Dell C1760nw Toner Cartridges

Dell C1760nw Printer Review

As part of the C1760 series of color laser class printers, the Dell C1760nw includes both wired and wireless networking, but still comes at an affordable upfront price. It is compatible with many popular mobile devices, with specialized apps. Print speeds of 15 pages per minute in black and 12 pages per minute in color are a little disappointing, but compatible alternatives to expensive OEM Dell C1760nw printer toner could make it very affordable long-term.

The C1760nw is probably more suited to a home office or micro office, due to its small input paper capacity of only 150 sheets, though it does have a 10-sheet bypass tray for alternative media. With dimensions of only 8.9x15.5x11.8 inches and a weight of just 23.4 pounds that includes the Dell C1760nw toner supplies, it will be a good fit for fairly small spaces.

A few similar models have lacked a wired ethernet port, so it is nice to see one included here, for those who need it. In addition to the Wi-Fi support, the inclusion of a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button makes setting it up and sharing across the network a matter of two button presses, as long as users have a router that supports the feature.

The cost of OEM toners can really add up, especially with four Dell C1760nw toner cartridges to replace. Fortunately, compatible Dell C1760nw toner cartridges can be purchased online from third-party vendors. These are often less than half the price of OEM versions, and can keep the cost per page down.

The C1760nw represents a decent upgrade from other models like the C1660w, but those who don't need the wired networking or the extra speed could save a little on the purchase price. Though its speeds are a little slow, this laser class model could be an affordable choice for home and micro offices.
