The Samsung CLP-300 is the compact colour laser printer that aims to bring colour laser printing to the home user. First thing to check when buying any printer is the price of the printer cartridges to make sure you can afford not only to buy the printer but to run it as well. Samsung CLP-300 toner cartridges cost about twice as much as you would pay for a set of cartridges for your average inkjet printer and yield more pages: 2,000 pages black and 1,000 for each of the three colours. Although the Samsung toner cartridges print less pages than an average laser printer the cost per page of the CLP-300 still works out to be 1.8p per page black and 8.7p for colour which is reasonably good value. This printer will appeal to those who need a printer that can handle larger print runs than an inkjet but doesn’t cost a fortune and the CLP-300 fits this mould rather well, don’t think though that its capable of very large print runs like a standard laser printer its more of a half way house. With a paper sheet capacity of 150 sheets and a 16ppm (pages per minutes) speed rating its not designed to do anything particularly large in terms of work load. Printing quality is very good with black text being crisp and sharp, the speed of colour printing leaves a bit to be desired but the quality is there, the reason for the slow speed in colour printing (4ppm) is the CLP-300 has a single drum unit and each its must makes a pass for each of the four colours. Overall the Samsung CLP-300 is a good printer that’s have been specifically designed for a small group of users who require something that prints faster than an inkjet, can handle larger print qualities and is affordable and it delivers on all of these things.
