are available direct from Dell and from Dell’s more than 50,000 partners worldwide. more
