It is said that this printer comes with "starter" cartridges. What is their capacities? If bought off the Dell site, the printer comes with 3,000 pages per cartridges. At this greatly reduced price, are the included cartridges the same as Dell?

The carton I received was a factory sealed unit. After removing all packing including assorted tape, I ran several test pages and found the display indicates the cartridges are full. These appear to be factory starter cartridges all in new condition as was the printer. I am happy with the price and choose to spend part of the savings on the SquareTrade 4 year service plan.

We purchased a new unit. I believe it does come with all four starter ink cartridges. We've had the unit in our office for about a year and have gone through a few of the color cartridges and the black.

It ships with cartridges, but they don't have as much ink as regular cartridges. Almost all printers are shipped with lower capacity cartridges that don't last anywhere near as long as the replacements.

It comes with "Starter" toner which lasted about 500 pages. The actual replacement toner is not a bad price for the number of copies you get.

The printer does come with starter cartridges, which are not 100% full. I would plan or ordering a set if you're going to be printing a lot right off the bat.

Yes, the printer comes with a complete set of 3 colored and 1 black ink cartridge. This first set of cartridges will not print quite as many pages or photos as future sets will yield, due to the printer requiring ink to 'prime' the delivery tubes for the first time. Consider buying the extended capacity cartridges (#127) for the slightly higher price, the cartridges will last much longer.

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer. It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer.

I think so as my research showed that you can get more pages per dollar than traditional cartridges and you can search and find the cartridges for less or even refurbished like I did as well. I've had mine for almost 6 months and based on my small business usage I should get an additional 9 months or more without changing the cartridges the first time. This has been the best printer I've ever owned of many. Good luck!

I purchased 4 PC's for my business. So far so good. I've haven't had any problems. I'm very happy with them. As far as it working with your printer, I would suggest you contact Dell directly.

My mother just purchased one, so even though I haven't bought one myself, I set it up and have seen the specs.1: Starter cartridges are rated for ~500 pages... Standard cartridges rated for 1200 (black) and 1000 (cyan, magenta, and yellow).2: Multiple cartridges... one for each of the colors (C, M, Y, K).3: (N/A)

The starter color cartridges that come with it will last awhile if you only occasionally use color. I use it at my business, have had it for about 2 1/2 months, made a lot of copies, and haven't even approached the ink tanks having to be replaced. These are only the starter cartriges. I purchased an "XL" cartrige in black to replace the starter one when it ran out, looks like it will be about 6 months or so before I need to even think about it. The cartriges are not cheap but if they last well beyond what the starter ones do, they're well worth it. Print about 100 - 150 pages per day on average.

Hi Jay, yes the printer comes with toners. Two things to know about them. They are called the "starter kit", and they will keep you printing for a while, but they do not have the full capacity of toners that you purchase separately. The printer will give you full and fair warning about when the toners are low, i.e. "estimated 156 pages left for black toner." The second thing is that the toners in my machine had spilled onto the machine lenses during shipping, producing streaks in the copy that came out. So I had to go inside and wipe the lenses off with a soft cloth. Beautiful prints after that. Hope that this helps you with your question. Good luck! Hi Jay, yes the printer comes with toners.

Yes, it comes with a starter toner cartridge, but it printed only 430 pages for me before it ran out. You should consider what the cost of a replacement toner cartridge is when you buy this printer.

Just for clarification, the starter cartridge isn't quite a TN-420--it's just generically labeled "TN" and, as you note, lasts for significantly fewer pages. The TN-420 actually lasts for about 1200 pages, but I don't know why anyone would get that over the TN-450 (2600 pages) unless they are an extremely low-volume user and strapped for cash.Personally, I'm on 880 pages with the starter, primarily text, and still going (but probably not much longer), although it's been complaining about low toner since about page 500.

If I understand the question - This printer comes loaded with ink cartridges. Although, the cartridges are fairly low capacity. Enough to get you by for awhile. I hope this answers your question.

They have starter toners that have about 3,000 prints. Full toners do about 20,000 if I remember correctly. I've had my printer for 3 years and think it is great. Only downside is that is it Big and Heavy.
