Title:

Best Printer I have ever owned!!!

Product Uses:pictures, business flyers, envelopes, every day use
Review:I have worked with several other brands and nothing has compared to my Dell. I actually brought this from my house to use at my office and plan on buying a new one for home. Prints great pictures, the ink is SO cheap compared to the other guys. I have not had one problem with this Dell in the last year + that I have owned it with daily use. I think our whole office is planning on switching. Can’t go wrong, great buy, great price!!!

Unreliable printer

Review:The printer is not reliable. It sometimes doesn't manage to bring forth the paper, and it sometimes doesn't manage to print black ink even though there is plenty of ink. Even more strange, the Service Tag refers to another product (a Vostro computer).

Poorly designed ink hog

Product Uses:home use
Review:Do not buy this printer. I never leave reviews but I always read them. I bought this printer thinking it was an easy, compact all-in-one printer; howerver
1. the box is huge and space-wasting
2. the paper tray doesn't hold much of anything
3. the ink runs through like crazy.
If I had to do it over, I would pay a little more to get a better designed all-in-one.

Only ok for very basic use

Review:The print quality is fine, but it goes through ink like crazy, even on the 'draft' setting. Don't bother buying the regular yield cartridge (= a half full 'high yield' cartridge??), we went through the high yield in two months. Unfortunately, I can't really compare efficiency with my old printer, since Dell keeps it actual page yield carefully secret.
Also, when I tried to print on glossy photo paper, it told me the black ink was not compatible with that and refused to print!
The scanner is definitely handy if you just want to make a quick scan or copy of a letter. However, if you want to do anything more precise, such as scanning a business card, or scanning part of a large image, forget it. The auto-detect setting for size cuts it off arbitrarily, and even putting a white business card on a colored background or telling the scanner to scan a 4x6 area to capture the whole card failed. My old scanner gave a preview and I could choose resolution, area to be scanned, type of original, output, etc.
All in all, very disappointed in this printer, and sorry I fell for the 'package deal' when I bought my computer. I really expected more from Dell, since I bought this based on years of positive experience handling our Dell office computers (but no printers...)

I agree with Joe Price

Review:I agree with Joe. 13 months and recent purchase of new ink ($100+) and the printhead message appears. Although I would like to purchase a different brand, I would be losing what I just spent for ink. So I feel caught and must buy another V313.

So far so good

Review:I purchased this printer at the time I was ordering a new PC desktop because the price was too good to pass up. So far I am happy with the printer and print quality, as well as ease of use. Time will tell if it continues to work as advertised. Also, I have not yet utilized the scanner or copy modes, but I will assume that they should work well.

Printer Review Series V-313

Product Uses:sparingly
Review:Thought that this was a good bargain and it was until the 13th month...One month after Warranty expired so did the printer....The print head went bad and technical support said it could not be fixed...Needless to say I am not happy.....Printer was used sparingly maybe a couple times a week...

STOPPED WORKING

Review:No problem in connecting printing. Used it for one and a half months. Just stopped working. It told me to use maintenance to clean Printhead, I did. That's all it keeps telling and I've done it every time. Will not do anything but use up all my ink. Now I need to purchase more ink. I just did that and it used that all up. I'm pretty peturbed at this point.

Ink drain

Product Uses:basic printing/scanning
Review:I purchased this unit strictly for the scanning feature but decided to also use it as a printer. The reviews do NOT lie, this printer is an ink drain, I think I printed a total of 10 pages of color and half of the ink is gone. Also the paper feed tray does not allow a single sheet to be dropped in and printed. When a single page was attempted the system grabbed the paper awkwardly and jammed so much that the print head could not move. Now when I try to print I get black rectangles all over my print out in the shape of the print heads. Cleaned the print heads several times to no avail. Useless as a printer at this point, so now I'm back to using it as a scanner only. Will be contacting support shortly to get the print issue resolved.

V313 is not a good printer

Product Uses:home business
Review:Difficult to install. Poor wireless newtworking. Ink runs out fast. Dell Ink Management System then lock the printer so you cannot use it. You must order ink on-line form Dell. You cannot buy it from your local office supply or electronics store. Dell does not offer suppoer except during normal business hours.
