Samsung Adds WiFi Connectivity And Colour To Compact Printers
0Overall Score
Samsung Australia has introduced a couple of handy features to its range of multi-funtion compact colour printers, that will make life easier for SMEs and small home businesses.
Incorporating one touch wireless set up, colour printing and toner options, the new features of the CLP-320N, CLP325 and CLX-3185 series are claimed to be seamlessly integrated into the printers’ design, with a stylish, glossy, slick black and cream grey finish.
Emmanuele Silanesu, National Product and Marketing Manager-IT, for Samsung Electronics Australia, said the simple Wi-Fi connectivity will enable small businesses to de-clutter the working environements, and toner saving features will deliver genuine cost savings, offering “a smart investment for anyone looking for a colour printing solution that will be a valued addition to any office”.
The new printers are certified with Wi-Fi Protected Setup to ensure the wireless connection is secure, and also features Samsung’s Navigation Key Ring to enable easy navigation of printing options.
The one-touch toner save button also lets you print using less toner on each page without compromising on quality, extending the life of the toner cartridge by up to 30 percent compared with using it on standard mode.
With print speeds of up to 16 pages per minute (ppm) in monochrome and four ppm in colour, the CLP-320N, CLP-325 and CLX-3185 Series multi-function printers share the same toner cartridges, which are now available in a new slim design to save storage space. The black toner cartridge yields 1,500 pages, while the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges have a 1,000-page yield.
This new range of printers also features Samsung’s Polymerised toner technology. Polymerised toner involves synthesising resin particles and fusing it to colour pigment additives. The result is extremely small spherical shaped toner particles that are uniform in shape and size compared to traditional “crushed” toner particles. The benefit is less toner usage per print and significantly reduced toner scatter when printing, creating outstanding quality prints with accurate colour and a beautiful glossy finish.
Other features include a one-touch Print Screen Button, AnyWeb Print software which allows you to select, drag and drop specific content from web pages, rather than printing the entire web pages, and Soft Power Button, which is an easy way of turning the printer on or off, or put it on standby.
