Pros And Cons Of Buying A Dell Inkjet Printer For Your Home Or Office

The Dell inkjet printer is maybe one of the most sought-after when it comes to printers available in the market. However, here are some advantages as well as disadvantages about buying such a printer.

Affordability

One of the main advantages about the Dell inkjet printer lies in its affordable pricing. Compared to other manufacturers, the Dell printers are priced least. If you are combining your purchase along with a Dell PC, you also stand to get several complementary accessories as part of the deal. Thus, overall, it works out as a major cost advantage for you.

Plenty of options

Dell inkjet printers are available in a wide range of options. There are numerous models to choose in the market. Inkjet models are also available as all in one or multifunctional units. Thus, if you are looking for a versatile home printer and office supplies, these can represent the perfect solution for you. When it comes to Dell as a brand, the company provides more options even in the multifunctional printer segment.

Service issues

One of the main drawbacks of purchasing a Dell inkjet printer is the customer service levels. During the year 2006, Dell was under scrutiny because customer complaints had dramatically increased. Most customers who needed a call back never got the call back!

Faulty business practices

One of the other reasons why it may not be a good idea to choose a Dell inkjet printer as your home printer or even an office printer is because of faulty business practices on the part of the company. During 2008, Dell was accused of using misleading campaigns in advertising and there were also a number of issues pertaining to their products. Over 1000 customers of Dell signed on to contribute to the case.

Costly supplies

It is a known fact that almost every Dell inkjet printer has a much smaller printer ink cartridge compared to other brands. Compared to other models, the toners and cartridges for Dell inkjet printers are much smaller. This entails that the cost towards printer ink is much more especially in the long-term perspective. Though individual printer ink cartridges are priced lesser, you need to frequently buy inks which results to greater expenses. The new toners and ink compatible with the Dell inkjet printer can be bought directly from Dell. You cannot buy these from third party suppliers.

Not their own manufacturing

One aspect about Dell inkjet printer is that these are actually Lexmark printers sold under the brand name of Dell. If you have a liking towards Lexmark printers, this should not be an issue for you but if you dislike them because of the numerous customer issues, this can pose a problem. Thus, if you intend to purchase a Dell inkjet printer, consider that you might run into numerous issues once you buy it.

The ultimate decision to purchase a Dell inkjet printer is yours alone. However, considering these pros and cons will help you make a more informed decision.
