| valeriet's Full Review: Samsung ML1740 Laser Printer |
I purchased my Samsung ML-1740 from Bestbuy, where I received a $50 rebate. So I only spent $100 for a black-and-white laser printer, and I'm very satisfied. I am a Ph.D. student writing my dissertation, so I use lots of paper and rarely need color ink. This was a practical purchase and I believe the laser cartridge will last much longer than the ink cartridges I had to buy with my HP deskjet.
One drawback is that the printer seems to use a lot of energy compared to my other electronic devices, so when it's printing, warming up or cooling down, my desk lamp light flickers a bit! But this goes away completely as soon as the Samsung is finished printing a document.
I also find that the "Toner Save" button saves quite a bit of ink and is perfect for drafts of writing.
Hint: buy "remanufactured" laser ink cartridges (available on many internet sites) to save about 1/3 off the price
of new cartridges. They're supposed to be just as good quality, and better for the environment.
For the money you can't go wrong.
