Samsung CLP 500 Printer: Quality At A Low Price
Samsung has built a brand new color laser for the midrange budget, and for $249 they seem to have done it right. The Samsung CLP 500 printer is an elegant and functional laser printer that allows you to do all the fancy tricks without having to part with the cash you might expect. A good return on your investment is pretty much guaranteed, without any compromise in quality thanks to the Samsung 500 replacement toner.
The first feature that strikes your interest is its high performance speed. Black and white pages are printed at 21 ppm (pages per minute), while color prints at 5 ppm. This makes it the fastest printer in its league. Start up, like most printers, is not as fast, but this should not be a problem. If you know you are going to have to print in a few minutes, just switch it on and let it warm up.
Connectivity is supercharged for this model. Unfortunately the wireless network card is optional, but apart from that you will love the transfer speed of the USB 2.0 and the standard IEEE-1284 included in the box. If like me you enjoy the luxury of not having cables all over the place, you might want to invest a little extra in the wireless capability.
The feature that is making this model a must get for offices is its duplexing capability. Duplexing refers to double-sided printing and the Samsung CLP 500 printer does this for a price you will struggle to match. Duplexing is not fast, but it is a greener and cheaper alternative to single side printing. With this special feature creating great catalogues and brochures with a professional look and feeling is easy. The method the printer uses to turn over and reprint the second side is a bit strange. You will see what I mean – just make sure you do not try to tug at the page until it has finished.
Simplicity shines through in this printer both in its elegant and understated looks and the operating graphic interface that comes included. It is compatible for Macs and PCs, a nice extra for offices with various operating systems.
At only 48 decibels, the printer is by no means noisy. It makes the typical noises of a color laser printer, but you would have to be very picky to care as it is quieter than most.
The printer is easy to open and changing cartridges is not at all complicated. As usual with new printers, the complimentary Samsung CLP toner will not print more than 1,500 pages, so you might want to buy one soon and have it on hand.
Resolution is definitely a positive feature of this printer. The 1,200 dots per inch allow you to print high quality pictures on your office printer. Memory is not huge, but more than adequate for all but the most demanding projects. In those cases it can be expanded to 192 megabytes of RAM.
The Samsung CLP 500 printer is a good buy for your small to large business that wants high quality at the great price of $249. It meets the needs of most small to moderate offices and makes an exceptional personal printer, especially when doing photographs.
The CLP 500 toner cartridges is key to what your final prints look like. Extending the quality of the company right on down to the Samsung toners is what this brand does. Finding new toners and cartridges is easy and inexpensive when you look online.
