First off, the Dell V505w All-in-One gets props for being one of the more socially-conscious printers on the market with its (PRODUCT) RED™ designation, which means part of the proceeds from each purchase will go toward treating AIDS in Africa. But the 4-function Dell V505w is more than just a global humanitarian - it copies, scans, and faxes documents, and it prints at 27 ppm in color, 31 in black. Note that while the $224 Dell V505w features Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, you can get the non-network V505 for $174. Both printers use the same ink.
Besides the basics, the Dell V505w features PC-free photo printing via PictBridge and memory card, auto-duplexing to save you paper, and a 25 page auto document feeder (ADF) that helps automate multi-page scan, copy and fax jobs. Photo enthusiasts probably won’t appreciate the lack of a colorful LCD preview screen, but the text-based display should feel pretty familiar to small office employees. Overall, think of the Dell V505w as an office-centric printer with the ability to do some extracurricular photo printing on the side.
