Samsung CLP-670ND
24 PPM Colour Laser Printer
BLI RECOMMENDATION
During its lab evaluation at BLI, the Samsung CLP-670ND proved
to be strong in a number of categories. To begin with, the A4 co-
lour laser printer logged 40,000 impressions with no misfeeds or
service of any kind required. The CLP-670ND, which is simple to
set up and use, provided very good overall output in colour and
black modes. While users can benefit from above average feed-
back to workstations, administrators will be able to more easily
manage the unit and a mixed fleet-Samsung and compatible
devices-of hardware via SyncThru Web Service and SyncThru
Web Admin service, respectively. Other highlights include a high
standard memory capacity; standard automatic duplexing, which
contributes to less paper waste; and toner-save mode in the driv-
ers helps extend the life of the print cartridges. BLI highly recom-
mends the CLP-670ND for small to mid-size workgroups with
monthly volumes of up to 1,500 impressions.
