Lab Test Report
 BLI test technicians observed very good image quality of scans when scanning using
most of the available compression modes.
 Scan file size, at 109 KB for the black file, is smaller than average.
 Compact PDF compression reduces file size to 298 KB, which is competitive.
 Four scan pre-sets are available on the control panel for commonly used scan job
types; however, frequently used destinations cannot be programmed as favourites.
 The Samsung C9250ND's scan speeds are above average for single-sided and dou-
ble-sided originals in colour and black modes.

Colour Print/Copy Quality
 The Samsung C9250ND's business graphics output was rated very good in print
mode and good in copy mode. In both print and copy modes, colour business
graphic output featured bright, saturated colour and good consistency of cover-
age. In addition, the unit's production of light backgrounds is above average in both
modes, while sharpness of fine details is average.
 Although flesh tones are slightly yellowish in appearance and smoothness of images
is average, photographic image output in print mode is good overall, with an above
average colour halftone range. Sharpness of fine details is average. And while flesh
tones were slightly reddish, photographic output in copy mode was also good over-
all, with above average smoothness and colour halftone range.
 Colour output remained relatively consistent throughout testing and was rated good
overall for colour gamut shift.
 There are a number of image quality adjustments—RGB and CMYK balance, satura-
tion adjustment, and so on—via the drivers and control panel.
Black Print/Copy Quality
 Text was rated very good in both print and copy modes. It was judged to be above
average for darkness and full character formation in both modes, with no break-up
of characters evident. No toner overspray was visible, except for an average amount
under magnification. Text was rated average for sharpness in print and copy mode.
The smoothness of curves and serifs was rated above average in print mode and
average in copy mode.
 Line art was also rated very good in both print and copy modes, with no toner over-
spray, except for an average amount when viewed under magnification. Production
of closely spaced fine lines and consistency of line thickness are also above aver-
age in both modes. Circle formation and stair-stepping of diagonal lines were both
average.
