The Samsung CLP-300 is aimed primarily at home users and offers the benefits of a colour laser printer but with a purchase price of a inkjet. The purchase price of Samsung CLP-300 toner cartridges are also closer to that if inkjet printer cartridges than toner cartridges and although then print less than your average laser toner (2,000 pages black, 1,000 pages each colour) the cost per page is far better than you would get from an inkjet printer. As well as the genuine Samsung toner cartridges there are also remanufactured versions available for the CLP-300 which costs considerably less than the originals. The printer connects via USB, and there are five lights on the front for power/status and the others are low toner warning lights. Most importantly the print quality is surprisingly good, text is excellent and images, although showed signs of banding in some more complex graphics, is generally good. Another important factor of a laser printer is speed and although the CLP-300 is not the fastest it does perform as it says on the spec sheet which is a pleasant surprise compared to the overly exaggerated claims we usually see. In mono printing mode the CLP-300 is capable of 16ppm and colour 4ppm which is a big step up from anything you will get from an inkjet printer. Built quality of the CLP-300 is pretty average and its not the most attractive thing but its has been designed with function over form and this is best displayed in the amazing compact size. Overall The CLP-300 is a good first effort from Samsung and is sure to suit a lot of people printing needs.
