Samsung CLP-300

[Ink stained Fingers]

I happened to get my hands on a Samsung CLP-300, a small color laser printer, not the latest model anymore, but with just a small number of pages printed - about 1500 so far.

I couldn't resist to print some profile patches and created an ICM-profile, that looks quite good - better, bigger than a profile of a pigment ink printer in normal paper, and not as big as a profile of pigment prints on glossy paper- it's about in the middle of both. The black level is good, and the print quality looks quite good for photo prints, no irregularities, semi-matte gloss looking quite good on normal paper, only a small gloss differential between colors and pure black, the pure black is a little bit more shiny.

And I looked as well to the actual resolution of printouts




The file has been printed with 600dpi as the genuine printer resolution, the 2px line shows about the actual resolution limit of 300 dpi, not bad for a laser printer.

Toner is considered as pretty much fade resistant, I don't know - I'll run a test against some pigment ink patches
