Colour laser printers have been far out of the reach of the humble home and small office users because of their expensive purchase price but the Samsung CLP-300 looks to have changed all that. In terms of running costs the Samsung CLP-300 toner cartridgesdon’t cost that much more than printer cartridges for your average inkjet but they have a far greater print yield, 1,000 pages for the three colours and 2,000 pages for the black cartridge. There are also remanufactured toner cartridges available for the CLP-300 at a reduced price compared to the genuine Samsung toner cartridges. What inkjet printers lack in printing speed and the CLP-300 it certainly not lacking in speed as it is able to match the official figures of 16ppm mono and 4ppm colour provided by Samsung. Print quality is also very good, with black text being crisp and colour graphics with vivid tones. The CLP-300 can also print high resolution photos but this is not something that it excels at, the photo looks a little over saturated and although this is adjustable through the printer driver software it is difficult to good result regularly. Built quality of machine is average with some rather flimsy materials used in certain parts of the machine namely the front cover and paper tray cover. Although not the prettiest thing in the world, the design is very good and it’s frankly amazing that Samsung have managed to make the CLP-300 so compact. Overall the CLP-300 has succeeded at what is has set out to do, bring value for money colour laser printing at a reasonable price to the home and small office user with out charging a fortune for consumables.
