The Samsung CLX-2160 is the world’s smallest multi function colour laser printer and offers colour laser printer with built in scanning and photocopying to the home and small business user. Consumables for the printer consists of four Samsung SCX-2160 toner cartridges which produce 2,000 pages for black and 1,000 for each colour, an imaging drum unit, which lasts for 20,000 pages and a waste toner bottle which needs changing every 5,000 pages or so. In terms of cost per page the Samsung toner cartridges work out to be 1.8p per page for black and 8.7p for colour but this can be reduced by using remanufactured printer cartridges. The Samsung CLX-2160 looks like a very nice bit of kit on first impression but when you start to look in a little more details you start to see why it’s a budget printer, the paper tray for starters only holds 150 sheets and makes changing paper a regular chore. The operating noise is low and it starts reliable with paper jams being a rare occurrence. Print speed varies depending on what you are printing black printing speed in good with a arte of 16ppm (pages per minutes) but colour is less impressive at 4ppm. The real weakness of the CLX-2160 however is its colour printing quality is fussy and lacks the vivid colour tone that you expect from a laser printer. Black printing quality is fine, text printing in particular is very good as with the speed. As a result the Samsung CLX-2160 this a very average in terms of printing performance but still good value for money as it is almost half the price of any other all-in-one colour laser printer,
