"Great value, good features"
Pros: Out-of-box duplexing, low cost, network included, wireless networking available (additional cost)
Cons: Toner cart: 1/2 full on new printer and new set cost is over $450 - but that is for over 7000 sheetes, accdg to Samsung
Summary: I was surprised that the printer did not include "full" toner cartriges. The first replacement set was needed after 3 months of use, and we expect to have to replace then about every 7-9 months with new toner units. Color toner run $115-120 (each color) and the black toner is less ($75-85). On the PRO side, my local toner refill company already stocks Samsung refilled cartriges (toner from the manufacturer and they are also certified to rebuild the toner cartriges). <<ASK your toner refill company to get the supplies... they are readily available!!>>
The quality for the printer is good, and the color neede a bit of tweaking for correct rendition, but all in all- this printer is a LOT, LOT cheaper than an ink-jet, with good quality.
A great choice for any office that distributes color flyers and material - the auto-duplex feature and optional 2nd paper tray make this a great deal for most companies.
To improve this printer, Samsung need to get the color match a bit closer and have the toner available at a cost of under $100 per cartrige for the color units. I can get the color carts. refilled for less than $60 each locally (in the Kansas City metro area).
Overall, a fine printer with a lot of features.
