Samsung Clp-500 - A Laser Photo Printer

Standard Package-Box on the Samsung CLP-500 includes a printer

, toner, image transfer belt, drum, power cable, CD with drivers and utilities, as well as manual guide.

The internal layout of the device is uncommon. To prepare the printer for work, you have to unpack and install the drum unit and transfer the toner cartridges.

The toner cartridges are identical in size, and the dimensions can be compared to that of a videotape.

Toner cartridges are inserted from the front side of the printer, and thanks to the fool-proof design you cannot put the wrong color in the wrong slot.

CLP-500 has USB and LPT ports to a prominent position. Above them, there's a plug for the optional LAN interface; preserved space for the interface Wi-Fi is even higher. Additional memory expansion module DIMM slot is located on control board.

It's quite unusual to discover a duplex unit in the package box of a color printer of this price range. However, it's worth mentioning that this printer feature a rather high speed in double-sided documents output.

Samsung engineers have taken care of, detailed and intuitive control panel to manage the printer. In most cases this will not save time in the control and management processes.

Every time it gets harder and harder the text print quality contemporary comment printer. In fact, there is no place left for setting a record: 4x page enlargement used in most printed mode -- 600 dpi - clearly shows that the quality of printing is perfect.

The superior aberration in 1200 dpi is obvious, but you can hardly alarm it critical. For printing texts, the 600 dpi resolution approach is just enough.

This is a color laser printer, and it, theoretically, can produce photographs, too. Nonetheless, don't expect of CLP-500 what you would expect of an inkjet photo printer, those would be the printers for different purposes. However, the Samsung CLP-500 is likely the first color laser printer to produce what can conditionally be called a color photo on matte paper.

Another affair this printer deserves advertence is how consistent the toner coverage of media. For instance, there are no bright flares in places where black toner is heavily applied.

Interestingly, in case of the plain office paper, toner from printer cartridge is printed in a medium to complex surface paper (in comparison with any other media) only a plus. This is likely a matter of the smallest particles of toner. However, fixing the quality toner deserves all the accolades.
