Samsung SL-C1860 Printer Review

With 4-in-1 capabilities, the multifunction Samsung Xpress C1860 color laser printer is built to bring the large office experience into the small office or even the home. It can print at speeds of up to 19 pages per minute, and has a maximum resolution of 9600x600 dpi for excellent output quality. The cost of replacing Samsung C1860 printer toner is a bit high, but is still affordable enough for small budgets.

Referred to as the C1860FW or SL-C1860, two of the highlighted extra include faxing and wireless networking. Not only does the unit support mobile printing with AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, but Samsung's own specialized apps can add even more functionality. With NFC (near field communications) technology, users can simply tap their device to the printer to have a document or photo start printing.

The design is simple and straightforward, with a compact size and an automatic document feeder on top. The unit measures 17.6x16.5x16.8 inches and weighs just less than 50 pounds, even when the Xpress C1860 toner supply is installed. A 4.3-inch touchscreen dominates the control panel area, and for good reason. It offers an intuitive method of controlling the machine's fax, copy, scan, and print functions.

Individual toners help reduce waste, but replacing all four Samsung C1860 toner cartridges at once could feel a bit expensive. Each of the color Xpress C1860 toner cartridges has an estimated yield of 1,800 pages, while the black supply is estimated at 2,500 pages. Remanufactured Samsung C1860 toner is available from third-party sellers at significant discounts compared to OEM supplies.

The wireless support and mobile printing capabilities of the Samsung C1860 will be particularly appealing to home users, while the speed and multiple functions bridge the gap nicely for office use. The result is a compact and affordable device for both sides of the equation, though supply costs are a little high.
