Network-enabled together with a reasonable turn of speed, this kind of printing device is the mainstay of many smaller companies. Samsung has been gradually improving its market share in the field and the ML-3310ND is the newest challenger.The printer has a pretty conventional design and style, in essence cuboid though with broadly round vertical edges. The colour scheme is not as common, in two shades of grey, together with the case texture, with its corrugated side panels, gives it uniqueness.Paper feeds via a 250-sheet tray at the bottom of the device and there is a pull-down, 50-sheet multi-purpose tray slightly higher. A second principal tray can be obtained as a possible option, with a fairly unconventional full capacity of 520 sheets.The control panel is pretty dowdy, along with Samsung’s ring of navigation controls and two buttons for power as well as to cancel a printing project. The fourth button, labelled Eco, conveniently changes the unit to toner save, duplex and two pages per sheet, to save paper, toner and energy.There’s a 2-line by 16-character Liquid crystal display.

This is still some way less than the cited pace, primarily, as normal; thanks to the time it normally takes the printer to process the page image before printing begins. It also assumes the printer is presently ready to print; it takes a further 15s to heat up from sleep mode. The ML-3310ND have the ability to print duplex pages as standard and running the 20-page document as a 20-side evaluation created a rate of 13.6 sides for each minute, that is once again decent for a printer within this price range.The caliber of prints is well as high as what we would expect from a business device. The effective 1,200dpi resolution creates clean, thick text and additionally should you switch on toner save mode, it manages to lose little of its clear, sleek overall look. Duplex prints are effectively handled, too, with well-registered page images for the two sides of each sheet. Greyscale graphics are sharp and grey fills merely demonstrate very slight banding. Our test picture print is fairly sharp, however some deeper greys are generally printed too dark, and veer to black.There’s two variations of the drum and toner cartridge, having 2,000 and 5,000 page yields. As usual, the higher yield part gives the best.This is a good, general-purpose office laser printer, supplying relatively fast print and costing not much per page to use. Text pages come out well and additionally business graphics are well-defined with a good range of greys, however a few tend to be too dark.
