Samsung ML-2580 Toner Cartridges

Samsung ML-2580 Printer Review

The Samsung ML-2580 is a laser printer that is best fit to support small workgroups due to its basic design and business-oriented features. While the device is rated to print at a maximum speed of 24 pages per minute, experts tests revealed much slower rates that will still outperform many in its price range. Experts further noted this device benefits from a satisfactory output quality, a decent bundle of features and an inexpensive price tag, making it good overall bargain.

The unit's ample connectivity is one of its more impressive features, including an ethernet interface so one can share documents with other users over their network, as well as a standard USB port. The inclusion of a universal print driver is also a convenience that will allow users to print to almost any device without having to worry about installing multiple drivers.

The unit's on-board control features are fairly limited, including only a handful of keys for operations like job cancel and a Screen Print button that will automatically print what is displayed on a PC screen. The front panel further includes LEDs that will alert users when there is a printing error like a paper jam and when toners are running low. The ML-2580's paper handling is fairly minimal and includes only a single front input tray that can store a maximum of 250 pages.

With its enhancement technology, this machine can print a text document with sharp characters that are easy to read with a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi using black Samsung ML-2580 printer toner. Expert tests also revealed the ML-2580 can print grayscale graphics with sharp quality that helps make up for its inability to print color projects.

The device prints with a single black Samsung ML-2580 toner cartridge that has a standard yield of approximately 1,500 pages. Those looking to increase their printing volumes can opt to purchase high-capacity Samsung ML-2580 toner cartridges that can last a maximum of up to 2,500 pages.

Expert reviews have mostly good remarks about the ML-2580, from its affordable price and quick speeds to its professional output. While it could offer more features on its control panel and expanded media handling, this monochrome printer is still a good solution for low-volume workgroups.
