Toner Cartridges for the Samsung CLX-6260FW

Samsung CLX-6260FW Printer Review

The Samsung CLX-6260FW is a multifunction color laser printer with just about every feature users could want. It can print, scan, copy, and fax, and also feature duplexing and wireless support. Its price is a little high upfront, however, and toners can be expensive to replace.

For a device aimed at small and medium office environments, the CLX-6260FW has a deep feature set. It is part of a series that includes the CLX-6260, CLX-6260FD, and CLX-6260FR models. Some of the common features between the models are the fast printing speed of up to 25 pages per minute, and the sharp 1200x1200 dpi resolution that makes for detailed output quality. Each model also uses the same Samsung CLX-6260FW printer toner design.

The standard input paper capacity of 250 sheets might seem a little small considering the price, though it can be expanded to a maximum of 820 sheets if necessary. The automatic document feeder has a capacity of 50 sheets, which makes scanning, copying, and faxing of long, multi-page documents much quicker. The first page out time of 17 seconds is a little on the slow side, but once the machine gets up to its maximum speed, it can increase productivity.

Reviewers were mainly positive about the unit, but mentioned the potentially high cost of Samsung CLX-6260FW toner cartridges. With a fairly steep price and a yield of only 3,500 pages, even for the high-capacity versions, Samsung CLX-6260FW toner cartridges are far from being the most cost-effective in its class.

Small office buyers looking to cover as many bases as possible with one machine will find the CLX-6260FW's feature set impressive. Its output quality is top notch, and its speeds are solid, but watch out for the cost of Samsung CLX-6260FW toner over the long run.
