Samsung CLX-3175FW Printer Review

Touted as the world's smallest color laser multifunction printer, the Samsung CLX-3175FW is certainly compact, but doesn't sacrifice excellent features for its small frame. Its print speeds are fast and print quality is impressive, and its quiet operation and compact design will be welcome in tight spaces. Multiple models are available for different needs, and Samsung CLX-3175FW toner is inexpensive, so replacing toners is easy on the budget. Genuine Samsung toner cartridges are not that much more expensive than the compatibles which is very surprising.

The machine measures only 13.5 inches high, 16.3 inches wide, and 14.7 inches deep, and weighs only 33.5 pounds, making it nearly perfect for any small office. Input paper capacity is 150 sheets.

There are three models available. The CLX-3175N is the base model with networking support for sharing it among multiple users. The CLX-3175FN adds faxing, and the CLX-3175FW adds faxing and wireless networking. Wireless networking allows the machine to integrate into an existing Wi-Fi network, or even act as a hub to which other devices can connect to directly. Setting the unit up for sharing is a quick and painless process.

In addition to its excellent print, scan, copy, and fax features, it also includes a few nice bonuses. The ID copy features allows users to make simple copies of IDs without wasting paper, and the front-mounted USB port allows users to store or retrieve files from a USB flash drive. Little touches like these add extra value to an already impressive model.

Printer toner is an ongoing cost for any model, and the affordable prices of Samsung CLX-3175FW toner cartridges help keep running costs low. The large capacity of Samsung CLX-3175FW toner cartridges also gives users a lower cost per page.

For buyers with limited space who need multifunction features and solid laser print quality, the Samsung CLX-3175 is an excellent choice. It is fast, reliable, and quiet, and Samsung CLX-3175FW toner won't break the bank.
