Samsung CLP-300 Reviews
IT Reviews reviews the Samsung CLP-300 and writes, “The CLP-300 hits four out of the five buttons you should want a colour laser to hit. It’s inexpensive to buy, reasonably cheap to run, easy to use and maintain and prints quickly for its class. The only problem is a slightly heavy-handed print, which may need manual adjustment to get natural-looking images.”
CNET reviews the Samsung CLP-300 and writes, “The CLP-300’s print quality was a bit of a mixed bag. Black text showed a deep, solid black with clean edges, though the characters suffered from a slightly puffy, swollen look. Color text was nicely rendered, though some of the italicized and bolded text had a hazy look. Monochrome graphics were just okay, with the photo elements looking slightly blurry and dark (compression). The color graphics print showed nice saturation in color, but the printer had some problems with bar code-style patterns. The color photo elements fared better than those in the mono print but were still slightly faded. … Overall, the print quality and speed of the CLP-300 indicate that this printer isn’t for those who need fast prints or high-quality outputs. But its low price and small footprint make it a decent choice for anyone with basic printing needs and a tight budget.”
