Dell Introduces the Dell Laser Printer 1720 and 1720dn - Ideal for businesses, homes or departmental workgroup printing
Dubai, UAE - High performance laser printing for home and small businesses becomes even more accessible today, with the announcement of two new monochrome laser printers from Dell, the Dell Laser Printer 1720 and Dell Laser Printer 1720dn. These compact and robust A4 monochrome printers, offering exceptional price performance and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefits, are available in Europe, Middle East and Africa immediately priced at AED 999 and AED 1449 respectively.
Perfect for use within a departmental workgroup or small business environment, the Dell Laser Printer 1720dn includes integrated networking and duplex printing (print both sides) as standard. Environmental considerations are fast becoming as important to small businesses as they are to large multinational corporations: duplex printing enables businesses to save money on paper costs, whilst using less paper both lessens environmental impacts and reduces document bulk. Through the Dell Recycling programme, Dell printer customers receive free pick-up and recycling of their old printer, regardless of the manufacturer. This programme covers most EMEA countries1. Dell also offers free recycling of used printer toner cartridges in most Western European countries2. For additional information and specifications, visit www.dell.com/recycling www.dell.com/me.
"Home and business customers alike continue to look for both high-performance and high-quality output from today's business laser printer products. At the same time they expect a printer that continues to deliver real print budget benefits, today and tomorrow," said Michael Buck, Director of Software and Peripherals for Dell EMEA. "The new 1720 and 1720dn laser printers continue the high performance/value pricing standards set by their predecessor products, the award-winning Dell Laser Printer 1710 series. We are confident that our customers will be delighted with the feature and performance improvements in the new models. Dell continues to drive down print costs to the benefit of our customers."
Reliable and Robust
Suited to any size of office or home thanks to its compact footprint, the Dell Laser Printer 1720 models are ideal for fast personal printing in small or home offices. The two new models build upon Dell's highly successful 1710/1710n series of laser printers offering even faster performance with print speeds of up to 28 A4 pages per minute and a robust duty cycle of up to 25,000 pages per month.
Warm-Up to Productivity
Nothing is less productive than standing at a printer waiting for a document to print. New to the Dell Laser 1720 and 1720dn is Dell's Instant Warm-Up feature which ensures the printer is always ready to print, reducing the time to first print to as little as 7.5 seconds, even from energy-efficient 'sleep mode' (which uses just 2% of the power required for 'print' mode).
