Re: Post what you purchased.
Purchased a SAMSUNG Monochrome Laser for my uncle (ML 2010) yesterday.
The details are :
Hardware : SAMSUNG LASER PRINTER ML 2010
Price: 4500 + 4% VAT
Vendor : STARCOMM, Chandni Chowk, Kolkata
Other Products considered: HP 1018, but rejected it as it's an entry level model with low dpi (600X600) but Ml 2010 sports upto (1200X600). Moreover, the lowest offer i got for the HP was 5000 + VAT.
Product Specs: 20ppm, 150 MHz proc, 150 sheet paper tray, toner save button (saves upto 40%), can print on multiple media, weighs only 5.5 kg
dimensions : 14.1'' X 11.8'' X 8.5'' (L X B X H)
Problems,Suggestions & Feedback : Knew the laser was a power hog, but when I opened the box, I was in for another surprise :ML 2010 uses a 15Amps power connector. I was dying to plug it in & have a go, but couldn't see a single 15 Amp socket in the room & decided against using a 5 Amp to 15 converter.
Finally, got an electrician to fix up a 15 Amp socket, plugged in the thing and go laser! The prints were extremely fast, mind-blowing quality and ready to use (absolutely dry).
At 4.5K, this is the best bet if someone is looking for a heavy-duty printer (with low cost per page) & not much of a colour guy..
