Samsung ML-2545 Toner Cartridges

Samsung ML-2545 Printer Review

The Samsung ML-2545 is a single-function personal laser printer that has a standard range of features and an affordable price tag compared to similar devices. The unit has an adequate maximum print speed of 24 pages per minute, but expert tests reveal average speeds to be on the slower end of models in its class. The ML-2545 is a basic personal device that will produce satisfactory in-house projects, but lacks many distinguishing features.

The machine's most notable feature is its Print Screen button, which is accessible from the front control panel and will allow users to print documents displayed on their PC screen quickly. It also includes AnyWeb Print software, where users can drag and select web pages onto an onscreen scrap board to be organized and printed. For monochrome graphics and text projects, the unit can create a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using black Samsung ML-2545 printer toner. Reviews note that while text is not quite up to par, graphics finish with fine detail and accurate grayscale quality.

The device has a small, compact size of 14x15x7 inches that makes it a good fit for personal desktop use. It comes with a 250-sheet cassette and a single-sheet manual tray that support media like labels, bond, cardstock, transparencies and plain paper. The device has a manual duplex print option that can reduce the amount of paper used by making double-sided prints, but requires more work from the user. Built-in connectivity is limited to a single USB port.

The manufacturer provides a 1,000-page starter black Samsung ML-2545 toner cartridge. Users have replacement options for either standard 1,500-sheet toners or high-capacity supplies that can yield up to 2,500 pages. Users can also choose between inexpensive compatible Samsung ML-2545 toner cartridges and genuine OEM versions.

The ML-2545 is a simple monochrome printer that is among the less impressive in its class with slower speeds and spotty text output. For a quality personal printer, it benefits from low running costs and a compact size, but users can find better units for their money.
