Several Things About The Samsung CLP 510N Printer’s

If you liked the Samsung CLP 500 or 550 printers you are going to love the Samsung CLP 510N printer. It has all the features that made the previous models favorites in their category, with a few bells and whistles added to it for good measure. The result is a better product with faster capabilities and a better hardware design. The case is nothing to look at but then again it is a printer not a sports car. To be fair, it is amazing what features this printer piles on for only $120, although the quality of the Samsung CLP 510n toner will be no surprise.

There is one thing you need to understand from the start about this printer. It is not designed for home users. The printer is big and a bit more expensive if you are used to printers designed for the casual consumer. For a color laser printer it is actually very affordable.

It is a large printer. The package you will have delivered to your office, or that you pick up from the shop will weigh around 88 pounds. The package comes with four toners (color and mono) and a guide book.

So what’s new in this version of the Samsungs CLP 510n printer? Not much, except higher speed, both in the printing and processing sides of the equation. The older model printed 21 pages a minute, now you can print 25; color printing was at 5 pages a minute while now it is 7. This is a considerable improvement on an already quick printer. A great feature of this printer is its duplexing capabilities. This term refers to the capability of double-sided printing without the user having to do anything. Just tell the printer what you want and it will take care of everything. Previous models required the user to stack the pages, turn them round and reinsert them in the feeder. This capability will save you cash in toner, paper usage and time.

The other big change from the previous models is its chip. The PowerPC processor of previous models has been changed to a Samsung SPGPm processor. However, the previous models could hold nearly twice the amount of RAM and were one decibel quieter. The change in the price tag had to be felt somewhere I guess. It is worth remembering that this printer only costs $120.

The image quality is another selling point for the CLP 510n. It will not print photo perfect pictures, but it comes mighty close and is likely to surpass your expectations in an office printer. This is probably even a good thing if it is your business as there is less of a chance your employees are going to be printing their holiday snapshots on your paper and ink.

The cost of the printer is higher than what many are used to paying for a printer. This is because it is an office printer, and for a color laser printer it is actually cheap. Toner consumables are inexpensive compared to other printers, with color and mono going for around $120 and $100 respectively.

The Samsung CLP 510n is an excellent trade off in price, speed and image quality. If you need a fast, high quality printer at a reasonable price you are going to enjoy this one.

You will enjoy not having to do costly reprints as the Samsung CLP 510N printer toner prints right the first time, surely a standard with Samsung replacement toner.
