Compared to the Samsung CLP Series printer, the cost of printing one color and one
black and white page is almost 8% higher for the Minolta 2300W and a staggering 86%
higher for the HP 1500L.
Compare Samsung CLP Series printers to the competition, and it’s easy
to see our color laser printers are the fastest and quietest. What you won’t
find in their brochures, however, is the CLP Series’ cost of ownership
advantage. But in fact, as soon as we introduced our CLP series printers,
the CLP-500 was independently tested to be the most cost-effective
among key competitors, delivering the lowest cost per page and lowest
total cost of ownership when printing both color and black and white.
Test Methodology Summary
NSTL, Inc. conducted an independent cost per page analysis that included three high-quality
color laser printer models. The cost per page analysis is a comparison of the indices that could be used to forecast possible
printing costs after the purchase of the printers. Each printer’s index is arrived at by summing the individual consumables’
cost per page. The individual consumable cost per page is calculated by dividing the accumulated consumable yield from all
test runs into the total cost of the consumables utilized by those runs. Toner yield output is defined as the total of all printed
sheets, for six cartridges of each color (including black), that did not contain a major permanent print error (e.g. print quality
deemed unacceptable). Drum yield output is defined as the total number of sheets printed, regardless of print quality, while
printing with a specific drum. NSTL concluded that the Samsung CLP-500 offered the lowest cost per page and the lowest
total cost of ownership, and that the “difference in the cost per page could save the end user a significant amount of money
over the life of the printer.” All figures noted are from NSTL’s independent test.
