Dell 964 Ink Cartridges

Dell 964 Printer Review

The Dell 964 all-in-one printer is a solid looking machine with standalone faxing and copying capabilities. It features a 50 page automatic document feeder for bulk copying and can access pictures directly from your camera or memory card. While not as impressive as similarly priced models, the Dell 964 ink printer is better at printing photos than it is documents, so it's a good printer to have in the home rather than a small business office.

This printer has a print resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi and can print up to 26 pages per minute for black and 20 pages per minute for color. However, for a printer of this size and price, it could print faster. The Dell 964 inkjet cartridges are inexpensive and easy to replace. As with most photo printers of this type, you can choose to replace the standard black and three-color tanks with a six-color Dell 964 inkjet cartridge made for high quality photo printing. At 22 pounds it's a little on the heavier side, but with an automatic feeder on top and a 100 page paper tray underneath, the conveniences outweigh its size.

With standalone faxing and copying, you don't need to connect to your computer for quick tasks. There is an optional wireless network adapter you can purchase and the printer is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista. When printing photos you'll be able to produce high quality borderless pictures suitable for framing, but it lacks clarity when printing text.

Overall, experts recommend purchasing a different model in the same price range in order to get better all-in-one business document results. However, if you're more interested in printing photos quickly, then the Dell A964 inkjet printer is an ideal choice.

Where this printer lacks as an all-in-one workhorse, it excels as a home office or photo center. It certainly has some standout extras, including an automatic feeder and standalone features which will help make simple office tasks faster and easier.
