Savin SP 5100 Toner Cartridges

Savin SP 5100 Printer Review

At a maximum speed of up to 45 pages per minute, the Savin SP 5100 is pretty quick for an affordable desktop laser printer. It is referred to as the SP 5100N due to its networking capabilities, making it a great model for a shared small office space. Replacing Savin SP 5100 printer toner supplies may be more expensive than small office buyers would expect, however.

With dimensions of only 13.8x15.5x17.8 inches, the unit certainly doesn't occupy a lot of space. With a weight of only 43 pounds, it should also be quite easy to set up, though maybe with a little help. Once in place, most users will opt for the ethernet port, which allows it to be used as a shared network printer, though it also includes a USB port for personal use with a single PC.

Although the machine is limited to 600 dpi output, its interpolation feature can approximate 1200 dpi quality. This gives users excellent output quality without the extra cost. The input paper tray holds 500 sheets, and a 100-sheet bypass tray is also included. Users can expand its range all the way up to 2,100 sheets with optional upgrades as well.

When the unit runs out of paper or needs replacement toners, users can choose to receive convenient email alerts. Unfortunately, there may be a bit of sticker shock for the price of Savin SP 5100 toner cartridges when it is time for replacements. With a capacity of around 20,000 pages for each Savin SP 5100 toner cartridge, it is still fairly cost-effective, however.

The SP 5100 offers solid speeds and sharp output quality in a design that is an easy fit in most small office spaces. Its purchase price is reasonable, but buyers should factor in the cost of Savin SP 5100 toner supplies before they take the leap.
