Rated at 5,000 pages per month, the 1100 is considered a very durable desktop laser printer. Anyone printing to its full capacity should consider upgrading to a business class laser machine.

Output Quality:

Quality of the 1100 prints is better than expected. Text prints showed sharp edges. Images and graphics were very legible.

Given the low cost of the printer and other high points, this is something that owners will be able to live with.
