Color Laser 3100
The Dell 3100 is the workgroup color laser of its generation: network-ready, expandable paper handling up to 900 sheets, and a robust 45,000-page monthly duty cycle. Offices that standardized on it got a dependable shared color printer that handled everything from everyday documents to presentation materials.
Keeping a veteran workhorse like this running economically is all about the toner. The four-cartridge family is widely available in both genuine OEM and compatible versions — and the compatible sets deliver the same page yields for substantially less, which is exactly what a long-serving office printer deserves.

Where do jams usually happen in the 3100?
After clearing a jam on the 3100, close every cover firmly and check that no torn corner is left inside — repeat jams almost always mean a scrap was missed. If jams continue with fresh paper, the pickup rollers may need cleaning.

Your actual cost per page depends on what you print.
