What They're Saying About: The Samsung ML-2010 Laser Printer

If you need the durability and speed of a monochrome laser printer for a reasonable price, you might want to consider the Samsung ML-2010. Reviewers were impressed with the speed and output quality (although at least one complained about the graphics quality). However, they felt that the 150-sheet input tray was inadequate, even for a home laser system.

In Short: The Samsung ML-2010 markedly improves on its predecessor but remains a personal laser rather than a serious business printer.

PC Magazine Review

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Liked: Strong on performance and output quality, with graphics quality at the high end of the range for inexpensive monochrome lasers. Small size.

Disliked: Low paper capacity, at 150 sheets.

In Short: The Samsung ML-2010 is a personal monochrome laser that delivers high-quality output and good speed for the price. But the 150-sheet input capacity can turn refilling paper into an annoying chore even if you print as few as 50 pages on an average day.

PC World Review

Rating: N/A

Liked: The closely spaced bold font that has posed problems for so many printers appeared crisp and distinct. Line art came out sharp and precise, with just a little narrow horizontal banding in blocks of close parallel lines. The ML-2010's print of our grayscale photo was a pleasant change from the output of other printers we've tested recently.

Disliked: Doesn't have a straight-through paper path to protect envelopes from creasing, nor is it upgradable with extra paper trays. The lines of the text printed on the ML-2010 looked thinner and less substantial than usual

In Short: The affordably priced Samsung ML-2010 looks attractive and delivers adequate print quality for most small-office tasks.
