The Dell 3130cn would be a welcome workhorse for any small office or workgroup.

The high-yield versions (all 9000 pages) offer true savings: black costs $132 or 1.5 cents per page, while each color costs $241 (2.7 cents per color), resulting in a four-color page cost of less than 10 cents. At these capacities, you’ll pay just 2 cents per plain-text page, about 12 cents for a page with all four colors. The machine ships with standard-size supplies: a 4000-page black (K) cartridge, and 3000-page cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y) cartridges. The 3130cn’s toner costs reflect the greater savings you get with higher-capacity toner cartridges. The harder-to-find side button, which opens the entire front panel of the printer to reveal the toner cartridges, also exposes the transfer belt I’m just waiting for some butterfingers (like me) to drop a toner cartridge right on this delicate piece. Well, actually there are two peeves in this area of the design: On the harmless side, anyone who wants to open that panel could easily unfold the multipurpose tray by mistake, because its pull-down handle is right on the front.

My only real peeve is with the front panel. A two-line, monochrome LCD with navigational buttons adjacent makes the menus easily accessible. Strategically placed decals and colored markings make it easy to figure out common tasks such as loading paper and changing toner on the fly. An optional, 550-sheet second input tray ($229) expands capacity significantly. The 3130cn’s otherwise generous configuration starts with 250-sheet input and output trays and a roomy, 150-sheet multipurpose tray.
