Worth every little cent!

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Price! Easy set-up, duplex, bold color doesn't seem to come off on folds
Cons More consumables to worry about than inkjet, complex pages may require memory upgrade
Recommended it? Yes

After replacing inkjet cartridges on my HP970 again -- $75 -- I decided to look into exactly how much a color laser printer would actually cost me, and if I could justify it.

I just purchased an Oki 11x17 for the office and did all of the cost per page comparisons, so I looked into... Read full review »

Mostly good but not ALL good

Pros Quiet, easy setup/maintenance, duplex (double-sided) printing, better paper feed than...
Cons Supplied toners not full, networking option is expensive, false compatibility claims
Recommended it? Yes

Setup was painless (in the physical sense too, as long as you have a helper. DON'T try to lift or move this printer by yourself unless you want a hernia). Inserting the imaging kit and transfer belt was straightforward, and inserting the toner cartridges was about as simple as putting a pie in the... Read full review »

Great Entry Color Laser

Pros Low price, duplexing, print speed, text clarity, easy paper loading.
Cons Heavy weight, toner replacement prices.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this printer at Staples for $299 for home use.

So far it has served us very well printing both color and black & white documents.

The colors are rich and the details are good too.

I had read about some fuzzy text printing on other reviews but I have not had an... Read full review »

Superior laser printing beast at a breakthough price

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros low purchase cost, duplex as standard, quiet operation 48dB easy change toners
Cons control panel too simplistic; LCD display not backlit, very heavy to lift
Recommended it? Yes

Samsung lead the way once again on price and spec with the CLP500 colour laser printer. Offering full colour laser printing with auto-duplex as standard, but at comparable prices to high-end inkjet!

Duplex was the overriding factor in my choice of the CLP500. As this comes as standard,... Read full review »

Support problems....beware.

Pros Built-in duplexer. Color is of good quality. Paper tray is internal.
Cons Built-in duplexer is unreliable. VERY noise compared to HP. Forget Samsung.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this about 3 months ago. There has been a grinding noise since day 1. NOT quiet even though they advertise it as extremely quiet. I called their service line and was basically told that the noise was normal, even though the ones I heard at various stores were much quieter. My HP... Read full review »

Very Expensive Maintenance

byit_manager Jul 18, 2006
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Initial cost. Print quality. Reliability. Duplex printing.
Cons Toner cost. Repair cost exorbitant. Samsung service.
Recommended it? No

The CLP500 was inexpensive to purchase but the cost of the 4 toner cartridges was 30% above the initial purchase price. We found it reliable and the print quality excellent. We duplex print most documents and that worked very well, except from one application. The second page came out upside down... Read full review »

OK printer but POOR company support

bypruessenotto Mar 15, 2006
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Decent Printer
Cons Samsung Warranty replacement was a joke
Recommended it? No

I was happy about the printing. It was a little loud and took a long time to warm up after sitting idle. My unit is less that 7 months old and was purchased new. Recently I moved it from one desk to another. It began giving me the Waste Toner Full/not installed. I purchased a new waste toner bucket... Read full review »

Noisy, Slow, Expensive, waste toner problem

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros good output once it gets started. Good sharp documents.
Cons Expensive toner, noisy, slow, problem with a sensor for waste bin for the toner.
Recommended it? No

The printer has decent looking output and looks good, especially for the price. I bought it to do printing for a little non-profit I volunteer for and it has done a decent job in many respects but has been disappointing in many respects also. It is very slow to get started but is pretty speedy once... Read full review »

Hey for $400 brand new you can't complain. Has average to good color laser quality. A little slow and noisy but as the title of this message says you get what you pay for. Read full review »

Pros great color
Cons slow wireless print time
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this printer in December. I am not a computer expert but I setup the Samsung printer for wireless printing. I have several computers including laptops and PCs that are all hooked up via a Trendnet parallel printer adapter. My experience is with only wireless printing.
