Samsung Printer - ML-3050 review

Sub-£ 100 laser printers are nothing new, but for that money you’d expect fairly basic personal laser. Samsung ML-3050 certainly covers the basics, but also offers one or two extras you might not expect.

At first glance, the Samsung ML-3050 is nothing special: a bucket crushed in two shades of gray with a 250-sheet paper tray sliding off the bottom and a multipurpose folding tray down from the front panel. This is not a single sheet of the tray, however, and can take up to 100 sheets of special media such as envelopes or letterheads. Pages end up in a tray output set at the top of the machine.

Also at the top is the control panel, although there is no LCD display here, only three buttons: one stops a print job, the second in switches saving toner and finally, a little indulgence sales , Is printed a test page. In the rear are both parallel and USB 2 ports, once more unusual in an entry-level printer, but useful if all USB ports are in use.

Physical and configuration software is very simple. Pull down the front cover and single-piece drum and toner cartridge slides in. Load the software driver and you have full control over the printer carrying out their duties. These include support of flag and several pages of print, printing and watermarks and overprints too.

The Samsung ML-3050 is a machine for quick money and saw 16ppm for text and 4ppm for little more than photo prints. While none of these speeds approaching the rating of Samsung 28ppm, real-world rarely make measurements. The speed printing text, in particular, is very reasonable for a printer in this price range.

The printer has a resolution of 1,200, but this is a figure higher and the native resolution is half that. Even so, gave a better picture reproduction of our test to 600dpi that with the improvement of 1,200 lit. In both modes did so by a monkey and laser printing text is particularly crisp and precise.

The printing costs are not bad, with the greatest capacity of 8,000 pages, cartridge production cost of one page of 1.7p. The 4000-page cartridge costs produces a bit more than this. Unfortunately for Samsung, however, the increased capacity cartridge costs around £ 95, even on the Internet prices, slightly more than the printer itself. Never a good idea to have a printer price lower than that of its major consumables.
