The first of Dell's new range of LED-based machines sets a new form factor for the colour page printer.
Expert review by : Melissa Riofrio, >PC World (techadvisor.co.uk)
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...
?The Dell 1250c colour LED printer puts quality colour printing within range of lower-budget users. Unless you plan not to print much, however, your budget will quickly be busted by this model's high toner costs.

The smallest âlaser-styleâ printer in the world If you want a colour printer, you'll probably want to put it on a desk or table so the overall size is important. Dellâs âlaser-styleâ ...

For years virtually all page printers have been based on laser engines, with only one main manufacturer using a printer based on an LED mechanism. In the last year, though, two more suppliers have launched LED ...
If you want colour business print, but don't have a lot of room for a printer, this machine could suit you. While it's comparatively slow and its colour toner is expensive, it produces good quality print and is quiet for this type of machine. A mixed...

Good print quality for both colour and mono documents, low initial price
High ongoing toner costs, slow prints
The Dell 1250c has good print quality and a low initial price, but its toner is expensive and it prints slowly.

Dell 1250c Color LED Laser-Class Printer
The ; is easy to set up and delivers high-resolution documents in black as well as color.
The printer can only connect to one computer at a time through a USB port in the pack, lacking Ethernet and Wi-Fi networking.
The Dell 1250c color laser printer's compact frame makes sense for users in a confined space, but its lack of Ethernet and wireless connectivity limits its appeal for networked offices.

The Dell 1250c Color LED Printer prints high-quality output at fast speed.
Fast. Reasonably high-quality output across the board. Above-par photo quality.
USB connection only. Low paper capacity, at 150-sheets.

Affordable purchase price ; Nice color quality
Severely overpriced toner ; Control-panel lights are difficult to interpret
This color LED printer's low purchase price is tempting, but its extremely high toner costs are off-putting.

Like the 1350cnw, the 1250c is an LED printer, which means it's similar to a laser, but uses LEDs instead of a laser to draw the image of each page when it prints. One advantage of LEDs is that they help keep the printer size down. In the case of the...

The Dell 1250c Color LED Printer delivers faster speed and better output quality overall than anything else in its price class, but at a somewhat higher cost per page.
Expert review by : Rossi Fernandes (tech.firstpost.com)
Dell has made its entry into the LED printer category with its 1000 series, and we have with us the 1250c, which uses Dell's Clear View LED print
The Dell 1250c, which costs around Rs. 17,000, comes in a compact package and provides decent energy savings. In terms of price per print, however, an inkjet MFD would be more economical. Dell 1250c - one of the smaller colour laser printers around
