Carefully selected products
It is well known that printing is not cheap. Large-scale printing in particular can be a huge cost – apart from the cost of a laser printer, which is definitely more recommended for high-frequency printing – the cost of printer toner is usually quite high, especially for genuine products. Fortunately, there is a way – toner replacements, including regenerated ones.
We carefully picked our group of products based on the solid market analysis. This is why you can be sure to find the most popular products suitable for your printer. We also focus on the quality of materials that we use, so you can enjoy printing from the first till the last printed page. Our R&D department strive for the most innovative solutions that will give you maximum comfort.

Bought this for my dad.
He’s a church minister & it has proved a very good workhorse for ministerial printing work, hymn sheets etc.
Great price for a flawless printer.
Everything is perfect, but I cannot find a replaced tonner. Where can I buy it?
Wanted a simple straightforward printer, this does the job brilliantly!
First off I would like to say this is the second attempt of ordering a PANTUM printer. I initially purchased the higher model with scanning capability however after a short wait for delivery the PATUM P3010DW was delivered. This had to be sent back as Amazon were unable to part refund.
PANTUM P3010DW:- The P3010DW has to be one of the simplest hardware and software to configure. OK so I am a long time IT consultant, however to make this review fare I am installing as a standard user with zero to little IT knowledge.
Unboxing:- The printer is very well packaged and will take even the most angry delivery mans handling so 10/10 there.
Installation:- Standard blue tape identifiers for you to rip off, also a well laid out How-2-Guide provided. 10/10
Additional Accessories:- Power Cable & USB lead. It’s been a long time since a USB lead was included in any printer I have installed. Quick guides which are very well written. 10/10
Power On & Connection:- USB to USB simple, power cable in and power on. Setup was so so simple. I did download the latest software and drivers which did take a while due there slow internet. Software install gave me 3 options. USB, Wired (Network) & Wifi. I chose USB to start, one click and it was done, simple as that. Then I did the WIFI, one click and it was done. Man this is so simple. There is a WPS setup or manual but hey I’m a non it user so didn’t bother with this. 10/10
Print Quality:- 10/10
Unexpected Additional:- OK so looking at the reviews people are saying that the printer is manual duplex. This confused me as the model is DW so Duplex & Network and I can confirm the printer is fully automatic duplexing. 10/10
Additional Info:- I took a look around the software interface and found it very easy to navigate and some good settings which are very rarely found on sub 100 printers. I loved the low paper, low toner, paper jam email options. Also here you can configure all the static IP’s including V4 & V6 options. I choose to reserve the IP on my MESH WIFI system. 10/10
Rounding up my thoughts. Fantastic price and truly a great little printer. The toner that it comes with will run out sooner than the replacement you will buy due to it being a reduced pages version. I have ordered a new toner so will let you know the speed on this.
If your looking at ordering I would defiantly give this a look.
Happy to answer any questions.
Good bit of kit for the price…. Would have given 5* if it had been easier to set up….. Only downside is the replacement cartridge costs as much as the printe
Was having trouble working out how to open the paper tray and wondering why it looked different from how it appeared in the instruction sheet. Was unimpressed that the tray was at the back. That was senior moment! Then realised the paper tray was actually at the front. Well, the software was loaded already and my laptop could find the printer. Prints mono ok, even pictures aren’t too bad. Loading the software wasn’t automatic ,but got there in the end. Though the printer was supposed to be wireless as well, but have yet to work out how to do that. My old Samsung was jamming on every print run unless I fed the paper in a page at a time. Cannot seem to get a new Samsung on Amazon and this machine was promoted as the first thing you saw. So like the good little sheeple do, I bought it. I’d be amazed if it lasted as long as my old Samsung. See you in twelve years!
I bought this to replace an old Samsung that I had had for a few years. I wanted a mono laser printer (wireless) at a sensible price, with a scanner – as the samsung was. I have to admit that I never got the wireless working, to do that, I (apparently) have to plug the printer into the computer with a USB – but because my PC and the printer are in separate rooms this isn’t easy. As the printer has an ethernet port on it and an ethernet hub in my “office”, I simply used that and had the printer running in next to no time. Printing from a mobile device was slightly confusing, but installing “Mopria” on my ‘phone(s) and tablet soon sorted that out. Scanning quality is far better than the Samsung, and the Windows scanning software supplied by Pantum is much better than the Samsung version too. Print quality is fabulous and the duplex works quickly too. If it lasts the same time as the Samsung did, I’ll be delighted.
