Samsung CLP-500 review

Saturday 5 June 2004, 7:42 AM

Very good colour printer at a good price


We saw this printer in a local computer shop and bought it without any hesitation. We were about to send out a small print job to a print shop which would have cost 500 Euros for a 12-page A5 newsletter, 200 copies. The Samsung printer was only 100 Euros more expensive, so it was a no-brainer. Setup was easy, and the Samsung took about 4.5 hours to complete the whole job (600 A4 sheets, colour, duplex). Very good quality, two jams in the course of the job. I would have some questions about the value of the extra paper casette, as you couldn't leave the printer unattended to do the whole run as even if you had enough sheets in the casette, the output tray can't handle more than about 150 - 200 sheets. It's early days, but at the price, it's very good quality and the built-in duplexer is superb, making this a very versatile machine that can handle most small print jobs with good results.

if the OLPC winds up as a vehicle to create a dependence on Windows for millions of poor people, the net effect for humanity will be negative. What makes it good is if it leads the users to freedom through free, freedom-respecting software.
