Samsung ML 1630 – The Cost Friendly And Trustworthy Printer

Appearance- The Samsung ML 1630 printer is the most stylish printer on the market, without a doubt. The printer mechanics are housed in modern, glossy black finish cases, resembling double-storey slabs. It weighs in at a very compact 13x 14.7 and an incredibly 4.8 inches. Great value at under US$200.00. The best toner for this printer is the Samsung ML 1630 printer cartridge.

Control Panel- If you are a little technologically challenged, you are in luck as the designers at Samsung have come up with a wonderful easy control panel with only two buttons and a LED screen for showing print status, options and other information in pictures and words.

Print Quality- Text, picture and graphic printing is slightly above average at 600×1200 resolutions. In terms of text printing you will not find more perfect printing, with blemish and blur-free outlines, even with almost microscopic font size, gray scale or web printing. Graphics and picture printing on the other hand you may encounter a bit of dithering and banding. However if you take into consideration that the printer is only a small office or home printer the quality is still very good. If immaculate graphics and photo printing is required rather invest in a colour printer.

Paper Type and Size- The greatest disadvantage the printer is it’s very low paper capacity of 100 sheet input and a mere 30 sheet output. Avoid the printer totally if you get bored quickly or are a little slack when it comes to paper loading. On the other hand the duty cycle of the printer is an above average 5000 pages. The printer accepts most of the media sizes including A4, A5, A6, Letter, Executive and B5. When it comes to paper types this little gadget can be a little fussy, rejecting thick media including envelopes and some cards. Other paper types accepted are plain, bond, recycle and label. The printers’ speed is not to shabby at 17 ppm text and 6 ppm graphics printing. However when compared to printers in the same price range it comes in last. A very big pro to the printer is its no-need for warming-up. It goes from start-up to first page print in under 7 seconds, no more waiting for 20 plus for warm-ups.

Interface supported- A super fast USB2.0 interface comes standard with the printer for easy connection to your computer or camera. Please note that USB cable is not included, so order yours well in advance to avoid immediate operation delay disappointment.

Memory info- 8 Mb’s memory is included with your printer investment. Unfortunately you are not able to add more memory modules for networking or large print environment purposes.

Operators supported- The printer is compatible with all your well known operators such as Windows, Linux and Apple Macintosh.

Guarantee- A twelve month guarantee comes standard with your printer investment. However you should keep in mind that the guarantee is very restricted in terms of parts and labour. Repairs and service should only be conducted by approved Samsung dealers as it can impact your guarantee with the possibility of rendering it void.

Toner- A Samsung ML 1630 printer toner with thousand page capacity comes standard with your printer as part of a start-up deal. The normal retail price of a ML 1630 printer cartridge is a hefty US$ 70.00. However you should keep in mind that print capacity on your normal replacement toner cartridge is 2000 pages.
