Dell rolls out three new printer models

Dell claims that its new laser printers are 25 per cent more energy efficient than conventional models

Dell has unveiled a new line of laser printers designed for home users and small to medium sized businesses.

The printers range from a low-cost black and white model, to a multi-function colour laser system which includes copying and scanning capabilities.

Dell is aiming the 2230d model, a black and white direct connection printer, at users who want an affordable laser printer for use with a single computer.

The 1235cn colour laser model sports multi-function capabilities, a 16.3in x 14.7in footprint and scanning and fax capabilities.

The 2145cn system, meanwhile, is aimed at small firms and offers copy and print features along with an 80GB hard disk, and a 350-sheet standard paper capacity.

Each of the new models will also support double-sided printing, and the laser models run with some 25 per cent more energy efficiency than conventional printer models, according to Dell.

Earlier in the day, Dell unveiled a rugged notebook model which sports a "ballistic armour" casing.
