Strengths: Good print quality, High capacity toner, Duplex feature
Weakness: Unclear installation guide, long warm up time, mediocre finish, no toner saving mode
The printer has a fair amount of nice features, such as duplex printing, 1200x1200 resolution. The print quality is good for both color and B&W output. I tried to print a Word document in point size 3 in both 600dpi and 1200dpi. The output is quite sharp. There is no doubt about the quality. Besides the nice features, it does have a few drawbacks. There are a few components to install - 4...
Strengths: Very good color printing quality
Weakness: A bit slow by transfering and buffering file from PC to printer.
Among several laser and ink jet printer I own, this is best oenn over all. The color printing ( 1200*1200 )on regular leter size paper renders very good picture quality. I think it is perfect to print color learning books for my 2 years old son. Thanks.
Strengths: Price, features
Weakness: Consumable cost -- but it's the razor / razor blade model, worse with the competitors.
The Samsung CLP-550 is an excellent buy for general color printing. While I would prefer a thermal wax or dye-sub for photographs, the price point of that type of printer is beyond what's reasonable for casual use -- and comparing the quality of this printer against those would be unfair. In point of fact I was actually pleasantly surprised by the quality of the very first photograph that came...
Strengths: quiet, fast, full duplex
Weakness: slow warm up
i'm new the color laser market, but in comparison to the huge HP laser enterprise printers, i think this printer does the same output and volume job just as well for half the cost. i love the full duplex feature as i print out presentations for sales. the only thing i dont like is that coming out of sleep mode, it takes a while to warm up and start the print jobs. once it finally starts up, the...
Strengths: Prints fast and is not as noisy as other laser printers are. Nice sleek design, holds plenty of paper and has many nice features. Price is very good for a color laser printer. Can't beat it.
Weakness: none I have found yet
Prints fast and is not as noisy as other laser printers are. Nice sleek design, holds plenty of paper and has many nice features. Can't beat the price. Price is very good for a color laser printer. Prints black and color text very nice and it also doesn't take up a lot of space which is good if you have limited room to begin with. I Reccomend it.
It's not everyday that we at BFR get a chance to review a color laser printer but that's why today isn't just another day. Today the friendly folks at Samsung, who have also allowed us to review their SyncMaster 192MP 19" and SyncMaster 213T 21.3" LCD monitors, sent us their CLP-550 color laser printer and we can't wait to try it out.

Samsung CLP-550 Color Duplex Laser Printer
Strengths: Capable printer with single pass color capability. Easy insertion of toner cartridges. Nice duplex option. Uses full toner rather than starter cartridges. Post-script capable.
Weakness: Large printer occupies a significant portion of real estate. Occasional misfeed of several pages passing through at once, but no paper jams for the month I have had the printer.
I have owned several laser printers in the past, this being my second color laser printer. I really like the ease of toner insertion with the rectangular cartridges, especially compared to other entry level color laser printers which have to be cycled to the correct position. The printer is billed as having a relatively quiet printing mechanism, and this is clearly a relative phenomena. It is...
