Unpacked (new, no signs of use), assembled, erected - watch out! From the size a bit smaller than the Canon PIXMA iP3600 from Stadfläche.
The Samsung printer software could be installed well, missing components I have reloaded. So far so good.
Print quality:
I always remember that it is to a color laser printer in the entry-level class for 99 - is.
Nevertheless: PHENOMENAL !!!
Black and White printing (text) were already class primitive 80g paper. Because of my Samsung Canon beat by a mile!
Glossy paper is loaded with 80g and printed text. Quantum leap! Very sharp and clear print image!
Then inserted glossy 100g paper and some photos printed. Impressive. Better it was my Canon does not. Only with the decisive advantage that the expression could not smudge.
By default, the images were already really good, but with a little tweaking in software printouts from test to test were better. Colors were already close to the original, the details of a high-resolution photos with long exposure were easily recognizable. From the so often read weakness in Photo Print I have now seen much. For me (with claim) of photo expression was at least on par with a good inkjet printer on 100g paper.
Since I have no genuine photo paper for laser printers, I could not test such an expression, but if the printouts to high-quality plain paper (daunter one specifically for color printouts for color laser printers) is so good, then I'm really excited about the quality of color laser photo paper ,
I printed now 10 photos in A4 size, at least 20 pages black and white prints and some Excel graphics to sample. The cartridge "black" is 87%, "cyan" 93%, "magenta" 92% and "yellow" 89% of. I always printed in "best" mode. Bearing in mind that the "starter cartridge", the toner consumption is fine.
Conclusion:
For color laser beginners safely recommended. Although the calculated costs per page are highly acc. Various tests, but I did not have to buy a complete set of ink cartridges for about 50 every six months, only because I was so little prints in (
