Issue with dell b2360dn printer pro#
Where reliability and service are paramount, we'd still buy the MS415dn Pro for its three-year warranty, which is an optional extra for the B2360dn. Using its 8,500-page high capacity return programme toner, costs work out at just over 1.6p per page, although this is more forgivable given this printer's significantly lower price. Our main reservation about the MS415dn is that its print costs are a little on the high side, and the same is true of the B2360dn. They don't look alike, but the Dell B2360dn is very similar to the Lexmark MS415dn Pro, which in specification and the B2360dn performed almost identically across our tests. Our tests had progressive, accurate shading, virtually no banding, and no obvious half-toning patterns or other weaknesses. Print quality was exceptional, with the crisp black text you'd expect from a laser printer coupled with excellent photo prints and graphics. Allowed to rest for an hour, it produced a first page of text in only nine seconds. It was generally just as fast when printing graphics, but pauses before each of four PowerPoint slides meant it managed only 21.2ppm in our 24-page test. The B2360dn delivered its first page of text in just eight seconds, and printed 25 pages in 45 seconds (33.3ppm).

The only notable omission is a USB port for direct printing. At the top is a control panel with a two-line backlit display - it's basic, but sufficient. The printer's standard 150-page paper output tray is a little shallow, but a wide paper stop helps keep printed pages in good order. Those needing greater capacity can add a second 550-sheet cassette for around £115. Adjust the cassette for A4 paper and it stands slightly proud at the rear, but the design keeps it covered to avoid dust getting in. This printer's main 250-page input cassette feels built to last, and there's a well-designed 50-page multipurpose feed above it.
