Savin CLP27DN Toner Cartridges

Savin CLP27DN Printer Review

With the Savin CLP27DN color laser printer, even smaller offices can benefit from the excellent HotSpot feature that has previously only been available in larger machines. With duplexing and networking built right in, it also offers speeds of up to 26 pages per minute. Savin CLP27DN printer toner can be a bit pricey, but numerous expansion options give it great flexibility.

Savin tends to highlight its HotSpot feature, and for good reason. This technology allows printing from just about any computer or mobile device without the hassle of incompatibilities. Mobile users can download a specific app for their device to enable easy printing, and other devices can simply visit a URL to send their documents to the printer. Prints can even be locked with a code that must be entered into the keypad for extra security, or simply to delay printing until a more convenient time.

A look at the standard configuration of the CLP27DN is impressive, with a paper capacity of 650 sheets total, a 40 GB hard drive for storage, and 512 MB of RAM. What is equally impressive are the number of ways it can grow with optional upgrades. Paper capacity can expand to a maximum of 1,750 sheets with the addition of one or two 550-sheet trays, and wireless support can be added with an optional module for easier access without the extra cables. Unfortunately, additional memory cannot be added.

Users shouldn't expect to replace toners too often, as Savin CLP27DN toner cartridges each have a capacity of around 15,000 pages. Unfortunately, the cost of replacement Savin CLP27DN toner cartridges is quite high, especially compared to its competition, which could be a major factor for offices on a tight budget.

Overall, the extra flexibility afforded by the HotSpot feature is reason enough to recommend the Savin CLP27DN, particularly for an office with a lot of mobile devices. Speeds are fast and print quality is impressive, but high running costs might be too much to handle for some buyers.
