SCX-4300 TONER CARTRIDGE

Samsung SCX-4300 Printer Review

Overview: This printer is classy and will look perfect in your stylish office. It offers fast printing speeds and produces high quality text and decent graphics. However graphics are of questionable quality. The Samsung SCX-4300 is affordable to maintain and is perfect for you office printing, scanning, and copying.

Pros: The control panel is easy to use that has not backlight, but can easily be read with a light on. The display’s menu system is easy to navigate saving your time and frustration. Under the control panel you will find a small pull-out end stop. At the bottom of the front panel you will find a 250-sheet feed tray. It is capable of printing pages of just text at a clip of 10 pages per minute. Printing pages with text and graphics leaves you with a print speed of around 12 pages per minute. These are not the best speeds, but fast when you consider the price of this printer that sells for under $200. The SCX-4300 is durable and doesn’t jam. Many printers have problems jamming and it is nice to own a printer that almost never jams. Plus paper easily feeds into the machine without being a problem for users. Overall print quality is decent, despite the machine having a maximum resolution of 600 dpi. There are signs of jagged diagonals and curves in text.

Cons: The Samsung SCX-4300 lacks quality when printing grayscale graphics. This is seen most clearly when printing photos. They have a course print matrix. Photos with this printer also have micro-banding and details are weak in darker, shadowed areas. Grayscales are the worst and are terrible. It almost looks like they went through the washing machine. Anyone looking to print graphics should consider other printers on the market.
