The Samsung CLP-315 is the smallest, lightest printer model in its class and is perfect for offices with limited space. The device features USB 2.0 and 10/100 Base TX Ethernet connectivity options, which can help you to set the printer with ease. The company has announced its new range of economic color laser printers and the CLP-315 is one of them.

CLP-315 is clothed in glossy black and the size resembles an inkjet printer more than a laser. It is compact, stylish and more importantly inexpensive. The device is manufactured for personal use in organizations. The manufacturer claims that the device delivers prints at a speed of 17ppm for black and 4ppm for color. A review conducted has found that the printing speed for black is 13ppm while the color printing speed is at par.  Monochrome print quality from CLP-315 is good, with thick, dark characters and bold, bright colors. The photo print is below par as the color distribution is not uniform in terms of brightness.

The printer consumables for Samsung CLP-315 include one black and three color toner cartridges. The black toner cartridge CLP-K300A yields approximately 2,000 pages and the cyan CLP-C300A, magenta CLP-M300A and yellow CLP-Y300A toner Inkjet Cartridges yield approximately 1,000 pages each. Additionally, the Samsung CLP-315 allows easy-access toner bottles instead of the conventional heavy cartridges, which makes it easy and convenient to replace the toner in a quick and hassle-free manner. The Samsung CLP-315 comes with a set of starter toner cartridges, a power cord, CD-ROM, an instruction for quick setup and a user’s manual.
