Dell Colour Printer 720**- Affordable Inkjet Solution > Reviews (11)

-Introduction-
I got this printer for my Christmas a couple of years ago now. I got it free with my computer (see other review) and I really cant complain. It has done me well for school projects and just printing stuff. I have never used it to print photos but it does say that it is a photo quality printer on the label.

-Getting started-
It is easy to connect up via a USB cable supplied and a power supply, also supplied. It takes about 3 minutes to install on to the computer via an automatic installation, cant remember if a CD is required but if it is its included. It is really easy to put cartridges in place, Full instructions on how to.

-Instructions-
The instruction manual is like most dell information, detailed and easy to follow with lots of pictures and easy to follow diagrams. It includes setting up, adding cartridges, dell customer support and all the usual stuff.

-Style-
Its not one of the most attractive things in the world, it's a kind of greyish colour with black paper feed trays and catch tray. The sides and back are also black. There is a big dell badge on the front and set to the side the power button is on a weird oval type raised platform.

-Paper feed-
It has an adjustable paper feed tray with A4 paper being the biggest size. To adjust it you just have to pull the little grey tab along, so easy to do. The only problem I have came across is if you have too much paper it can be hard to get it all in.

-Cartridges-
There are two cartridges needed for this printer, a Black and a coloured cartridge. They are about an inch wide and one and a half inches high. You will receive 2 "trial" cartridges with the printer but these will run out quickly. You can refill the cartridges with a normal refill pack or you can try to find a new cartridge for it. I spent a whole afternoon looking around Falkirk for a cartridge for it and still didn't find one but luckily my dad found one in PC world in Stirling. I don't know the price but most cartridges are expensive. When you are printing a display comes up showing how much ink you have left in your cartridge. Very handy for knowing when to find a new cartridge.

-Print quality-
Personally I think the print quality isn't that good, streaky lines appear on the page if good paper isn't used and Picture quality can be dulled.
It wouldn't be my first choice of printer if I were looking for something with good quality.

-Over view-
A good cheap printer, not so good quality and hard to find cartridges but all in all a nice little printer for home use.
