Laser Printers

Samsung CPL-310 is slightly different from conventional laser printer that looks like a large box type machine. Though it resembles square shape, it looks smaller and compact similar to previous generation of colour laser printer you would have imagined. Samsung is known for well designed and attractive laser printers like Samsung ML-1630 and has a sheer amount of design appeal, which has been achieved with Samsung CPL-310 laser printer. The small size design is a perfect selling point for this colour laser printer, which puts back all other features in a desired list.

Design:

When we see the dimension of (W x H x D) 388 x 313 x 243mm, it is small enough for both home and office use. You can comfortably keep on home office desk or in the corner of the bookshelf. Printing speed is the most important factor that defines the performance of a colour laser printer.

Connectivity:

This CPL-310 compact colour laser printer can be connected through USB 2.0 port connection and there is no dedicated built-in network port for printing process. It is not a multifunctional printer and back side of the printer is designed with separate connection junction that gives room for potential options for any network connection. This office laser printer has low operating volume, which is equipped with NO NOIS print engine technology.

Noiseless Laser Printer:

Initially it is easy to setup this Samsung CPL-310 laserjet printer that delivers efficient printing using toner cartridges with simple installation. The NO NOIS print engine technology is not well accentuated the point of silent printing engine when this printer initially launched. It is quite noisy when you initially start the setup and install but later once everything is in place then the printing process will go smoothly without any noise.

Samsung has claimed that CPL-310 is silent laser printer and it is quite managed well. But being a silent printer it has to have extra qualities to claim that true position. When compared to the most competing laser printer in the market, this small business laser printer has a quiet operation. Even its bulky body structure also helps to absorb any printing sound in a powerful manner when compared to the most inkjet printer that comes in old fashioned body structure.

Performance:

When you feed the paper and start a draft printing this, Samsung laser printer would take around 22 seconds to initiate the first printing process. After the first print, additional pages would not take much time rather it would be quickly churned out in five seconds. This feature would end up with great printing speed and delivers nine pages per minute. The quality of the draft print is appreciable but it is not surprising to see the quality because for such print speed it has to deliver the expected quality. Samsung CPL-310 delivers 4ppm for colour prints and 16ppm for black prints. This print speed is well associate for small business groups.

Print Speed:

The quoted monochrome speed is more convincing for such small sized printer with efficient performance. You cannot expect exciting colour laser print speed but Samsung’s rated 4ppm is reasonable. Even if you try for a heavy colour output and photo print the colour print speed would be half of the above stated speed. So, using this colour laser printer for dedicated photo work is unfair and not advisable.

Verdict:

This Samsung laser printer is a simplest and smallest machine that you can own for your little business and home use. Thanks to Samsung, portability of this laser printer is very easy and it is a best alternative for consumer who got used to a style featured large laser printer. Samsung CPL-310 comes in an affordable price range and the print speed is little slower but it is acceptable for small business and home use.
