As for print quality, we were slightly underwhelmed. Black text is sharp and clean, but not as dark as we like. Additionally, the text becomes hard to read at very small point sizes. The black graphics print suffered from the same problem: the areas that should have been jet black were merely very dark, and the print had an overall faded look to it. The color text was only mediocre: at larger point sizes, the text is sharp, but at smaller sizes and with more difficult colors, we saw some blurriness and fuzzy edges. The same problems crop up in the color graphics print. Edges that should be sharply defined are blurry, it showed problems with handling bar-code graphics, and the color gradients showed banding. Additionally, the photo elements on the page were overly red, resulting in ruddy skin tones. We preferred the print quality of the Lexmark C530dn to that of the Dell 3110cn.
