Samsung CLP-300N

Samsung CLP-300N
Front Angle Back Open

review

When Samsung set out to design the CLP-300N, this must have seemed like a good idea: Build a personal color laser printer and price it accordingly, at $300 (street). Make sure it's light enough that one person can move it easily and small enough not to take up much more room on a desktop than a personal monochrome laser or a typical ink jet—which is what it would probably be replacing. Then add a network connector so that you can share it on a small-office or home network.

Bottom Line

The Samsung CLP-300N color laser is impressively small and light, and it has a network connector, but it suffers from slow speed and poor output quality.

Pros

Small size. Light weight. Low price. Network connector.

Cons

Slow. Subpar output quality. Poor paper handling with surprisingly low paper capacity.
