Reasonably priced, quality All-In-One photo printers are hard to come by. Dell is trying hard to create a printer that is not only inexpensive, but also produces quality images. The Dell Photo All-In-One Printer 926 is their latest attempt at that very market.

Features

• All-In-One Design!: Combines USB connected PC printing, scanning and faxing with stand-alone copying in a compact box.
• Fast: Prints up to 20 pages per minute in monochrome and up to 15 pages per minute in color (Actual print speed will vary with use).
• High Quality: Produces high quality photos and documents with print resolution up to 4800 x 1200 dpi

The Dell 926 printer uses three ink cartridges, but only two at a time. The cartridges are: Color, Black and Photo Color. Because you can only use two at a time you will have to swap out cartridges depending on what you are printing. If you are printing text or color documents then you will use the Color and Black Cartridges. If you are printing photos then you will use the Color and Photo Cartridges. The Color cartridge costs $17.99 each, the Black cartridge costs $13.99, and the Photo cartridge costs $25.99. There are also High capacity cartridges that almost double the amount of pages that you can print. The High capacity Color cartridge costs $23.99, and the High capacity Black cartridge costs $18.99. I would recommend the high capacity cartridges because you get almost double the ink for only about $5 more.

While the printer has the ability to send faxes, there is no built-in fax modem. Instead, this printer will use a modem that is in your computer. If your computer does not have a modem then you will not be able to send faxes. If you have a computer with a modem you can use either the computer or the printer to start the faxing process.

The scanner is fairly standard and provides scan resolutions of up to 1200 x 4800 dpi in 48 bit color. The maximum document size that can be scanned on the flatbed scanner is 8.5″ x 11″. Scanning can be started from either the printer or the computer. In order to start scanning from the computer, the printer must be connected directly to the computer with USB.

The copier is very basic. You have a few options to choose from while copying like zooming, lightening or darkening the picture. The copier is able to produce copies at about 1200 x 1200 dpi.
