Test Color laser: Samsung CLP-310n

von Ulrich Junker

Samsung´s color-lasers CLP-310 und -315 are so small they cannot accommodate a fan. That´s why they occasionally emit steam. The papertray has razor-sharp edges which can be a risk to the hands of the operator.

Quality and speed: Text print

DC test letter

Mischdokument mit 10 Seiten: dc business 10seiten.doc.

The lab uses two documents to test print speed and quality. One, called "Dr.-Grauert-Brief", is a normal text to test the copy mode. Here we find out, whether or not the manufacturer exaggerated when referring to print speed. This letter can be found in Testdokumente.

In a second test we print a ten-page text (Druckerchannel-Business-Brief). In addition to text it contains a company logo, a small table, and a pie-chart. This letter is printed in three modes: Normal mode (no change in the driver), fast mode (lowest resolution), and best quality (highest resolution).

The following pictures show the letter "a" in the three modes mentioned above.

Quality of print: Text

Text print in all modes is not satisfying. There is a lot of toner mist around the letters. That´s not state-of-the-art. The predecessors, CLP-300er models, had the same problem.

Text print: Original.

Text print: Draft mode.

Text print: Normal mode.

Text print: Quality mode.

Print speed: Text

Compared to it´s predecessors not much has changed concerning quality and speed of print. Solely the first page out appears faster.
