The Capabilities Of The Samsung CLP 510N Printer

The Samsung CLP 510n printer using Samsung CLP 510n toner is yet another winner for Samsung’s series of color laser prints. It follows in the footsteps of CLP-510s, but with extra speed, a faster processor and some minor hardware changes that have created an improved product.  

Make no mistake that this printer is aimed at business. Probably for small to medium business that do not want to have to walk down to the printer shop every time a brochure needs to be made. As long as you are not expecting perfect photo quality you will love this beast.

Because a beast it is. To give you an idea, the box it comes in weighs around 88 pounds.  It comes with four toners, basic cables and a manual.

The improvements Samsung has made to this printer are easy to see, mainly in the speed department. The previous CLP-550s were working at 21 pages per minute in black and white and five pages per minute in color. The latest Samsung CLP-510n printer has increased this speed to 25 pages per minute for black and white and seven pages per minute in color. The duplexing speed has also dropped by two or three seconds to 13 seconds for mono and 21 seconds in full color. Duplexing, in case you are wondering, is the ability of double-sided printing, which is great if you want to save time, toner and paper.

Another improvement is the processing power. The newer printer has changed its processor from a Power PC to their proprietary Samsung SPGPm chip. It is true that previous models like the 550s can hold over double the RAM memory, however you will not feel the difference, and if you do, you can always buy an upgrade.

Image resolution is very good, however, this is not a photo lab printer and your pictures will not look exactly like photographs.  Don‘t worry though, they are more than adequate to put on your fridge and share with friends.

The only issue clients might have is the price, as it is pricier than many of us expect to pay. However, for a color printer it is actually cheap and cartridge maintenance is surprisingly affordable. You can expect to pay around one hundred dollars for mono cartridges and one hundred and twenty dollars for color cartridges.

The Samsung CLP 510n is an excellent trade off in price, speed and image quality. If you need a fast, high quality printer at a reasonable price you are going to enjoy this one.

Everything else printed is perfect, however, largely due to the Samsung CLP 510N toner used by this machine.  Samsung Laser Toner always tops the charts in performance.  Great cartridges shows on the printed page and that is a large part of the face of your business.
