Like budget inkjet printers you need to be careful when buying a budget colour laser printer that the printer cartridges are good enough value to justify that cost of the printer. The Samsung CLP-300 is designed for users who do a moderate amount of printing and need something after than an inkjet, Samsung CLP-300 is cheap to buy and the Samsung CLP-300 toner cartridges although smaller than the average Samsung toner cartridges work out to be rather good value. Cost per page works out to be 1.8p for black printing and a not so impressive but still reasonable 8.7p for colour. Each cartridge prints 2,000 pages black and 1,000 colour and they are available in both genuine Samsung and remanufactured form from third party manufactures. The print produced by the CLP-300 is good in black but leaves a bit to be desired when printing high resolution colour images, graphics are fine but photos are a bit beyond its capabilities, having said that laser printers are not known for there great photo printing skills. The same pattern is true for print speed as with print quality with the CLP-300 black printing is impressive with a rate of 16ppm but colour less so with a maximum speed of 4ppm, the reason for this is that the CLP-300 uses a single drum unit which require multiple passes when printing colour and this slows the colour printing considerably, and this a result of making the CLP-300 to a tight budget. The Samsung CLP-300 is a not a great all round printer it has been specifically designed for a small group of users and if you don’t fit that mould then it not for you and vice versa.

Samsung CLP-300 – is it has cheap it seems?
Friday, July 9th, 2010Lost in a Hypermarket
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010When you are a kid all the things around you seem to be bigger than they are. And a teenager looks like an adult because you are only eight and you have just begun to go to school. You can’t reach the buttons in the elevator for you are too short. And one just starts suffering from this dreaming of getting older and becoming an adult.
It is easy to get lost in a hypermarket or in a simple furniture store New Jersey, running between counters and shelves. And you start crying and calling for your mama, but all in vain. Until a kind shop assistant picks you up asking about your name and where your parents are. And surely you suddenly forget your name. You stare absently at all this modern furniture by Duval Group and it is of no concern to you. You go on crying although you are not a little girl but you are afraid.
The situation comes to an end, your parents are found and you try to calm down sobbing stealthily. You switch your childish mind at once over new impressions but somewhere in the subconsciousness remain the living room furniture. And many long years you will remember your childhood and your fears, laughing at them but wishing to come back to that careless time, when you were a child and when you dreamt about moving and staying there forever!
