I'm in love.

Let's start off by saying this printer is HOT. I told a co-worker that if the 3110cn were a girl, I'd ask it out. She says, "It can be a girl. Call her Della."

I discovered that Della is a very hungry little girl and uses plenty of power. When I first plugged her in, she used enough power to knock out my accounting server.

I was a little disappointed when I printed my first test page, but I soon realized that the issues I was seeing were because I was using low quality paper. I bought some 32lb glossy laser paper and tried it out and the results were absolutely awesome. (It wasn't even that expensive at $0.05/sheet.)

I had some DVD trap sheets that I'd printed on a very expensive commercial Xerox copier and printed the same trap sheets with Della to compare. I was pleased to discover that blacks were blacker with Della. I did notice Della's image to be very slightly pixelated, but I could only tell this at four inches or closer.

I tried out all of the various options for image enhancement, but found that the finished product looked best with image enhancement turned off. The colours were near identical to my monitor.

All in all, a great printer. And you can't go wrong for $30 + toner.

I asked Della out. She didn't answer. She must be playing hard to get.
