Samsung SCX-4500W Laser Multifunction Is Practically Invisible

Printer News: Samsung SCX-4500W Poised to Become a Favorite of Hipster Librarians

If you work primarily with text documents, you probably want a laser printer, but not one of those loud monstrosities. The diminutive (for a laser) and quiet Samsung SCX-4500W prints and copies in monochrome, and scans in color.

Like other Samsung printers, the SCX-4500W sports a glossy piano-black finish. When churning out your great American novel, you'll barely hear it thanks to a 45 dBA soundprint. A button-less front panel with blue LED indicator lights adds to its futuristic design, as does the 100-sheet sliding paper tray.

You can connect the Samsung SCX-4500W via Ethernet or WiFi. With a monthly duty cycle of about 5,000 pages, this laser printer might call out to small offices that covet laser quality over color output.
