Color Laser Printers on Test: Samsung Xpress C1810W

With this model variant, Samsung is also putting pressure on the proximity sensors of the NFC technology in the entry class. The printer and compatible device recognize themselves at short distances, quickly match their data and are connected to each other. Print preparation and release are then carried out via the mobile device. For wireless, NFC printing, Samsung dominates the wireless printing in the WLAN as well as cable-bound printouts via USB or LAN cable. With 18 pages per minute our test with Grauert-Standard-Brief or colored test page could confirm the manufacturer’s data. This output speed is not the fastest in the test field, but for the private user certainly still sufficient. The time to the first ejection from the standby mode, however, weighs a little heavier. With 15 seconds for a standard text page, the Samsung has been somewhat criticized. In the private sector, demand is more likely to be printed on one or two pages. The print quality is good. The characters could be slightly thinner, but a bit more blackened. For a text page you have 3 cents for the toner, but for a color page 18 cents. Cost-conscious consumers should check the printer’s ECO settings. Not all color prints, such as search results, need the full color or color at all.
