Samsung ML 1630 – Keep Your Wallet Heavy
Looks- If you are looking for both style and function the Samsung ML 1630 printer is the ideal investment. The printer wires, screws and general mechanics are contained in highly fashionable, black, double storey slabs instead of your normal boxy, white housing. It’s dimensions are all under 15 inches. A inexpensive piece of art at under US$200.00. The best toner for this printer is the Samsung ML 1630 printer cartridge.
Controls- The printer controls are so easy to operate and understand with only two selection buttons. More style is added to the device by the blue LED screen which shows you pages and print status in words and graphics format.
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 ML 1630 printer toner with 1000 page capacity is included with your purchase. Normal ML 1630 printer toner retail for a heavy US$ 70.00 and have a higher capacity of 2000 pages. Definitely not the most affordable toner on the market. Samsung ML 1630 Printer-sleek, Slim And So Affordable. For more information, check out our site http://www.qtoner.us.
