My first post. Dell Outlet 3000CN Color Laser Printer $179, Refurbished

Link

free shipping

Where is the hot deal? That is the price that it has been for LONG time.


Just a few weeks ago it was 200-20% off = 160 and that wasnt even hot enough to get posted on FW.

150 or less to be hot.

How much for consumables? How's the print quality?

Thanks OP, I had been debating getting one, but the shipping was the killer for me. I got the 3000cn w/ free shipping and extra 2% for DPA, so total was ~$175 shipped.

Looks like a pretty sweet deal - might need to get one of these for my small business....

solarspin said:. I have the 5100cn and it is the best! 8K toners, duplex, speed... and it is $549 last I looked. It was under $400 a few months back, with free shipping.

I loved the 5100cn for the price/functionality so much that I got in on the $400 deal last October for replacement parts for down the road use. For photo I still prefer the 3100cn.

Looks like the 3000cn cannot print Adobe stuff??

Also, do the refurbs come with the same toner new ones do?

3100cn has the extra paper tray, comes (new) with 4k black and 3x4k color toners, and does Adobe Post Script. PS is used my Apple PCs and can be used my a windoze PC, but it is generally SLOWER (in this case) than using the non-PS mode.

300cn comes (new) with a 2k black and 3x1k color toners.

My REFURB 3000cn I got last year came with a 4k black and 3x2k color toners. Others reported the same thing, but I would say it is a HUGE YMMV since if you get the 1k color toners you can't complain.

If you price the toners, the 3100cn refurb is about the same cost as the toners - and you get a free drum (then toss the rest of the printer - or fleabay it - or save it). The 3000cn is a better deal to most IF you get 4k/2k toners, but if you get 2k/1k toners with it - then the 3100cn would be the better choice.

On the 3000cn refurb toners, I think you can count on the 4K/2K toners. As I I see it . . . . If they are listed as refurbs, then they come with replacement toners, and you can only buy the 4K/2K toners as replacements. I bought a total of 6 refurbs back when they were about $106 shipped, and all came with the 4K/2K 4-pack.

Still YMMV, but I would be fairly confident.

Looks like it went up $5

I called Thursday night to see if I could get my FedEx discount on the refurb and they said no but got a new one for 224.00. I hope I get the larger capacity toners with a new one. It should be here tomorrow.
Does anyone ever refill the cartridges? And if so where you do get the refills? www.123ink.com
