How do I change the printer layout on a dell 1320c color laser printer?
I am making business cards and there are 8 per page, but I need to change it to 10 per page for my pre-perforated paper. I am using a dell 1320c color laser printer, can anyone help me please!
All fixes for that is in your software! if you don´t have the 10 per page option in there u have to get a new/extra software to handle it or use the one you have and get the pre perforated papers that match ur software! There is a lot of free business card programs out there! check the box were ur papers came from maybe the have free tips on fitting software on it?
i hope it helps
Guide to Toner Cartridges
Although laser printers generally cost more than inkjets, their toner cartridges last much longer and provide you with higher quality output. In other words, the initial cost of laser toner cartridges may seem rather high, but so is the yield. Typically, you’ll be able to print thousands of pages with a single toner cartridge. Overall, laser printers deliver a lower cost per page.
For starters, inkjets use small dots of ink to create output, whereas laser printers use toner to produce text. Plus, toner cartridges last longer than inkjet cartridges, which eventually bring down overall printing costs. For these very reasons, laser printers are more popular in larger office settings.
The process used in laser printing is very similar to that of photocopying, which involves a dry powdery substance. Once the drum deposits the powder onto a piece of paper, the fuser uses heat and pressure to melt the powder to the paper. This usually results in sharp, crisp, high-quality text. Unlike the liquid ink in inkjet cartridges, the dry powder doesn’t dry up if unused for long period of time.
The speed at which laser printers operate can vary greatly. However, they are almost always faster than inkjets. You’ll also have the choice of printing in color or solely black and white text. Keep in mind, though, that color cartridges tend to cost a bit more than monochrome.
Pay attention to the expiration date and warranty period before you make a purchase. If you’re not satisfied with the quality of your cartridge, a longer warranty period allows you to return the product at a later date.
You can save money by purchasing a remanufactured or compatible refill kit from a separate company. By reusing components, remanufactured cartridges help save valuable resources and decrease user-generated waste. Also, several companies offer recycling programs for their used cartridges, which help reduce the environmental impact of these discarded products. These inexpensive alternatives are a great solution to saving money on printer supplies.
Without a doubt, some of the best deals on toner cartridges can be found online. For low prices on high-quality cartridges, check out Superwarehouse.com

Will Avery 8891 DVD Case Inserts work with a color laser printer?
The package says "Ink Jet" on it and they don’t offer DVD Case Inserts for Laser Printers. I’m not going back to inkjet. I can’t. I won’t! Ink is too expensive! Would these work on a laser printer or would they melt or get jammed or something??
Not sure how they’d work. I’d have to see them to evaluate if they could be used in a laser OK. But don’t know how well they’d accept the toner or how they’d react to the fusing process off-hand. I wouldn’t recommend it as it could cause a problem since they are rated inkjet, but they may be rated that way just because they’re designed to accept ink better than toner. Doubt that they’d melt, they might jam, but that’s not that serious, but they might not take the toner too well. You might try finding laser compatible labels instead to be safe.
Best of luck.
What is the difference between a Digital color printer and a color laser printer ?
Based on my searching on the web, here is what I found!
If you view it from a marketing (or sales) point of view, there is not much difference in both terms as both can mean laser printers aside from the fact that the "Digital Color Printer" designation also might be an inkjet printer, an advanced color photocopier or a Dye-Sublimation printer.
But let’s look at it purely from a technical point of view!
The printer with a designation of "Color Laser Printer" means that a laser 
is used to burn text and image on four (4) drums (one each for Yellow, Cyan, Magenta and black) which then pass through the appropriate colored powder (AKA Toner) and finally, transfer these "powders" to the paper resulting in a complete color page (Brochure, magazine, ETC).
The printer with a designation of "Digital Color Printer" uses the same principle but instead of a laser, the printer uses LEDs (Light-emitting diodes). Okidata printers are (or were) famous for using this technique.
N.B.: In printing, Cyan (AKA Light Blue) replaces Blue and Magenta (AKA Fuchsia) replaces Red.
Is there any card stock that will work in a Minolta-Konica 2400W color laser printer?
I want to print business cards on my Minolta-Konica 2400W color laser printer but can’t seem to find any card stock (the precut kind) that works with my printer. I’m looking for any brands of card stock people have had success with.
there is some 24# card stock flexible enough to work, check with your closest printing shop for samples
When buying a color laser printer, do I need to buy a set of cartridge toner too ?
I was told by a salesman that the cartridges that come with it are the starter set, which do not last long.
A couple years ago, I bought a refurbished color laser printer from HP, and the toner cartridges came with it lasted for 4,5 years at home use. This printer stopped working right, so I need a new one.
many lasers come with half-full starter cartridges but for some people that can still be plenty. our samsung clp-300 and Ricoh CL-1000N lasted over a year with constant use before we had to replace the black. In any case, you have time to check the net for cheaper compatible cartridges. The savings are incredible and I have found no difference in print quality.

You may also want to look into Consumer Reports…the last time they reviewed all-in-one printers was in their November 2009 issue (they also did a review on a wide spectrum of printers in their December 2009 issue). They also publish a yearly "Electronics Buying Guide" which includes printers. Both of these (the magazine and the Electronics Buying Guide) should be available at your local public library.
Or, for $5.95/month (auto-renewing, but you can cancel at any time), you can subscribe to their online version, which offers a full ratings/report on many types of printers (examples/links below):