Arrived earlier than expected.
In perfect conditions. Really good product.
I was skeptical… A laser printer for that price? Some of the reviews were terrible? I thought, ‘If it turns out to be a slab of junk, I’ll simply return it for a refund’.
My experience has been nothing but positive. For the setup, I followed the advice of other reviewers and followed the instructions to the letter. I chose setup route number 3 – to use the printer over my home WiFi network. The ‘One-Click Setup’ worked the first time. Within a couple of minutes, I was able to print wirelessly from my laptop. Rather than download and use the Pantum App from Google Play, I chose instead to install the ‘Mopria Print’ App instead. This is because the Pantum App does not have the best reviews and the MopriaPrint route seems to be the more reliable solution for wireless printing from Android devices. This setup was easy and painless. I have been able to print wirelessly from my smartphone and tablet. I do not own any Apple devices, so I can’t comment about the setup of these devices.
I do not use the printer on a daily basis. It’s used for the occasional printing task, so I am very happy with the price. For text documents, the print quality is perfectly acceptable. There is no difference when the output from this printer is compared side by side with the output from a printer twice the price.
I hope the printer carries on working beautifully.
Just perfect for my use. Easy to install and user friendly too.
I love it for it’s simplicity old school looks and cheap costs. the toner is expensive new, but hey, you can work around that.
Amazing print. Easy set up, to use and probably the best quality printer for this price you will get.
Only down side it could do with a longer power lead as it’s only a meter lead but that would work for most people.
Works fantastically with Mac, PC and IOS, but unless you can find toner for it, as it only comes up briefly and not for long, you will be stuck like me with a brick. fantastic printer, let down by a lack of supplies.
My biggest issue with this was lack of precise instructions on how to load the paper. I’m not used to a laser printer. I’ve had many ink jets but this was difficult. In fact I tried to load the paper incorrect and thus it wouldn’t work. Also the cartridge was an issue. Better instructions would help immensely. Also it sometimes tears the paper. Be careful loading.
Build quality:
Unit is well built, but not to big or heavy. The internal chassis is steel and does not flex. The paper trays are the usual plastic affair, just about average. I did have some trouble with adjusting the paper guides, but that’s a set and forgot thing as I rarely print anything other than A4.
Setup:
The physical setup was fine, a few more steps than expected so it’s important to follow the included instructions.
Installing the drivers and getting the printer connected to the wifi was not very intuitive but got there in the end. You do need to use the included CD, as windows will not find them online. To connect to the wifi I had to use the mobile app to connect to the printer and tell it the wifi password as there is no physical interface for it on the machine. The instructions do include how to do this and were ok to follow once I worked out I needed to use the app.
Print Quality:
Prints text very nicely as you would expect from a B&W laser, and as you would also expect it’s not very good at pictures, though graphics look pretty decent as long as they were made with B&W in mind. Only thing I could fault is that the prints come out rather curly, but that’s neither too surprising, or difficult to fix by rolling back the other way.
Pleased so far, expect it to continue that way. Support is limited but if you’re reasonably computer literate you’ll be fine.
I bought this at 60, refills can currently be bought for 20-30 depending on what size you get, and I found a couple videos on youtube on how to refill at home which is much cheaper than that if you don’t mind the mess.
A very good price for a laser printer, it does the job well, that I bought it for.
It was also a bonus that it doesn’t take up much room.
This is a great printer that a bought from Amazon two years ago. No complaints at all. However recently I tried to buy the toner and it is not available anywhere!
I found out from a ink toner supplier that the model has been discontinued. The global Pantum site has also shut down. On this basis I wonder why Amazon continues to sell this printer?
Fantastic value Laser printer, I’ve used it every day so far.
If you’re happy to print in black only – this is the printer for you.
Easy set up, WiFi connection perfect, what a bargain.
This printer is a great printer, it does the job it’s intended for but the wireless connecting part was a GAME and a half we got there in the end. I will say that using it whilst connected with the USB cable is fine but sometimes I need to print directly from my phone or tablet and I’m in another part of the house so the wireless element is better for me, overall a great printer, easy on the pocket too.
