Samsung


We’ve just added two new toner cartridges for a few different series of Samsung laser printers.

The toner cartridges are:

Samsung MLT-D105L Toner Cartridge, High Yield

Samsung MLT-D105S Black Toner Cartridge

The high yield version of this cartridge yields 2,500 pages, the standard cartridge yields 1,500 pages. My advice would be to spend the extra dollars to get the high yield cartridge. It has a price per page cost of 3 cents. The standard yield cartridge will cost  you 4.6 cents per page.

These two cartridges work in the following Samsung laser printers.

Samsung ML-2525W
Samsung ML-1910
Samsung ML-1915
Samsung ML-2525
Samsung SCX-4600
Samsung SCX-4623F
Samsung SCX-4623FW
Samsung SF-650
Samsung SF-650P

Have you used these cartridges or printers? If so, let me know about your experience with them. Thanks!

The Samsung ML-2525W is simple by nature: it only prints black, but offers the advantages of manual double-sided printing, a single-sheet tray, and wireless networking. For all that, its biggest boon for home offices, students, and small businesses (especially in this post-recession economy) is its $150 price tag, making it one of the cheapest laser printers we’ve tested to date. We have no issue recommending the ML-2525W based on its capability to churn out near-flawless prints in record time for a great price.  (Source: CNET)

This printer uses the High yield (2,500 pages) Samsung ML-D105L toner cartridge and the standard yield (1,500 pages) Samsung MLT-D105S toner cartridge.

If you own this printer, let me know what you think about it. Thanks!

The good: Cheap; prints high-quality text and graphics-heavy documents; USB, wireless and Ethernet connectivity; small footprint.

The bad: Lacks autoduplexing; ships with starter toner cartridge.

The bottom line: The Samsung ML-2525W monochrome laser printer doesn’t pack in extra features, but delivers worthwhile improvements over previous generations in output speed and quality. We highly recommend this wireless workhorse if you refuse to sacrifice quality for affordability. (Read the full CNET review)

A positive comment from Amazon.com:

Great wireless laser printer: small, quiet, and great quality prints

I bought this printer a few weeks back. So, my review can only attest to the initial quality and operation of the printer. When shopping for a printer, I wanted a small, wireless (i.e. WiFi enabled), laser printer that I could use on my home wireless network. This printer fits the bill.

Once I received the printer, setup was incredibly easy. You just hook the USB cable to your computer, follow the software prompts, and then the printer is suddenly connected to the WiFi network. That is the last time I used the cable. Now, when I hit print on my laptop, it prints wirelessly.

I also like that the printer is relatively quick (24 ppm) and prints clean, crisp laser prints quickly. For $99, this is great deal and I’m pleased with the purchase.

I’d recommend buying this laser printer over the all-in-one units. While those all encompassing units may be tempting, I think you end up with a better deal by buying this Samsung printer and then buying a high-quality scanner as a separate item. For instance, I bought a separate Fujitsu Scansnap scanner (also, a very compact item). It scans so much better than the scanner I have on the all-in-one that I bought a couple years ago.

A negative comment from Amazon.com:

Do not buy if you have a Mac!!

I have tried and failed to install this on a new Imac. I cannot believe the appalling support by Samsung. The installation disc they supply simply does not work and it is not as though they have not had this feedback from other customers – see other feed back on this thread. I am pretty computer literate and simply gave up after many wasted hours. A visit to their website to get support is laughable, it takes you through an installation process under the heading of this printer and talks you through setting up scanning software! Unless you are an advanced user i would really avoid this printer. I have returned it for a re-fund it is just a shame they cannot re- fund my time! (Read all Amazon.com user reviews)

The Samsung ML-2010 is available for $50 (with free shipping) from Staples after a $50 rebate and a $30 coupon. This printer normally retails for $130, so even if you hate mail-in rebates and only want to use the coupon, you will still be getting a good printer for around $100.

The ML-2010 is a high-quality machine that is fast and produces good text results. It is a lean, mean machine (the first page supposedly comes out in 10 seconds) that doesn’t mess around with a lot of additional features. It is meant for a single user who doesn’t really need a fancy inkjet and just wants something for printing documents. For $50 you aren’t going to find a better machine, so if you run a home office or are a parent with lots of daily homeworks assignments to print, this would be a good machine.

The offer expires on 5/13.

After you take advanatage of if, you can find the ML-2010D3 cartridge on our site.

The Samsung ML-2010 laser printer is available for $80 plus shipping from Best Buy. The normal price is $129.99, so even if you have to pay shipping, it is still a big discount. If you don’t want to pay for shipping, you can always order it online and pick it up at your local Best Buy. Also, the savings is instant so you don’t have to enter any coupon code or fill out any annoying rebate forms. The sale ends on 4/22.

The ML-2010 is a high-quality machine that is fast and produces good text results. It was already one of the better bargains on the market, but this sale (at least temporarily) makes it the best bargain for a personal monochrome laser printer. Its lack of additional features and small (150-sheet capacity) may be cause for concern for some users, but since this machine isn’t meant for professional use those shortcomings are understandable.
