Pros

Extremely affordable, Fast printing speed
Affordable color laser printer, Small, Extremely quiet
Color laser printing at a breakthrough price. Small. Reasonably high-quality output overall. Vibrant color graphics.

Cons

Limited features set
Slow, Not all models support networking, Manual duplexing
Although its text quality is good enough for most business purposes, its a touch below par for a laser.

Good design, great results, and a low price but the high TCO makes the Samsung a poor choice...

So, even though the CLP-315 was not that feature-rich, it has an unbelievably low price, excellent performance, and low running cost. If you are looking for a super cheap color laser printer that performs nicely despite being light on features, then...

Some will find it totally unfair to include a colour laser in a roundup dealing with monochrome laser printers. So why did we do it? Simply because the Samsung CLP-315 isnt any more expensive that a black & white model. Why not go for colour then?...

Ask any geek of a certain age and predilection what they dreamt of back in high school and they’ll say, in order, a date to the prom and a color laser printer. Now that everyone with $100 and a pulse can get a fairly nice inkjet printer, Samsung...

Samsung markets its new CLP-315 as the worlds smallest laser printer and theres no way you can argue with that. Little bigger than most mono laser printers, this small black machine takes up very little room. It may only have a 150-sheet paper...

This very inexpensive color laser printer from Samsung will fit the bill for small and home offices that need sharp and clear color prints. Its quiet but not all that fast, which isnt a major issue unless you need to print a lot. A networkable...

The Samsung CLP-315 is relatively light on dimensions and rather pleasing to look at. For home users who need to run off numbers of text documents mixed in with the odd colour image, this printers 135 price makes it an enticing buy. Just dont...

Aimed at the SOHO market, or possibly at a managers desk, this is truly a small colour laser printer. Its also inexpensive to buy and quiet when printing. Against this, its comparatively expensive to run and the print quality is variable. If...

This very small colour laser is quiet when printing, easy to maintain and cheap to buy. TCO isn’t so good, though, as the low capacity consumables are relatively expensive. It’s also slow to print, struggling to reach 4ppm in colour. For...

Colour laser printers are big, heavy, expensive pieces of kit that really need to be shared by a workgroup to make them viable… aren’t they? Apparently not. Samsung’s CLP-315 is a small, light, inexpensive colour laser printer, almost...
