Editorial note

The Samsung CLP-320 printer stands out for its ability to produce high-quality prints with a maximum resolution of 2400 x 600 DPI, suitable for both professional and personal needs. Its built-in duplex printing feature optimizes paper usage, providing an economical and eco-friendly solution. Additionally, its black printing speed of 16 pages per minute is satisfactory for daily use, while its compatibility with various operating systems, such as Windows, Mac, and Linux, enhances its versatility. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of network connectivity, particularly Wi-Fi and Ethernet, limits wireless printing options, which can be a hindrance in a modern work environment. Furthermore, the internal memory of only 32 MB can lead to slowdowns when printing more complex documents. The color printing speed, at 4 pages per minute, is relatively slow, which may disappoint users with frequent color document needs. Finally, the weight of 11 kg makes the device less portable, and the absence of a screen may complicate navigation through its options for some users. In summary, the Samsung CLP-320 is a printer that offers good value for money, with solid performance for monochrome prints and practical features. However, the limitations in terms of connectivity and memory may not suit all users, especially in a dynamic office environment.
