The Samsung ML 1510 monochrome printer boasts with excellent overall print quality. Text is clean and crisp and easily legible at even the smallest of character sizing. In terms of larger character printing, outlines are smooth and solid. Shading and contrasting is accurately reproduced, with only slight banding on PDF, mixed content and photo prints. Greyscale images and diagrams have a greater tendency to suffer from banding. However you should really look closely to see these slight flaws. Engine speed reaches up to 14 pages per minute for text, 14 page per minute mixed content and photo printing. Warming-up time of 30-60 seconds is required before first page production.

Sample Samsung ML 1510 Printer Toner is included with your printer purchase. However replacement will soon be required as the starter cartridge has a very limited 1000 sheet print capacity. You should prepare yourself for a massive price shock as full sized Samsung ML Printer Toner Cartridge with a print capacity of 3000 pages will retail for a hefty US$83.00-US$150.00 The printer comes with a terrific toner saving feature, saving you up to 25% toner. The only disadvantage is that prints will be produced at lower resolutions of 300 dpi, so should you require darker reproduction just turn the feature off and resolutions are increased to 600 dpi. The Printer Toner is a real workhorse at a duty cycle of 10 000 prints per month.
