Dell has decided to spread itself into the printing market by coming out with it's own line of printers and cartidges. As part of their printing system, when the printer is running low on ink or toner, the printer will let you know, and allow you to connect to their website in order to order more ink. Prices are said to be competitively priced to HP printers and I'm interested to see how good the quality of the printers will be.Check out the printers themselves at Dell's Printer Page.

Dell, which is a close second to HP in the personal computer market, said it will sell one inkjet printer and three laser printers priced from $139 to $839. It will also sell ink cartridges starting at $29.95 and toner cartridges from $75.

"We look at the total delivery of the system -- not just the printer. It's the cartridge, the services, everything," said Tim Peters, general manager of Dell imaging and printing.

Peters said that Dell will make it easier for customers to use its printers because it has created an online replenishment system in which the printer warns that toner is getting low and then prompts the user to order more over the Internet. Dell will ship the cartridges out without charging for handling.
