Editorial note

The Samsung ProXpress M3870FD stands out with its impressive printing speed of 38 pages per minute, making it an ideal choice for demanding work environments. Its built-in duplex printing feature also contributes to a more eco-friendly use by reducing paper consumption. With a maximum print resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, it ensures sharp and high-quality prints suitable for various types of documents. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The power consumption in operating mode is relatively high, reaching 700 W, which can lead to additional electricity costs for frequent users. Additionally, the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits the ability to print wirelessly from mobile devices, which could be a disadvantage for some users. Its weight of 15.15 kg also makes it difficult to move, which can be problematic in tight spaces. In terms of performance, the product scores a good 75, while functionality and ease of use receive scores of 70 and 75, respectively. The user interface is intuitive, but the maximum copy resolution of 600 x 600 DPI may not be sufficient for those seeking superior print quality, especially for detailed documents or images. The value for money is reasonable for heavy users, although the 6 MB fax memory may not meet everyone's needs. In summary, the Samsung ProXpress M3870FD is a high-performing and efficient printer for professional use, but users should consider its limitations in connectivity and portability.
