What we think: Dell™ 1355cnw Multifunction Color Printer

Perhaps the most important aspect of the Dell™ 1355cnw Multifunction Color Printer is that you can relax, knowing that this printer is low maintenance. This is due to a drum fuser unit that is designed to last the life of the printer, unlike other laser printers where the replacement drum fuser unit often is priced higher than what you paid for it ( Based on comparison of printer volume, (WXDXH) performed by Dell in August 2010 with paper tray closed). Unlike inkjet color printers where the ink can dry out, the laser toner can last months longer without the issue of drying out.
