Samsung CLX-3175FW Color Laser All-In-One Looks Sharp

Printer News: WiFi Connectivity of Samsung CLX-3175FW Convenient, Small Paper Tray Not So Much

The movie actresses of the 1940s had it right: the little black dress always looks classic and elegant. Samsung has followed this fashion advice for its latest all-in-one color laser printer, which includes a matte black, compact casing.

The CLX-3175FW has more than just good looks, however. It also copies, scans, and faxes through both Ethernet and WiFi. It includes a two-line LCD screen with a toner level gauge. On the downside, the Samsung CLX-3175FW's paper tray handles only 150 sheets. While we may want our movie stars slim, that's not necessarily the case for paper trays.

Summary

Color laser all-in-one best for small offices that favor looks over practicality

MSRP: $642.99
