Samsung ML-1710 Printer Review
Home users and small office users need a machine that is compact and affordable, and the Samsung ML-1710 laser printer delivers on both fronts. It has the fast speeds and excellent text quality one would expect, at a price one would expect from an inkjet unit, with the benefit of saving on printer toner with affordable Samsung ML-1710 toner cartridges.
The most endearing feature for most buyers with small office spaces will be its space-saving design. It is incredibly compact for a printer with such great performance, measuring 7.6 inches by 13.7 inches by 14 inches and weighing only 15.4 pounds. The ML-1710 doesn't sacrifice paper capacity either, as its main tray holds 250 sheets. It supports a wide variety of media types, and thicker media can be fed through its manual bypass slot. There is no control panel to speak of, only a simple cancel button. The software handles all features and functions very well, however, so there is no real need for a control panel. The unit is also referred to as the ML-1710D, ML-1710P and ML-1710B, but all refer to the same model for different countries.
Print speed is fast, at up to 17 pages per minute, which is very impressive for such a low price. The unit can be connected via USB and supports Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
The cost of replacing toners is much more economical than comparable inkjet models, as Samsung ML-1710 toner cartridges are very affordable. Using third-party compatible Samsung ML-1710 toner will bring costs down even lower, and the large capacity of Samsung ML-1710 toner cartridges gives users a very low cost per page.
The Samsung ML-1710 is a very affordable and efficient machine that will make an excellent first printer for almost any user. Its speed and print quality, large paper capacity and low toner costs add up to an excellent value, and its compact size is a perfect fit for the home office.
