The Dell 1250c colour printer uses LED technology instead of the more-common laser to create equally crisp results. Priced from just £175 inc VAT, it makes colour output seem attainable even for a home office. Unfortunately, Dell's exorbitant toner costs make this printer unbearably pricey in the long term.
Printer vendors often charge lower-volume users less for the printer and more for the toner, but Dell has set a new record with the 1250c colour LED printer. The printer ships with standard-size, 700-page supplies. The black toner costs £41(5.9p per page), while each colour costs £50(7.1p per page). Those prices would look expensive even compared with the costs of a colour inkjet printer. The higher-yield supplies, at £55 each for colour and £52 for black, are merely onerous: the black toner lasts 2, 000 pages(2.6p per page), and each colour lasts 1, 400 pages
