Test Color laser Samsung CLP-310n: Quality and speed: Text print
DC test letter
The lab uses two documents to test print speed and quality. One, called "Dr.-Grauert-Brief", is a normal text to test the copy mode. Here we find out, whether or not the manufacturer exaggerated when referring to print speed. This letter can be found in Testdokumente.
In a second test we print a ten-page text (Druckerchannel-Business-Brief). In addition to text it contains a company logo, a small table, and a pie-chart. This letter is printed in three modes: Normal mode (no change in the driver), fast mode (lowest resolution), and best quality (highest resolution).
The following pictures show the letter "a" in the three modes mentioned above.

Quality of print: Text
Text print in all modes is not satisfying. There is a lot of toner mist around the letters. That´s not state-of-the-art. The predecessors, CLP-300er models, had the same problem.
