Toner Cartridges for the Samsung ML-2165W

Samsung ML-2165W Printer Review

The Samsung ML-2165, as well as the ML-2165W model with wireless support, can produce documents on A4 paper at a maximum rate of 20 pages per minute and those on letter at a speed of 21 pages per minute. These speeds are moderately fast for a home laser printer. It has a fair and affordable retail price, although expensive toners contribute to higher running expenses. For the low upfront price, though, users are provided a single-function monochrome unit that can handle the volume of home offices.

Features that designate it for personal use include its ability to print a maximum of 10,000 pages per month, as well as the provision of only a 150-sheet input tray and 10-page multipurpose tray. While some may be disappointed by the lack of media handling, it does allow for the unit's very compact size of 13x8x7 inches that makes it one of the smallest desktop machines in its class.

The printer doesn't sacrifice quality, despite its compact design, creating monochrome projects with a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using Samsung ML-2165 printer toner. Expert reviews are positive for text documents, citing its ability to produce crisp and dark lines. Graphics aren't quite on the level of quality as text, but will suffice for simple projects.

One negative to this printer is its minimal replacement options for expired Samsung ML-2165 toner cartridges, since the manufacturer doesn't produce a high-capacity supply. Its only standard Samsung ML-2165 toner cartridge can last around 1,200 pages, though the manufacturer provides a starter 700-page supply.

Despite a simplistic set up, the ML-2165 has the speeds and small footprint to make it a handy monochrome printer to have around the house. Although users could shop around and find a similar device with less expensive running costs, it provides a good balance of speed and quality for the price.
