Samsung cartridges: initial vs purchased capacities
I bought a Samsung ML-1450 last summer and am delighted with it. Had
the 1710 come out sooner I'd have gotten it because of it's smaller size. (I don't need the speed/capacity of the 1450 but I wanted the resolution.) But my point is that some posts have suggested that roughly $80 for a 3000-page (nominal) cartridge is expensive. But please not that only the cartridge that comes with the printers is for 3000 pages- and that's because Samsung only fills it half full. The cartridges you buy are good for a nominal 6000 pages. Incidentally, if you can still find SIMM's to increase the memory it does help. I got a 32-meg one for about $12 bucks and it was a great addition. I really like the fact that the printer warms up as fast as it does. My one major criticism of this printer is that feeding envelopes into it is a pain in the ass! Dave |

I really like the fact that the printer warms up as fast as it does. I've never been quite clear on what additional memory does for a laser printer. I'm running a 10-year-old Epson laser with 2MB of memory, and it works just fine. What would more memory give me? Thanks! If your printing lots of graphics/ pictures, you can get better resolution, or at least with the HP & Lexmarks I've worked with. Bill Higdon |

Ahhh, ok, I almost never print anything but straight text, so I guess more memory wouldn't mean much. |
