I’ve been using an inkjet printer for a long time. It was not without disagreements, though. You see, my daughter’s school projects and reports would often require her to do printouts. During busy school nights, these black and white printouts can reach up to 20-30 pages. Unfortunately, half of them get thrown out due to errors. I try not being critical on how much toner shes using, but sometimes it’s just inevitable. What is more bothersome is that its costing me a lot to change the Samsung printer toners. Luckily, a friend introduced the Samsung printer.

I couldn’t help being skeptical about the printer. One reason is that it cost more than my inkjet printer at $380. Another reason is that it’s not capable of printing color. It wasn’t long, however, before I began to appreciate its great features. The printer’s boxy shape gives it a sturdy appearance. This accommodates both stability and function. Below the printer is a paper tray where you can conveniently store paper. I was glad it there were no paper tray extensions that I might break.

The USB port connection was easy enough to figure out as I only needed to plug in the cable. I’m not computer savvy, so I was glad they included an installation manual in the package. I was also glad the printer is compatible with my Windows XP. It’s actually one of the things I didn’t consider when I bought the machine.

In order to put my curiosity at bay, I conducted a little test. I created a document with the words “new printer” on it and set it up to size 10 font. I know the font was small, but I reasoned that if the output was good then so is the printer. Also, I did not want to use so much ink on just a test. Indeed, my new printer delivered 15 printouts in a minute.

I’m not too sure what the “dots per inch” means in the resolution of a printer. The Samsung printer has 600 dpi, which is probably responsible for the quality printouts. All of the characters looked sharp despite the very small font size. To top it off, there were no blotches, for a neat finish. It is perfect for my daughter’s reports.

“Toner save” is the best feature. It gives me an option to save 40% on toner usage. My daughter and I use this all the time since even when reduced to 50%, the quality is still good. It is the perfect way to save on toner.

Sure, the Samsung printer doesn’t print in color, but it’s rare that I would find the need for it. The printer is efficient, convenient and economical in the use of toner. These are basically every quality I need in a printer. The Samsung ML 1440 printer has made a good and lasting impression on my family.

When I needed to replace the ML 1440 printer toner cartridges, my first thought was to search online for Samsung printer toner cartridge. Wow! So many quality sites and the prices for compatible laser toner were fantastic!