This item is very compact for a laser printer. It is exactly what I wanted to replace my inkjet printer. No longer do I need to buy colour cartridges I don’t need. It prints very clearly in black and white and delivers the copies much more quickly than the inkjet one. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.
So far the printer is working well. Print quality is good. I think that the price of toner cartridges is expensive and needs to come down. However the if you only need mono printing then the printer is good value for money
Absolutely love this printer!! Had been a life saver during the school closures. The fact that it prints on WiFi is the best bit. No fiddling around with it. I am so happy I went for this one and not the coloured jet ones. Delivery fast and efficient. Would recommend this seller any day.
Now it is installed it is great and running well,
Did have some issues with installing from a mobile rather than pc, but after a bit of swearing at it managed to get there… Other than that seems well built and hopefully helps our business in near future
very easy to setup, unless you try and set it up for android, then the fun begins, as it’s app does not want to access the printer, but I managed to find an app called ‘Mopria Print’ on google play that works. I have this printer setup using the downloadable drivers for both Windows 10 and KUbuntu 18.04, which were both a breeze to setup, the wifi bit was confusing at first but that is now setup, the wifi light only comes on when the printer is being accessed via wifi, and is not on all the time
I bought this printer for my partner who I am unable to visit at present due to covid. She has a basic understanding of computers gained from office work, but found it impossible to set up the printer for herself. Fortunately I was able to work out solutions to the problems and talk her through set up. (that said I am an IT project manager so if I had not been able to solve her issues I would have been somewhat concerned) As an experienced IT professional I have to say that despite the printer having a one click set up option (which appeared to work ok) the written instructions provided are in my opinion inadequate for a non technical user. For example there were no clear set up instructions provided relating to unpacking, physical set up, removing of transit seals on the toner etc. without which steps obviously the machine would not function. However now it is installed / set up, the printer appears at this early stage to be working without problems using either USB or wi fi connections to Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Brilliant.. prints so quickly and very good quality.. even wireless to print from my phone ..
I was looking for a cheap printer that I could use for the occasional printing because I was wasting money replacing the inkjet cartridge every time it dried out from lack of use. Laserjet was the way to go for me and I don’t need to print pictures so black and white is fine.
This was easy to install and a great space saver. I can print straight from my phone or laptop and it’s not very noisy.
Absolutely great value for money. A nice petite printer that I needed for my corner of the playroom. Relatively easy to install too. It is mono colour, so though it doesn’t bother me, it’s something to bear in mind. I think it’s a good printer if you don’t want to be buying lots of specific inks on a regular basis. The laser jet toner lasts for ages (around 1600 pages), so I feel it’s something that is important to me as well.
Nice little printer that does the trick for BW pages.
Really pleased with printer, smaller than I thought it would be, having not read specifications, so fitted into space of old printer. Printing lovely and clear and very quick to print pages. It’s only a b&w printer so no good if you need to add colour to your pages but for my purposes it’s the best printer I’ve had.
The printer is amazing extremely fast printing compare to ink ones! Silent and very efficient.
I’ve only had this a few minutes but want to emphasise what another reader has said. You don’t need to install drivers, connect to PC version etc if you are happy to print from an iphone / ipad. This printer P2200W supports Air Print.
Just connect to wifi router by pressing the Wifi button for 3 seconds, then pressing the WiFi button on router for several seconds. The printer’s WiFi light should go green after a few seconds. Viola! To print from iphone, use the usual “forward” icon or Print and the printer should be seen. This is in the manual section 5.1.2.2 and easy to miss
I don’t plan to use via a PC. I’ll just email it to myself and print from iphone / ipad. I got this purely to work-from-home during covid lockdown. Best wishes to those in the same situation.
A bit annoying that connecting up wifi from a pc is not a straightforward thing.
This product is rubbish never waste your money on it..give your money to the homeless rather…
Value for money. Perfect for home use, and I no longer have to worry about ink cartridges drying out, or printer heads cracking when the printer is out of use for a long period of time.
with hind sight I would have bought a more popular brand with cheaper replacement ink
The print on text especially is very faint, almost looks faded and hard to see straight out of the box. However for the price I paid for it I wouldn’t say its terrible value for money.
Excellent Printer. Prints nicely and Smoothly. No Mess! No Jams
